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?

  • Quote

    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 ??

    • 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.
