Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - two-time RS nominee ('23 &'24) - The Warlord/ The Boss - out vs RFC w/ delayed concussion

[The Warlord]

Told youse the Wardlaw trolling thread was bad juju. We couldn't just be content with our man.

Agreed, the relentless negativity from Captains Bringdown like you has its own self fulfilling logic.

It was your post that made this happen, well done.

 

[The Warlord]

mothball him.

He is so incredibly important.


Lock it.

Lock it delete it and vanquish it from existence.

People can take the piss out of Port via other means that don't tempt fate.

That'll only make it worse, King Corey has go on it and be positive for once in his life

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Time to freeze him in carbonite for the rest of the season.

Let that brain rest.

Is this from Hugh Greenwood? He hasn’t looked right since then. Throw hugh out onto Arden st, bags and all. Ship off you weird unit

FWIW I blame the thread not the post.

I really have NFI why you invited the schadenfreude in the first place.

Football is about one of the only things I have any superstition about in life and that thread isn't a beacon it's a f***ing light house.

 

[muttley45]

Any chance of wearing a helmet like Xerri ?

Not bad. I shall repent.

The concussion makes a lot of sense now looking at the last quarter.

There was a run of play that George could have been involved with 3 separate times, and he just looked out on his feet, could barely make a motion toward the contest.

Noticed that too, makes a lot more sense now

10 years ago a young punter would just play and probably hide they were not feeling great and wanting to keep their place in the side and collect their match payments.

So a sign of maturity from both player, club and the league that concussion management is a whole new ball game.

Was watching the 1971 GF replay last year, and Cowboy Neale (RIP) just about took off Peter Hudson’s head and Hudson walking around like he had downed a bottle of Scotch. Club kept him out there to take his free, and I doubt he remembered any part of the game. Different times indeed.

This is the craziest example I’ve seen of someone playing on

 

[Mr north man]

Bugger. Do we know if he going to miss multiple weeks since it’s his second concussion in a short period of time?

Might be best that when he comes back that he wears a Xerri Style helmet to protect himself

The football helmets don’t do a lot in terms of concussion protection

That is absolutely ****ed

 

[Mr north man]

Should we be worried about George?

Yes the way he plays needs a Xerri style helmet when he comes back

That's a bit of an old school thought. The newer tech shows a lot of promise in reducing both linear and rotational forces.

God I'm hoping Wardlaw is not Benny J 2.0. We DESPERATELY need Wardlaw to play 200+ games of A grade midfield football.

Can you imagine if Wardlaws career is cut down by concussion issues? The JHF deal would be the disaster of all disasters.

 

[tricknologist]

If he suffered the concussion in the Geelong game, it wouldn't surprise me if the fumbles were due to fear of being concussed again rather than lingering symptoms from the Greenwood hit. It must be frightening for players knowing that they could be one bad head knock away from retirement.

That’s the spirit

Are you surprised?

Seems a little over the top.

How bad ass would Georgie look wearing that Big X type helmet
I mean to it’s not like he’d be covering up the latest fashion hairstyle!

Probably did not remember taking that mark.
