Actually, I might be wrong about the aneurysm part :/ Perhaps that was just something I misheard...

A mate of his shared what happened. God. Poor lad

That's from 20 years ago?

Yeah I know. That's how long ago it happened.

You'd think NSWPol might have a look at their recruitment procedures after this

Heard an alleged rumour the unstable arseh*le's father worked for NSW Police and helped him get the job. Probably also why he only got a slap on the wrist for unnecessarily tasering that Aboriginal bloke some years back.

Former England and Queens Park Rangers forward Stan Bowles has died aged 75.

Another one with Alzheimers. Heading heavy waterlogged footballs has had a brutal effect on that generation of players, five of the eleven from England's finest two hours in 1966 died from it as well. It would be interesting to look at the levels of brain injuries in former footballers of that era in comparison to heavier contacts sports of the same period.

This guy was Old Bill, anyone who has watched the most basic of police procedurals knows using you own gun which you then return to the police station and leaving your phone on to be tracked after a murder is a special sort of stupid even if you take into account the whole crime of passion/weirdo stalker bit. You'd think NSWPol might have a look at their recruitment procedures after this, I'd imagine this guy might not be the only one to have slipped through the cracks

You are aware who his mother was yeah?

This is the trailer for a 2012 docu called Head Games, it's about concussion in sport and it looks at the obvious sports of American football, rugby, ice hockey, wrestling etc. At the 1:10 minute mark is former female soccer player, and in the brief 20 seconds of the trailer she talks about the impact of concussion & trying to head the ball following that period




Heading the ball may not necessarily be the initial cause of brain trauma, but I could see how that activity following a concussion could cause further issues or impact in recovery

Relaying Gough's earlier post, it's becoming a very common occurrence for former defenders. Constantly heading a heavy ball is taking its toll.

particularly those playing 60s 70 and 80s when balls were made differently .

And they'd have been heading those balls from a very young age.

meanwhile about future people on this comp

Campaigner Peter Jess has lashed the AFL for laying blame on the clubs and players for brain trauma suffered because of concussion.
The AFL is defending a major class action by 100 players, led by Geelong favourite Max Rooke, and claims clubs and “players themselves” were responsible for footballers’ health and wellbeing, and that players knew the risks of injuries before taking the field.

“It’s unbelievably insulting to every player who has taken the field,’’ Jess said.

“The AFL is blaming the players for the concussion factory which now exists.

“How do you tell a young draftee with little or no life skills that the employment he or she is about to undertake is likely to lead to brain damage and it is their fault as, the AFL says, any reasonable person would know.

“It’s frightening in the extreme.’’

Several former players contacted Jess on Sunday expressing disbelief at the AFL’s argument, including Carlton great Greg Williams and former Bulldog and Bomber Alan Stoneham.

In documents filed in the Victorian Supreme Court as part of the class action, the league has revealed it will argue “the clubs, as the AFL players’ employers, along with the AFL players themselves”, are primarily responsible for players’ health and wellbeing.

He was also the villain in a really underrated Marx Brothers homage by the Zucker Brothers from the early 90's called Brain Donors (John Turturro awesome doing the Groucho role).

That being the case, the afl then have nothing to worry about and can remove all rules/laws pertaining to head high contact
