The Medically Retired HOF Squad

[Rod Stroker]

In the space of 6 months, 3 very good players have been "medically retired" from the game, 2 of them premiership players, the other a number 1 draft pick who played in a GF 18 months ago.
There will be many more to come given the increased focus on concussion and CTE.

Full Back	Nathan Murphy (Col)	Paddy McCartin (Syd)​
Half Back
Center	Angus Brayshaw (Mel)

If injured guys not getting back is considered “medically retired” then the first picked is John Coleman.

would've been a freak without doing 800 ACLs. He still was, at times. But breaking out in the 2011 season, he looked set to be our next superstar forward who would be very capable of midfield stints ala Chappy and Johnson.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Are we turning back the clock here?

Dean Kemp - retired due to concussion issues nearly 25 years ago.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Could probably squeeze the goat in

Continuing the poor taste theme, Neil Sacshe

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Wow, I wasn't aware they were medically retired.

Sheppard still cant work a proper job because of his concussion issues. Worked for a bit but had to quit because he kept getting headaches and the like.

[ibd77]

Medically Retirement = Forced Retirement due to injury or illness? Or just head injury only?

 

[InternetToughGuy]

Blokes doing their knees/feet and not being able to get back on the park because they're not up to scratch anymore aren't "medically retired".

"Medically retired" refers to concussions/cardiac issues etc to players who could continue playing but have been medically advised to stop.

Heart as well.

Jayden Pitt, for example.
