    And Daniel Bell after 60 odd games had what appears to be permanent brain damage... don't put your desire to see him succeed as a player, ahead of Brayshaw's best interests. The doctors don't always get it right.

    Yeah best not to go with the trained medical professionals. Stick with the armchair experts

    Is the Brayshaw concussion confirmed?

    Do we know what happened?

    If you go by the armchair doctors here then yes.

    Don't bother with Dr Google, just ask Demonland..

    Belly has made a full recovery apparently. 

    Very sad for Gus if true.  He will be a big loss if he doesn't play on because I think he's a very important part of our plans.

    That goes without saying

    Such as yourself? If the appropriate medical specialists can irrefutably say that he is fit to play on, then yes, he may well decide to... however, I would not be relying on a club doctor's assessment.

    Are we jumping the gun re: Brayshaw?

    Was it concussion or not? 

    I hope the club was being ultra cautious and it's not a mild concussion and was just a slight knock.

    Plapp said head knock and followed with "it's a pity because he's had them before".

    Everyone hoping for the best.

    Head knock behind the play = .....

    Where did you see that?  Plapp didn't say it in the article I saw.

    If it is behind the play it may be better than a full on in play knock but who knows.

    Saw it quoted this morning. 

    I wasn't there. But a belt behind play is usually far more than a "headknock"

    Not as such. But it's all over the radio so not a secret either

    Its official http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-04-23/casey-notches-up-first-win

    Unfortunately, Angus Brayshaw left the field in the hands of trainers late in the second term and failed to reappear after half-time...“He copped a head knock,” senior coach Justin Plapp told melbournefc.com.au...“It’s unfortunate for him because he has had a few hits over the last few years … but hopefully he’s OK.”

    We have shown a lot of care and support with our talented youngsters:  Hunt, Salem, Hogan, Petracca, JKH.  They have all had long stints out in the first few years of their career.   And I am sure we will with Brayshaw and give him as much time and care that he needs.  Hopefully he can take encouragement from Salem who went thru a similar series of repeat head knocks.  

    Lets wait till we hear more details before we assume a worse case scenario.

    There are a couple on here who make my blood run cold.

    Angus is facing a serious injury that could end his career and seemingly all they want to do is snipe at other peoples comments.

    For God sake it is not about you.

    Get a bloody grip.

    Daniel undertook an intensive cognitive rehabilitation regime. After 6-months his memory, concentration and task switching were at the elite level. He subsequently went on to pass through the MFB selection process, which is a great credit to him.

    How much this will protect his long-term brain health cannot yet be determined.

    Credit should also go to Josh Mahoney, who directed Daniel towards people who could help him.

    • 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.
