It's unfortunate that when Mummy nailed him, he didn't know how to land properly to protect himself from possible injury.Brander was played out of position for the games he played. I heard from his cousin he didn’t stop shaking for the match after this one. I’m not so sure about soft at this contest, I mean call the morgue if it was me …
Poor Brander gets absolutely Mummy-fied in monster tackle
Shane Mumford chooses Jarrod Brander as his latest victim in a brutal tacklewww.afl.com.au
In Judo they learn a move called 'ukemi or 'break fall' from white belt and Mummies hit is quite similar to an 'o soto gari' take down (see below).
If taught correctly, it is 100% possible to receive such a hit and not injure or concuss yourself (see below).
We really don't do enough to teach players about falling down safely...
I really hope the young man doesn't suffer any long term repercussions.
