Gus concussed again

No doubt there are better judges than me regarding the impact of a number of concussions within a short time frame, but I'm getting very nervous for the boy.

Is that confirmed somewhere?

Wait and see, but no, doesn't sound good.

If that is the case at mininium he should take the rest of 2017 off.

In fact he should probably give the game away.

there is more to life than football and having a scrambled brain does not help.

Wasn't that the cause of one of the concussions last year as well?

OD, I don't want to add up 2 + 2 and get 5 but in a Casey thread I'm sure someone mentioned Gus appeared out of sorts/overly angry (forgive the guessing re exact words) .I did wonder what role a number of knocks plays on awareness, mood etc. Again, I'm not wanting to jump the gun here.

The ball got kicked into the back of his head and flattened him I think that was the worst one.

If everyone did that thenSelwood and Lewis would have retired by 21

lets just leave it to the doctors to see when he's right to play

Sadly it is starting to look familiar RtG.

I hope it is not the case but from what we know now about concussion injuries the end might be near.

And no one knows how they will be in 20 years DD.

You only get one brain and the so called experts are we know learning on the run with concussion.

Tom Bugg starring tonight.  Speculation on Casey radio is that he was dropped from the senior team because of his over use of handball (16 of 22 disposals) against Freo..

But if after 15 years Lewis is happy to play on I don't see why Angus would be overly concerned if the docs aren't.

Bugg 4 goals already, in everything. Perhaps he's one of those players who stars at this level, but doesn't quite make the AFL grade.

Of course the players want to play on they always do.

Simply because they did in the past does not make it right.

Greg Willaims played on and he has big problems as have a number of others.

we need to be way more cautious than in the past.

I'm not using the past as an example. I'm using Lewis as of right now. If there was cumulative effect or any worry re brain injury surely he would not play on. 

Too much hysteria re concussion imo. We've gone from not caring at all to way over the top

Casey 30 points up at 3/4 time after 3 straight for Nth Ballarat to finish the quarter..  Commentators saying Kent has had no influence.

It should be mandatory for Gus to wear a helmet whenever he stepped on to a footy field.

Every little bit of protection helps

Sorry but I do not agree IMO you cannot be over the top with concussion injuries (no pun intended)

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
