Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
Not to mention that multiple studies have found that often players wearing helmets have a false sense of protection and often go even harder than they normally would without one, or, opposition can think they can go harder at the helmet wearer because they are more protected. So it unto itself becomes an issue in a way.

Vickery did not look good at all and hopefully he's going to have some intense assessments to look into that. As others say, if neither team can see any incident where he could have sustained a knock in the match and he was apparently totally fine going into the match then that itself is a heck of a lot more worrying. Poor dude

There's something about Vickery seemingly attempting a handball on the ball he "marked" that is really disconcerting.


It gives me deja vu of the time Koschitzke just started slurring his words before collapsing on that TV interview.

Holy poo poo I don't even remember that happening. That's awful :( What makes it even worse is the media pressing cameras up against the ambulance windows snapping photos as they run along beside it. gently caress that poo poo pisses me off as its just completely dehumanising.

e: When people were talking about Koschitzke in this thread for some reason I was thinking of an after the game/still on the field interview where someone (I thought Koschitzke) was almost giving nonsense answers and saying something like "where am I?" when speaking to Ling (I think). Not sure who that was now.

Youre thinking of Dylan Roberton playing for the Saints a couple of years back.

Took a head knock about 10 minutes earlier but seemed okay until that half time point and was then subbed off.

This talk made me look up Kosi getting hit and gently caress me its a pretty bad hit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrxp1vA_lHk

I dont think Giansiracusa got any time off for that one but gently caress me in retrospect it was a pretty reckless as poo poo bump. Left the ground and wasnt contesting the ball. Could have easily shepherded safely.

Watch out for a pissed off Lenny Hayes at 2:00 laying into Giansiracusa and almost starting a melee.

Seeing Eagleton in that clip reminds me of when he collapsed that time. That was one of the worst things I remember seeing in footy. I remember he was laying on the ground shaking and convulsing it was utterly sick. Was the first time I remember thinking "someone could actually die on the footy field".

e: wiki said he was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome

He laid a similar hit on Jordan Lewis a few years ago too. Was pretty scary at the time.

Just told the CEO of the company I work for that I would be in for the footy tipping comp, only to find out that the entire season is tipped before the first bounce, and that he is a dockers support and im eagles.

The pre season tipping also removes the incentive to stop caring about tipping in round 5 because you forgot to put your tips in one week and got a 1.

Bulldogs have been firmly a class above the Giants but have been inaccurate. Meanwhile the Giants haven't been composed at all and just kept on turning it over coming out of defense. That of course led to Stringer having 4.4 and 7 inside 50s to 3 quarter time.
