I was of the belief that it wouldn't help too, but whatever. Angus has access to much better advice than I do, so if he thinks this will help - even if it is purely for confidence - I'm all for it.

I'd add to what I posted #247 that it follows that even existing technoogy padding will offer some protection which might just be sufficient to protect in a marginal case.  So worth using.

    There's surely a confliction for many, myself included.   In form he's a really good player. Adds a dynamic to the midfield thats missing.  Reality is he's an example of 'PATCH-UP" footy.

    If you have to wrap up players in something just in case an EXISTING medical predisposition is exasperated then this isn't clever management.

    I'd love to see Gus back and firing.

    I'd be mortified to see him permanently disabled through something that's avoidable.

    Gus. Go live your life...there's more than footy.

    Nice post. Yep the selfish part of me wants to see him tear up the MCG but it is just a game. Sure it pays well but your health is everything. When your that age you think your invincible but if I were Gus I'd probably give it away.

    Would be a big loss to the MFC and footy fans everywhere.

    We need to stop playing him in the VFL.  He's too good for that level, but they all know about his concussion issues, so the first thing any opposition coach does is designate someone to clobber him and get him taken off for the rest of the game.  Really, who cares if they destroy a kids career as long as they get a better shot at winning a game? 

    I see the same people +++ing Whelan's hit on Hird.

    What's the latest on Gus, did he play in the VFL - or still simply training at this stage?

    Training at this stage. I think he will play VFL in about 4 weeks and then AFL shortly after. 

    Might be the real X factor come finals time.

    Jetta had similar concussion issues a couple of years back, had a break and hasnt had another incident since. 

    Lets hope brayshaw has the same outcome

    Like the guy who ran in behind him while he was watching the ball in the other direction and threw a flying elbow into the back of his head?

    Would that have been a North Melbourne player struggling for form ??

    • 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.
