Taylor. Was on fire so far

Thanks shame best defender in the comp

 

[Plugger35]

Nasty clash, Taylor still hasn't moved.

Hopefully it isn't as bad as it looks.

 

[Dangas]

I hope Taylor is ok.

 

[Saint12]

No replay...means it's very serious?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Nasty clash, Taylor still hasn't moved.

That is very concerning.

 

[Elixuh]

smart stuff from Kingsley.

 

[Daka]

Taylor playing so good to not only for the year but the start of the game.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

That's a massive shame best full back in the comp. Geez hope it's not a Venables type situation.

 

[Spiral_Out]

One day a player is going to be killed, this is the second collision this year where I've thought the player could easily have been killed.

The contingencies of what happens when it happens, will be bananas, imagine if it happens on a Friday night with 70k+ at the ground, they obviously would have to abandon the game and what happens from there, do they abandon the round, it will go worldwide.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

That looked horrible.

What can you do in a contact sport? All you can do is mitigate risk. Not feasible there will always be risk.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Was it a head clash?

Yeah the clash looked as ugly as it gets. No wonder they havent shown a replay. The shot of him they showed his eyes were rolling and he looked unconscious.

 

[Memphis]

Was it a head clash?

Yes.

 

[Jamurp]

Professional footy is a scary game, this is a young man with a lot of life to live outside of footy, just hope he’s okay.

 

[largebus]

Was it a head clash?

They didn't show a replay but it looked like an accidental elbow.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Thankfully has woken up

 

[campbell]

Yes.

Unconscious before he hit the ground.
Looked like an airway put in.
Hope he is ok.

has anybody in the entire history of afl across every league, ever died from a head clash?
the odds are million to one and counting.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

They shouldn’t be playing right now. Go back downstairs for 30 minutes and review

 

[Rod Stroker]

I don't think there's a better team to watch in full flight at the moment than the Giants

I mean how do you prevent an injury like that from happening

I was thinking to myself he was getting over zealous by coming across to spoil every contest at full throttle just a few contests before that.
