Bell had everything you'd want from a prospect except peripheral vision. Had no idea of anything, anywhere except directly where his eyes were pointing.So just did a quick check up. He was diagnosed with brain damage from playing, said he had 14 concussions before he joined the AFL as an 18 year old and then a further 8-10 more in his 66 games.
Alot of Melbourne supporters will remember a couple of his concussions were severe aswell.
You'd think someone would have noticed and steered him to less three dimensional sport. I reckon the bloke probably battles driving a car safely.
