    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
