Melbourne forward Angus Brayshaw has retired from AFL on medical advice, after his concussion in last year’s qualifying final against Collingwood.
The 28-year-old Brayshaw was trying to kick downfield against the Magpies when Brayden Maynard leaped in the air to spoil and collided with the Demons player, who was knocked out and taken off the ground on a stretcher.
The club announced on Thursday that neurological testing and expert consultation had concluded that Brayshaw, a 2021 premiership player, should be medically retired.
Brayshaw told his teammates of the decision on Thursday morning.
