    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)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
