So our medicos could be in strife. When I saw the incident I thought it was a heavy knock and was surprised he got upAbsolutely they do if they are concerned the knock may result in a concussion and you really need to rule that out as opposed to in as your margin of error. At least half the time players insist they are fine, often even when they have been unconscious, so talking to them on the ground is a poor assessment.
Usually you have to head out on the ground and tell them I'm not going off until you come with me. Once I had to ask the umpire to tell them he would stop the game unless they left the ground.

Mate I'm no scientist but I'm pretty sure its the lamb kebab you had on the way home.Im thinking of donating my brain for football-related mystery concussion research.
I was actually just saying to MrsEZ on Saturday morning
'I think I've got another one of those *smile* football-related mystery concussions, and ive got absolutely no idea how it occurred'
He got up immediately and looked fine, very difficult to work out when to force a player off for a concussion test.
We don't even know which incident is the most likely to have caused this.

Delayed concussionChristian must've fallen asleep again.
Wake up jeff
Some years ago we were named by Adelaide after the MRP review as having a player that caused a concussion injury to one of their’s.Not sure, they do the review after the game and you have to submit any information about injury outcomes as part of that, not sure if they can open it back up later.
But if Grimes' concussion was known on Saturday that would be included in that process, but I guess it is hard for the MRP to identify an incident if the club and player can't.
That's another very curious thing, there's no way we would be trying to protect a player if they caused a concussion so it is quite bizarre we haven't identified an incident on that basis as well.
This is a very strange situation and I can't work out exactly why.
I don't think they'll be in strife but I also don't think they have done their best work on this one, during and after the game
Look, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But gee, for any of us to sit and judge our medical team - to the point of actually saying you dont believe they have done their best work on this - without really knowing the circumstances, i think is a bridge too far. I am happy to listen to another doctor have a view of this, but knowing people with concussion or major headaches, there really is so many ways it can happen, including delayed concussion. I cant see how anyone here can make a call such as 'they havent done their best work on this one'.I don't think they'll be in strife but I also don't think they have done their best work on this one, during and after the game.
Saw that and I hope it was the essendunce guy from last year. If this is a new one Grimesy may start to reconsider his options. No one deserves this crap!Who's the dirt bag??View attachment 12090
Seems like there were two dirt bags.This was

LolFair enough but I stand by it.
Even Beethoven had his critics.
Serious counselling and mental health assessments required for these types.Seems like there were two dirt bags.
One guy fronted court last year n copped a diversion notice. Apparently this bloke wants the same treatment from the courts, but he also somehow had accessed a maggots phone number n abused him a few times as well. According to the channel 7 report the magistrate wants some contact n info from the victims regarding this dirt bag before he decides on a diversion or heftier penalty.
Who’d he play for?Fair enough but I stand by it.
Even Beethoven had his critics.
I got knocked out once.I was concussed once.
walked off the ground absolutely fine, with only the help of 2 trainers supporting / holding up my jelly legs,iso i can attest to that the player is the last to know.
I didnt even know there had been a dustup over my prone body.
Lead to CHF, jumped up to reach the ball at its highest point only to be thumped from in front.
I wouldve gone back onto the field and told everyone to put me back on
Hope Grimesy is alright
We aren't talking about Herbie are we mate? I got a kick hit from him once myself at a party in the Rat giving me a nice black eye. I ran with the boys from the East so he soon found out not the smartest thing to do and was pulled up quick smart by his crew. We went on to be quite good mates over years but I can certainly remember his left hook!I got king hit by Lionel Roses 'little' brother in the North City Hotel when I was 16.
a big anvil full of biker skull rings swung from the shoulder, with a locked elbow, after a 2.9 sec 20m, landed right on the ear from behind.
everything went white and quiet, but I kept my feet.
After they stitched my ear back together and back on,
I behaved perfectly normally and felt no discernible ill-effects, other than a deformed throbbing ear.
ive never lost consciousness (touching wood), not even when an outlawed lesbian gang with matching tear tattoos performed a vasectomy on me.
mystery concussion? pffffft
