    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.

    Off the ball hit on Gus apparently.

    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

  • Quote

    It seems to be a common theme at VFL level that teams try to take Brayshaw out early in the game because they can't beat him fairly. 

    Good to see Bugg playing well though.

    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)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
