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?

Didn't play at all. Still had issues with his corky.

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 ?  ; )

From here or live here?.......no we are not all bad, and i was hardly alluding to that. But you have to admit there is a certain type of #$%^^% here that would participate in such an act.

The club posted on the teamsheet on Instagram indicating who was playing. Weid definitely was out

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.

Really good news on Angus.Lot better outlook than last night.

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.
