Joel Selwood’s segment on concussion in footy

[Luv_our_club]

Probbly because Clarko said Joel has had 20 concussion due to ducking , and Scott corrected your angry delusional midget ******* coach by pointing out that he had has 3 in his career and all non “ducking”related

But nah whatever suits your narrative

Funny... i guess you are intentionally getting the facts wrong.

I think you need to revisit the statements of both coaches and check your facts

Idiot

It was 11 concussions. Not 20.

No need to be so abusive... partly because it reveals a thin skin.

And Chris Scott is 5cm taller than Clarkson... haha

 

[TiggerMan22]

Really? His had very few concussions from what i can remember

Its not just concussions that cause it. Constant hits to the head do this too, just look at the NFL issue.

Your coach was still wrong regardless of stating that it was 11 or 20

Just deflection as usual to avoid the hard questions

That we know of.

Light hits to the head due to raising elbow/ducking whatever you want to call it, isn't going to cause brain damage. Silly and tasteless thread but that seems like the standard for bigfooty.

You might want to reconsider your opinion

Agreed on your second point though

 

[kranky al]

Being a host on the footy show is a sure sign of brain damage

Ftfy

Concussion continues to be one of footy’s biggest issues following a spate of retirements due to concussion issues including Heretier Lumumba, Brisbane’s Justin Clarke, Jonathan Brown and Matt Maguire.

It becomes quite a long process but one where you can see (whether) a player becomes anxious or is not able to participate any further in the game because it is a bit of a grilling that they’re giving you,”. The league is working closely with the Florey Institute and with former and current players to improve their understanding of concussion-related problems.

Do you think Joel has been impacted by the amount of concussions he has sustained?

WTF?

 

[Sttew]

He does sound like he's got a permanently blocked nose, has he broken his nose before?

He's always sounded that way

 

[Burtman]

Would explain this

 

[Aeglos]

Really? His had very few concussions from what i can remember

*very few publically diagnosed concussions

Big difference there given the overwhelming under reporting of concussions even in the AFL (which imo is one of the best sporting organisations in the world when it comes to this sort of thing)

 

[Aeglos]

You don't need to be concussed to do brain damage.

You also don’t need to be hit in the head to sustain a concussion

Clarkson made comments earlier in the year about Joel Selwood getting hit regularly. He got attacked by a defensive Chris Scott.

Then Joel Selwood agrees to a segment on the Footy Show showing highlights of his best hits, most stitches, and it is celebrated.

Something hypocritical there... not sure exactly what, but it is more than just Clarkson speaking out of turn.

Clarko was implying that Selwood's patented tactic of leading with his head to get free kicks was something worth further investigation with regard to the significant increase in concussion-related injury. Of course Chris Scott got caught up in semantics, and completely ignored the overarching issue of concussion increases in the game.

The issue is worth investigating - players en masse, seeing how much Selwood has been rewarded for 12 years with this tactic, now instinctively lead with their head as the reward of a free kick is almost always there. In 2006 and prior era pre-Selwood, players simply did not lead with their head and actually had instinctive mechanisms in place to protect themselves while going for the ball.

The AFL has failed in their management of the game specific to this issue. They effectively enabled this tactic to flourish to now epidemic proportions when they should have clamped down on it after Selwood's first season in the game. Quite simply leading with your head cannot be helpful to the concussion problem.

the vast majority of Selwoods high frees does not come from leading with his head (if any)

Would be a good post if Selwood 'lead with his head' at all.

A player in the Hawks v Carlton game on the weekend dropped his head and headbutted a player in the back. it was called a free kick for too high... lol

Concussion is a regular occurrence in Army Vets who have no contact and only the shockwave from heavy weaponry. You'd be surprised how little it takes to cause concussion problems in the brain - death by a thousand cuts in Selwood's case.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Can anyone tell me what this 'segment' was on? What was said by Joel?

If you're attempting to lay this at Selwood's feet, you've lost the plot.

 

[gavaniacono]

It will be more likely how much damage Selwood has received rather rhan if. And there will be many many more. Class actions will grow.

Probbly because Clarko said Joel has had 20 concussion due to ducking , and Scott corrected your angry delusional midget ******* coach by pointing out that he had has 3 in his career and all non “ducking”related

But nah whatever suits your narrative

Either way, he's right. And a Geelong supporter calling Clarko angry and delusional when they've got a maniac like Chris Scott at the helm. Delicious irony. "Mission Accomplished" anyone?

Haven’t seen Chris punch holes in the walls or gone off at umpires yet , fair bit to do to get to your level yet.

Haven't seen him go off at umpires? What have you been watching? Yep ..... maybe 3 more flags might help him get there eh?
