There is also the possibility that Murph just has what used to be called, a glass jaw. In boxing, some guys drop easier than other's. I reckon Murph, the club, his doctors and the AFL are right behind him. If Murph plays on, there's a good chance his brain scans didn't reveal the same results as Brayshaw. Who knows bro but I reckon will be the one who really knows if it's time
They've had lawyers etc on sen, etc talking about waivers & they've all said that wouldn't or doesn't currently happen.
Exactly. He seems incredibly aware of his situation & what's best for him & the team. That's why I'm respecting his decision whichever way it goes.
I reckon Murph's all over it. He'll make the call either way
Me too bro.
Whilst the science is not definitive, boxers have for a very long time worked on strengthening their neck muscles to help minimise / prevent one of the more common mechanisms (in that sport and others) that leads to concussion. Reckon Murph should add some Mike Tyson-esque neck training to his training / recovery regime. He's been all arms & limbs since he started and needed to work on his core strength early doors ..

I don’t think anyone could pretend that they’re not a bit concerned. Like most concussion research says more head injuries, increased chance of CTE and all the issues that go with it.
It doesn’t do much to stop the CTE which is impacted by head trauma, not always concussive.Whilst the science is not definitive, boxers have for a very long time worked on strengthening their neck muscles to help minimise / prevent one of the more common mechanisms (in that sport and others) that leads to concussion.

"Retrospective analysis of boxing knockouts has revealed that they typically are caused by a hook to the side of the jaw which causes a rotation of the head in the horizontal plane. Uppercuts to the chin may also cause unconsciousness, while straight punches to the face are unlikely to do so (6). This explains the term “glass jaw,” which for over a 100 years have referred to a boxer that is easily knocked out by a punch to the jaw. The weakness is, however, most likely not the jaw itself, but rather results from an inability of the neck muscles to reduce head movement or a failure of the boxer to notice the incoming strike."

The role of neck strength and motor control to reduce concussion risk - Sportsmith
The neck is one of the most misunderstood parts of the body when it comes to strength training. How do we train it to reduce concussion risk?
Athletes Should Build Neck Strength to Avoid Concussions, Rutgers Researchers Recommend
Researchers have proposed a solution for athletes at higher risk for sports-related concussions: Protect your head with neck-strengthening exercises in the pre-season.

How Can a Punch Knock You Out?
Several hypotheses have been put forth over time to explain how consciousness can be so rapidly lost, and then spontaneously regained, following mechanical head trauma. The knockout punch in boxing is a relatively homogenous form of traumatic brain injury ...
Back in the day, we used to do an exercise where you stand up and bend forward until your head rested on a pillow type thing, then you move your neck back and forth to strengthen all the neck muscles.Whilst the science is not definitive, boxers have for a very long time worked on strengthening their neck muscles to help minimise / prevent one of the more common mechanisms (in that sport and others) that leads to concussion.

Hi Jen
, anything catch your eye that may suggest Ash.J gets a game ?
50/50 chance. We'll see tomorrow morning.Hi Jen

Gut feel says “neither Reef or AJ” selected with Cox to spend more time fwd with Checkers & hope together with Bobby,Shoota & Billy they all hit the scoreboard hard
to cover the loss of Howe up the other end.
