Could genuinely be the only bloke not to play this year

At the end of the day playing footy is not worth it if you end up with depression or early onset dementia from playing.

Lots more to life and might even be a relief for him.

You reckon Nguyen, Unwin and Gerreyn could actually get a game?

Who knows, maybe (unlikely, but maybe).

 

[jannissary]

shattered for him, but i think it's better to medically retire early rather than potentially continue receiving head knocks (like paddy mccartin) over such a sustained period of time that i'm genuinely concerned for his overall future.

Hope so.

Lets get the record.

Nguyen has a foot injury and Gerryn did a shoulder last weekend so they will probably struggle.

 

[Vindicater]

Hope so.

Lets get the record.

This is what we should have done in 2016

 

[MiguelM]

Hope so.

Lets get the record.

Do McMahon and Smart count if they come in?

Are the concussion symptoms worse for this generation because they spend so much of their time on mobile phones and social media? Don't try and tell me that shit doesn't mess with your cognitive processes

Unwin was looking a chance early on in the season, but has teetered off a bit in the last 4 or so weeks, but if he can put some good games together, I think he is a chance later in the season.

He's got strong boomer energy, I could see it being via a sternly worded letter to the editor.

He should just go tell Cox to toughen the hell up

I think they're just more noticeable since they banned leaded petrol

Close. Its due to the increased levels of avocado on toast, similar to the reason why young people cant afford houses. Avocado on toast is shown to effect the brain in strange ways - its true, i saw a facebook post about it

There's been a shift in understanding what concussion symptoms look like and a better understanding of how to deal with and manage them. Having 1 week off isn't enough to mitigate the potential traumatic damage that has occured in their brain.

Back in his day people just took the traumatic brain injury and got on with it.

Definitely hasn't had any long-term impacts on him, look at the quality of his posting!

If you ask me, this is all an agenda from the W(oke)AFL to remove anything related to Cox in the league to appease the far left loons. Wouldn’t happen back in my day.

This post could be a symptom of CTE

Willing to gamble Capper's Mum smoked and drank heavily during her pregnancy. That guy's brain has stayed at the same level of a 9yr old his entire life.
