copped a knee in a ruck contest.

Apparently the bulldogs have gone into some sort of crisis meeting

They'll come out reassuring everyone that Bevo's future is secure only to sack him when they lose to Richmond this week. Seen it many times before.

The knee to the head in a marking contest is a glaring omission from any discussion regarding concussions. It's genuinely surprising we haven't seen a serious injury in recent times from it.

I don't reckon the AFL is keen to have that conversation too soon but it would be on their radar. They won't ever want to remove the specky.

Yes he has added’Nostra’ to the title I was giving him last week.

What's his complete title now?

I think the Collingwood doctor cleared Nathan Murphy to go back on after he copped that nasty concussion in the GF when the point of McCarthy's shoulder rammed through his head. Murphy couldn't see properly and ruled himself out. This was the blow that ended his career but the doc said he was fine to go.

Paddy Cripps got 3 separate head blows that left him stunned in that final against Melbourne including a nasty one from Pickett where he was down for a while. I don't think he was even assessed and said after the match he copped a few knocks to the head.

The teams that do the right thing are the ones that get penalised in the short term but when these guys show problems later the clubs who employed Dr Nikolas Van Helsing to run things will be in strife.

Murphy was dumped into the turf by Daicos in the preseason.
The issue with concussions is you don't know what was the final straw.
Would Murphy have recovered with enough time from the GF hit if not for the tackle in preseason?
Was he already on his way out of the game before the preseason tackle and it did nothing?

I'm sure the AFL handing out these suspensions is going to fix everything though.
Just top work by them.

It seems it was the GF one that caused him problems and he didn't think the Daicos one was a problem at least according to this article:

Murphy's immediate future uncertain as he opts out of practice games

Nathan Murphy says he's not ready for competitive matches after suffering a concussion in the Grand Final

www.afl.com.au

But like you said who really knows they often conceal the reality and extent of the injury, and often don't understand the situation entirely - as you mention he might have had issues from the McCarthy hit and the Daicos one lighter but was enough to rock the boat.

Is he going to throw his teammate and media anointed golden child under the bus or an opposition player?

Yep I think at Collingwood induction they all get warned against penning articles headlined “Nick Daicos Ended My Career”

Hopefully the footy gods smile on us and we beat them by a point in a final.

1. We beat them by a point in a final

This is all set up for a Carlton choke job for the ages.
