    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
