I was told today the info is that gus hasn't had any real symptoms over night but he will be seeing a specialist and is likely to have a few weeks off to be safe. 

The club and his management are going to look at a few options to make sure he's safe when he's out there, weather that be a helmet, technique or a stint on the sidelines to fully recover.

    I notice the Weid was selected to play at HB last night

    From  anyone who saw the game, did he play off the back line as he seems to have got no mentions in any of the game reports I have seen?

    May in the outer might be a good start.

    Thanks dd

    Probably accounts for why there was no mention of him.

    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.

    An amateur prognosis and unsubstantiated guesswork annoys me no end.

    I don't know if this helps much but I will recall what I remember from last night: Brayshaw handballed to a teammate, my eyes were on the ball so I didn't see the incident but seconds later, Gus was on the ground face first and not moving for about ten seconds. He eventually got to his feet and slowly got helped off the ground.

    That is a good hit. Whoever lined him up, Got him good...

    I read ill-informed opinion all of the time, especially on the training threads, but it's the amateur medical prognosis that annoys more than most, as it's nothing more than ill-informed guesswork.

    Btw, you said not too long ago you had me on ignore.  

    Couldn't keep away, eh ?  ; )

    As I noted above, best to wait till we learn more details.  And thankfully a reporter has talked to the club rather make assumptions.  "Angus received a minor concussion following a late hit during the game last night," Mahoney said on Sunday..."He reported signs of improvement this morning. We will monitor him through the week but expect him to be available this week."  http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/angus-brayshaw-not-expected-to-miss-any-games-despite-third-concussion-20170423-gvqkgt.html

    The club will give him all the time and care he needs to get back to his courageous self. 

    Footnote:  hope their is video of that late hit and the offending player gets a few weeks holiday.

    Mahoney on Triple M to talk about Brayshaw, said it's a minor concussion, career threatening is dramatising.

    No major concussion plan and at this stage is expected to be available to play next week, is being treated as a standard concussion.

    No psychological issues for Brayshaw regarding the head knocks and attacking the ball according to Mahoney.

    So a knock to the head behind play. When can we expect the details of the report/suspension? Our guys received 2 and 3 weeks for offences that may have (but didn't) lead to guys missing games. This is potentially career ending. I'd expect a lengthy stint on the sidelines if I'd done it.

    Is that why we're regularly having players 'sniped' in the VFL? I must admit I don't follow it too much other than Casey, but we seem to be getting this a bit. Or am I making [censored] up?

    It's just a rougher league due to less skill and less video evidence to get into trouble with. Last year I recall Clarry losing his [censored] as someone bit his fingers when he was trying to grab a ball off the ground in a pack. Seems to be a common theme for older guys to illegally rough up younger kids who are clearly better than them.

    Yeah that's one I remember, I recall Salem copping a belting too at some stage. And wasn't there a broken jaw in there somewhere as well, going back a while perhaps.

    May have been construed as 'hysterical',nevertheless, it's his fourth or fifth head knock and a cause for serious concern.Others have had long periods out of the game or even retired with fewer knocks than Brayshaw. Ongoing affects and repercussions cannot be minimized.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
