Angus Brayshaw Neck Injury

Featured Replies

 

I think he was supposed to be wearing #64 but I can't see him in that footage...did he take his helmet off?

A later report on Gus: “(He) came off the ground with an innocuous neck injury. They were very keen to clarify it wasn’t a head injury, but he will take no further part in the game and wasn’t in the rooms at half time."

Not being in the rooms at half time or on the bench to watch out the game is a worry. 

Lets just hope it was neck soreness rather than a knock and that not playing out the game was precautionary.  Look forward to some good news for him.  Good luck Gus.

He's not in that footage as the footage is from the 3rd quarter. They were just reporting on the injury at time.

Really stupid to have him playing in this Mickey mouse game considering his history. 

Why? You can't avoid accidental injuries. 

 

So no additional word? Seriously this kid can't take a trick. 

As for anyone thinking he shouldn't play, he needs games now and into the future. He's an AFL player, can't protect him forever

I'm not sure even those watching saw it happen as for a long time people were asking where Brayshaw was and why had he been on the bench for so long. 

The last time I saw him he was on the bottom of a pack. He didn't appear to get up gingerly then he never came on screen again.

  • Angus Brayshaw left the ground after just five minutes of action with yet another injury concern, which landed him in hospital.
  • “It was a neck injury,” Plapp said.
  • “They took him to hospital just for precautionary reasons, but I haven’t heard yet.
  • “I think a little bit around the head too … but he certainly had an issue wrong with his neck.

Going to hospital explains why he didn't watch the game from the bench.  Hope he has a long rest before putting the boots on again.  And really hope he doesn't hang them up altho his well being comes first.

One theory is that the VFL allows for more thuggery because of the lack of camera's on the entire field. And probably a bit of VFL<AFL jealousy. Will we have footage of what happened inside that pack?

Time to give it away! His predisposition/ Bad luck re injuries is cause for concern!

Not in his best interests to continue ! IMV

As dumb as your new post in the Lever thread.

Stop attention seeking. 

Would you want your son to continue with his injury issues!??

He hurt his neck, theres no mail to say there was any concussion.

So what issue are you talking about?

Too many serious injuries ! 

I think time for club to call it!

Health more important than footy!

I'd love it if they had behind the play cameras for all of the cheap hits and thuggish acts that Steven Morris executed today. Time and time again he was decking guys either as or after they disposed of the ball. Or giving kidney punches as he ran past unsuspecting Casey players.

Pure 100% hyperbole.

How bout we let Brayshaw and the club doctors make an educated call rather than spewing uninformed statements from the cheapest of seats 

He's had a shocking run this year, but he wouldn't be the first player to have issues early in their career.  A good pre-season and with luck he'll have a better time next year.

You can avoid them if you don't play. He got through the season and made it back to the seniors. Put him in cotton wool and wait til preseason to get back into it. Why risk him in the VFL? Ridiculous decision in my opinion.

How do you know it was a serious injury Picket? We must wait for the full story to be disclosed before making judgments like yours.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
