Oppo Camp - Non-Eagles Discussion

Who gives a * about finals anyway So overrated It’s all about the draft these days

The last time I came in peas I got disapproving stares and a lifetime ban from Sizzler.

No wonder they went broke.

 

[WCErevival]

Just on feral AFL fans. Bigfooty is kinda sane and it's moderated but those Banter sites are horrible places. Most of it not even funny or "Banter". I actually hate facebook groups in general lol

I went into that AFL banter page for a bit off the recommendation from a friend. Its like chimpanzees throwing faeces at each other.

Another player struck down by concussion. This time Marcus Adams

Hopefully he makes a full recovery but a return to football is probably unlikely given what we’ve seen with Venables and Sheppard

He'd probably be very conscious of the risk, given his brother's issues.

 

[THE A5]

Paul Seedsman now ruled out for the year due to concussion.

It’s filled with everyone that’s “too edgy” for bigfooty.




Oh. And pardon the intrusion, war and peace and all that.

It makes you wonder how many past players out there are having serious issues. We've lost two to early retirement and I know Brisbane has lost at least someone else before Adams (can't remember his name).

I think about guys like Joel Selwood and can't imagine how they will dodge issues down the track.

We are also starting to see or understand the impacts in past players committing suicide due to CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy).
Paul Green was a rugby league player who played for QLD and Australia and suffered plenty of concussions. Really great bloke who seemed to have not a worry in the world to all those around him and he committed suicide completely out of the blue. An autopsy found advanced CTE and was more than likely the reason for his suicide.
I also wonder if Spud Frawley might have had the same issues that lead to his death and perhaps many more past players.

Jy Simpkin and Luke McDonald were co-vice captains last year, while the remainder of the leadership group consisted of Kayne Turner, Ben Cunnington, Nick Larkey and Aidan Corr.

So many options there to take over - a group that just oozes leadership

There's a whole bunch of oozing alright.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

If we lose to Norf for a third year straight I'm going to sack Simmo and fold the club.

May as well cut the bullshit and give the C to Wardlaw and be done with it for a decade at least.

Wait What,.... I thought ziebell retired 3 years ago?

Time for another no name, unrecognisable norf player to take on the captaincy.

Seasons on the line you'd think.

They could make Sheezel the captain.

Half our team last year was the work experience kids and we still almost beat then.

Thought that was common knowledge. Stage 2 CTE. RIP Spud.

Shane Tuck was another one.

So how do the concussions make people suicidal? Or is it they don't know what they're doing or can't handle the headaches or feeling s**t 24/7

CTE affects the part of the brain responsible for impulse control and emotional regulation. So you end up depressed and impulsive. Recipe for suicide.

High percentage of athletes that compete in contact sports I would imagine. General public probably not much.

I reckon my dog would have it. Its copped a few accidental knees to the head in bed.

Is there a stat on boxers suicides?
