Did Picken and the club settle out of court or something? That has gone very quiet.

Concussion injuries are going to test this competition
Such a shame for a player right in his prime.

Be a real interesting season coming up but I still think they are a good side.
Everything's fine at Melbourne. Their captain, coach, CEO, everyone is saying it's all beer and skittles.

Wonder if there were any texts between Joel and Angus...
Concussion is only going to become a bigger issue. From the way his family carried on last year, it feels like this decision (which would have been very hard to make) should have been made a couple of years ago.

I believe they’re looking to combine all the concussion claims into one class action. Think there’s some holdup in doing that with Picken’s case as his is largely pleaded against the club, whereas the others are pleaded more or less entirely against the AFL.

Re: Melbourne Watch 2023/24
He has five years to run on his contract. What happens to that? Is it included in the salary cap if he has to retire due to medical reasons?

If only Maynard put his open hands out to break his fall (which would have been an easier action to begin with) rather than balling up and caving Brayshaw's head.......

Re: Melbourne Watch 2023/24
Brayshaw seemed like a decent sort, bloody talented too. Sadly he had a pretty long history of concussions and if it wasn't Maynard then it would have probably been the next head knock.

It just underlines that players with some serious concussions are very vulnerable.
