Should Angus Brayshaw has 4-5 weeks off match footy then wear a Helmut. 

First his knee sidelined him for 5 weeks.

Now 3 concussions in 3 games over 5 weeks. 

Spirit, I'd almost consider putting him In mothballs until very late in the season.

FT Stats Disposals - Neal-Bullen 39, Newton 30, Dunn 28, Terlich 27, Trengove 26, Munro 23, Hutchins 21.

Geez 28 is a big number for Dunn. The others, while impressive, are not surprising.

There will be pressure on the players tomorrow to perform, they have a few breathing down their necks, surely ANB will get a game next week.

Got to feel for Terlich, I'd say his card's been marked and he has played his last game for Melbourne.  From what Roos has said he doesn't seem to see Trenners back in the side any time soon, I'm not sure why he would be singled out and have to put his hand up to say he's ready to play AFL again.

No, that is Trenners, he wants to get a solid block of footy under his belt, testing the foot out, knows AFL is up another level, don't forget he hasn't played for 2 years

He (Angus) certainly is having an absolutely awful run of bad luck, when all was looking great for him after an amazing debut season.  Absolutely none of it due to conditioning or player management, thus far at least.....

IF indeed this is another concussion, he should see a neurologist / neurosurgeon for advice, but IMVHO he should be told to take a month off from footy, keep fit, and hit the reset button in July.  So what if he misses most if not all of this season if it means getting everything right?   There will be a place for him in our exciting midfield, meanwhile the likes of ANB, VDB can get a run.

What we and he do NOT need is a season of repeated knocks and him ending up like Roh Bail or others like him.

Are either (or both) of Weideman or Huelett looking like getting a run sometime later in the season?

Both sound impressive for their age.

Agree entirely. This is a boy who probably needs to be stopped/ protected from his own lack of self preservation.

Can we please get Brayshaw resting for a month? We inappropriately ran him into the ground last year and he clearly needs a spell.

With the depth we have currently, there is absolutely no reason we should be treating Brayshaw with anything but absolute conservatism.

Honestly I have no idea how he wasn't in for Michie this week, with Salem back. 

I'd have to agree with that.

TBH i have only watched the Essendon/Casey game on the MFC website but it seemed to me that Michie's possessions seemed to be a bit more outside and gained more metres than ANB's which were more inside. If that is true and consistent then ANB is fighting for Tyson/Oliver/Jones/Viney's spots more-so than Michie/Salem/Vince's spots

never thought I'd actually be looking forward to going to see a VFL game. Next Sat night at Casey vs box hill should be a ripper. Gotta love this depth.. & that they're performing so well is super exciting.

The head gear helps protect against cuts and bone fractures but not concussion, which is more about the brain being banged around (for want of a better phrase) inside the head from sudden impact. As others have mentioned on another thread, the head gear can sometimes have the effect of giving the wearer a false sense of security and propensity to take greater risks.

Exactly what Nev Jetta was told last year when he had the same issue, the only 'cure' is 4 - 6 weeks of keeping your head away from contact

Should keep the pressure on Michie and Stretch (amongst others) to keep themselves involved this week.

Absolutely.  It's a great spot to be in - those fringe players need to play out of their skin each week to keep their spot with plenty ready to come in if they drop their bundle.  

Great to see ANB dominate again, and when his opportunity comes, whether it be next week or in 5 weeks, he will hopefully be able to hit the ground running.

Another great result! Scorps march on at the top of the ladder. None of the experts had us pegged to be this balanced a side in this comp

Each week we have a rotation of midfielders racking up good numbers, forwards sharing the goalscoring load and defenders marshalling with experience.

We can now afford to take our time with key position prospects such as O Mac, Weideman and Hulett, giving them a good block of games to develop

their craft and gain confidence in using their bodies against bigger opponents. The loss of our skipper Panozza hasnt been as badly felt as I thought it would be.

Don't forget re all these 'young players', AVB due to return next week (or so) as well.

Having a decent run with injuries.

Good win today, was worried at quarter time. Can't underestimate the importance of having experienced players like Dawes, Trengove and Dunn on the field.

Not sure who ANB is due to replace, but whoever it is, they wouldn't want to have an off match.

And there you have one of the important building blocks of a good side.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
