Player Watch #10: Angus Brayshaw – retired due to concussion (22/02). Thanks for everything, Gus.

Sigh. I feel like it goes without saying, but if you're an opposition (Collingwood) fan looking to come over and get into a fight about Maynard's bump/tribunal case (again), go elsewhere.

No more warnings, cards will be handed out. Please read the room.

Angus won't play this weekend because Roosy is "responsible" and "doesn't want to risk the health of his younger players so early in their careers".

God I'm sick of that guy.

Then you'll enjoy the opposition coach this week...

 

[Tempy Tiger]

I personally would be surprised if he plays this week. Neck/head injuries are in the 'dont risk it' bucket. He is having more scans today so a muscle/ligament injury could show up too.

Being cleared by Darwin 'doctors' doesn't count.

MFC: Brayshaw to be monitored

“He has had a number of scans and he has been cleared of any damage.

“He will now be treated for concussion symptoms through the week and be monitored.”

 

[Tempy Tiger]

I hope he's rested. Anyone who comes off from a head knock and can't return should have a mandatory week off, but even more important with kids.

 

[The Dr]

I don't reckon he'll play either. I think he was due for a rest at some stage this season, so might as well do it when he's slightly NQR.

I agree that if his neck/head is NQR he won't play, but he has played 4 minutes game time in 2 weeks so I'm thinking he'll be well rested otherwise

That's a fair point.

Rest him. It's only Essendon

Pleased to see it was Mahoney that was quoted in the article, and not Misson. Otherwise, 426.

I heard the concussion was being monitored for signs of Angus Brayshaw

Anyone know how the young fella is travelling and when we're likely to see him again at some level of footy?

Injury webpage says 4 weeks with concussion

Shite! Still a long way off then

Hasn't he already missed 2 though? I thought they were giving him a month rest

Correct, latest injury update has him at 2 weeks.

That's not so bad then. Will need to get a bit of match fitness with a couple in the 2's though

The old "Dave Mission Injury Update"

Mitch Clark 4 - 6 weeks...

Reckon Brayshaw won't play senior footy for a while. Probably plays at least 2 VFL.

Yeah agree.
Shame, there's a spot in the guts for him the next month

 

[jack son 5]

Just get these kids right. I don't believe Brayshaw should have been playing earlier in the year anyway. Just rushed back into the side and clearly wasn't himself.

Don't stuff it Melbourne. Oliver, Viney, Trac and Brayshaw will be scary good TOGETHER in 2018 onwards.

Anyone else here Goody on the weekend?
He said Gus was actually in the reserves because he put on 4 kilos and had to lose weight and be taught better habits

Not suprised.. he looks a lot slower than last year.

I actually thought in the first quarter Sunday he looked really good, then once he got run down everything went down hill

It looked like his confidence dropped away, in the first quarter he looked assured of what he wanted to do but after he was run down he then looked doubtful with footy in hand
