2015 Worsfold Medalist - Rowen Powell
I'd give Venables all the time in the world. We've seen players brought back who then receive a follow-up concussion and it's those incidents that end careers.

Intentional, high contact, high impact - straight to the tribunal (6-10 weeks imo)It was a disgraceful and gutless hit. I'm not sure he was even suspended for it. These days surely he would have got 4 weeks.
There was a guy who used to play basketball for the Bucks called Carlos Delfino, got a bump to his head in a game and missed a few months with concussion. I believe for a month or so he couldn't even leave a dark room without getting headaches or dizziness. Don't think he was ever really the same player after that.Really worried about dv - this could be career threatening / life altering
Cant remember a player having more than a coupla weeks off for concussion
Is that what happened to him? I remember him being good then suddenly becoming 2nd string role playerThere was a guy who used to play basketball for the Bucks called Carlos Delfino, got a bump to his head in a game and missed a few months with concussion.

Yeah, think it might have been his second concussion that season and it completely screwed him up for a while. Think he either got traded or signed with the Rockets after that and then was out of the league in a couple of years.Is that what happened to him?

Think they're releasing a second documentary soon focusing on the Lebron booing sagaNo - aliens stole his basketball ability. There was a documentary made about it featuring Michael Jordan
I think it is a sign that AFL clubs are taking concussion seriously. McCartin for Saints had something like his 14th concussion in the pre season and isn't even training at the moment. I think they're just putting him in cotton wool to make sure he doesn't have any major issues in the future.Really worried about dv - this could be career threatening / life altering

I reckon McCartin will retire. Still with multiple symptoms after 3 months.
He really has had a terrible time of it.I reckon McCartin will retire. Still with multiple symptoms after 3 months.
He really has had a terrible time of it.
The way he attacks the ball makes him more likely to get knocked and he is clearly susceptible to any head knock. Double whammy. Even gentle collisions seem to get him. It's really not worth the risk.
I can't imagine anyone being critical if he pulls up stumps and rides off into the sunset. Personally, I would encourage it. And if we had a player in the same boat, I would say the same.
Edit - can anyone remember if it was a particular knock or is it just the time and again factor?
Just in time for a good block of footy before we go B2B.
I still hate them.Literally made me hate Adelaide for about a decade
Hurn out against Sydney would really hurt, such an important game before the bye.
There has to be reasonable compensation for these guysHe really has had a terrible time of it.

It's time to Rotham RollTrue, but at Hurn's age we shouldn't take any risks with soft tissue injuries, particularly with the bye the following week.
Save him another long flight and let him put his feet up for a well earned 3 week rest.
