No!

Some players have ton of injuries in their early years of life,hunt took awhile to get going. If Angus feels he is right to go nrxt year it should be up to him and the club.

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.

Agree don't let him play VFL next season that seems to be where these hits happen. Recover, train well and play the NAB cup and then seniors only next year, fingers crossed! 

[Jibroni 5,004]

Can only hope he has suffered no ill effects from this incident. He really needs a full year of no head injuries otherwise its hard to see him continuing. If he has a full preseason he won't be playing VFL next year which is a start.

OUT: pick 10, brayshaw, 2018 first round draft pick

IN: Lever, Gaff, 2018 second draft pick

Ex-pick 3, 21 years of age, suffered a few injury setbacks however has huge potential. And the answer is to trade him? Boy oh boy.

Goodwin on RSN this morning stated Gus had scans on his neck and all is clear. 

Good news.

Also, interesting to hear Goodwin say Gus will end up as an inside mid for us when the question was put forward to him.

It's his natural position and is where he should be playing but wasn't because of the concussions.

Looking forward to next year already.

What's ur response??

Daniel Menzel had 4 knee reconstruction should he have given it away because he's had four serious injuries, neck has nothing to do with brain injury totally different to his concussions, I guess hogan should retire, after having a bad back, then his [censored] removed, then a broken collarbone that's 3 serious injuries he should give up. Next time Gus has any injury he should think about his brain even if he  breaks his big toe, because that's where your brain is.

A vertebral artery dissection caused by a cricket ball impact. 

So what has that got to do with Gus retiring?

Isn't it obvious. Risk of being hit by a cricket ball in exactly the right place on his neck while playing football. Happens all the time. Where have you been.

Only 100 cases ever reported of the injury occurring and never playing football. So Gus should be OK.

But seriously alarmist statements saying he should retire are over the top, if it were another concussion that would be different. AFL is a contact sport and injuries will happen. Chicken Little should relax.

[layzie 33,835]

Why does this latest injury tie in with all the concussions and calls for him to give it away. My first reaction was that I was glad it wasn't a head injury and a more 'normal' one. That he can go through to normal recovery and get back into it next year.

Of course, he's had a terrible run but no need for alarm bells yet surely!

[picket fence 17,172]

Righto, I have stated my opinion and that's what it is ...an opinion. Last time I checked Demonland is a forum to air an opinion. I have aired mine.There are a lot of Demonland posters who disagree with my opinions so be it. Each to his/Her own but no need for some on this site to get aggressive/ beligerent!  Over and out on the issue!

[dimmy 1,307]

I think some people need to grow up in relation to this thread.

[chook fowler 19,459]

He's been given the all clear by the club. That should be the end of it.

[Adzman 2,154]

Gus getting the all clear is the best news I've had all day.
