Q1 15:41 - Collingwood 2.0 (12) Melbourne 1.0 (6)

The Dees are on the board here but the focus is turned squarely off the game right now.

Angus Brayshaw kicked inside 50 and was collected by Brayden Maynard, crashing heavily to the turf.

He looks to have suffered a concussion and has stayed down as medical staff work to safely take him from the field.

Bailey Laurie will be substituted into the game in place of Brayshaw.

Maynard checked in on Brayshaw, while Geelong star Patrick Dangerfield in commentary said the incident was accidental.

“There is nothing in this,” he said on Channel 7.

“You have a duty of care to yourself, to protect yourself as you come to land. Unfortunately in this game, contact occurs. There is nothing in this for me.”

But that - and the fact that the medicab was still on the ground - didn’t stop Jack Viney from going into bat for Brayshaw and having a crack at Maynard.

Maynard gave it back with a small push with the head, while several players rushed in with play still halted.
