Concerns Over Melbourne Midfielder After VFL Injury

Concussion fears


22 April 2017

Melbourne midfielder Angus Brayshaw has suffered another concussion in the VFL, throwing his immediate future in doubt.

Brayshaw was playing for Melbourne’s affiliate, Casey, and copped a head knock before half time.

He couldn’t come out and play after the injury.

Brayshaw was concussed twice in three weeks playing VFL last year, and missed a swathe of the season due to it.

Concussion has become a hot topic in the AFL recently, with clubs and the AFL bringing in protocols to deal with it during matches.

Melbourne will assess Brayshaw in the coming days.
