![]() Melbourne youngster Angus Brayshaw will take a "period away" from the club after suffering his fourth concussion in just the last 12 months. The 21-year old midfielder suffered his latest concussion in the VFL, and hasn't played a game of football since mid-May. Melbourne co-captain Nathan Jones spoke on RSN927 about Brayshaw's concussion issues. "I caught up with Angus last week and he's having a small period away from the club, just to recover from his latest head knock," Jones said. "I think he'll probably take a period of time out of the game, as long as that is I'm not too sure at this stage. "I guess there's a process of getting tests and seeing how he's progressing with the normal SCAT (concussion) testing and whether that testing goes to another level. "We expect [him] getting back playing again." Brayshaw has only played 33 AFL games since he was picked at No. 3 in the 2014 AFL Draft. "He's got a really positive mindset about it and wants to get some luck back," Jones said. "He's just got to get back on the bike...practicing some of his techniques and build some confidence back again and just get out there and play. "I think he'll be alright, but obviously [it's] a tough time for him trying to work through the whole process and where it sits with all the media hype around concussion, which is an interesting debate within itself. "I think 'Gussy' will be fine and he'll be back again better than ever."
