I think its Michael Embley a couple of pictures of him, firstly when he was on our list and the second picture much latter when he was playing up North.

Both the Embley brothers have stacked on the pudding since their playing days.

Standing next to Seaby in that picture the heights look about right, Seaby is 199cm and Michael Embley is 197 cm.

Dead ringer I reckon.

Cockie is a few months younger than Schofield. He ain’t going to look that old

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Dark Sharks, time to lay down the law.

 

[THE A5]

Some of those guys have aged well and some aged so poorly

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Sampi's always been fat and the MS diagnosis probably didn't help

Banfield the oldest and has aged the best.

Armstrong is 41 and looks in his 50s.

But yeah, I can see the Embley family resemblance now.

Sampi too. Banfield is 4 years older than Cuz, Green but looks way older but probably doesn’t help that those two look great

Think you might be spot on

If you frame the shot so it's Andrew on one side and Michael on the other you can see the resemblance between them

Which one's Kasey Green?

Thanks guys.

I know they're still young at life but I can't believe they're at the ages they are.

Time flies too quickly.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I find it easier to recognise the early 90s guys than the mid 2000s era, who seem to have aged a lot worse.

Drugs man.

Except cuz and green and even carroll

Darren Glass has barely aged, one of those that looked older from day one.

Sad news this morning with confirmation Adam was suffering from CTE at just 43 years old

Sad news this morning with confirmation Adam was suffering from CTE at just 43 years old

Really sad isn't it, have to wonder how it impacted and continues to impact a lot of these guys through their lives.

Makes you think, a lot of us would have played our own footy back during times (not even that long ago) where a concussion was just a bit of a knock, maybe a headache and she'll be right get on with it. I can remember playing juniors, having very obvious concussion symptoms the next day at school, and then running back out for footy training and a game the same week. Nobody thought anything of it because it was entirely unknown at the time.

2011 elimination final Vs Carlton

Josh Kennedy got knocked out in the first quarter. He reckons he played the rest of that match on auto pilot as he had no recollection of that game after. Still kicked 3 goals too.

Had a cracked eye socket I think. He and Darling had big games.

Nuts how recent this kind of stuff was happening.

I remember back then being relieved that an injury was only an concussion so they could go back onto the field.

Nobody thought anything of it because it was entirely unknown at the time.

I remember knocking myself out in what would turn out to be my last ever game of footy at the ripe old age of 22.

Prelim final, made a pretty desperate tackle and my technique was horrible so I ended up falling flat on my back but held onto the tackle so the other bloke landed on top of me. The back of my head slammed into the rock hard Pilbara turf and then his hip hit me in the forehead so I got a double head knock.

I was able to jog off the ground myself but the coach said he took one look at my eyes and put a line through me. After the game I had to leave the rooms during the team song because I couldn't cope with the noise.

Went up to the hospital and the doctor told me no contact sport for 3 months and gave me the week off work. I thought it was massively over the top at the time, maybe in hindsight it wasn't. It took me a few days to start feeling normal again.

Can't imagine going through that regularly would be good for you.

rock hard Pilbara turf

Was it seasoned?

The thing is its not just single big concussions with CTE its regular knocks. I'm not sure if the Selwood brothers were checked for it but they would be prime candidates.
