Ginni should look into thisWas it in reference to Ndebele neck stretching? Which is really shoulder lowering? Maybe this is the way to get the bump out of the game?

*Lynch (11 AFL games) was forced to retire at the age of 24 following his 11th concussion
That's my recollection. Against Port in Adelaide, and in the GF. He also copped one high in the Adelaide game this year but may not have been concussed.Didn't he have at least 2 in 2023 alone?

It was just the one against Saints (after Camminiti jabbed him) and the Grand Final one, AFAIK.Didn't he get one against the Saints too when he got punched off the ball?

So two this year, not three.
He didnt get concussed from this?
Seeing as he passed all the concussion testing, reported no symptoms (unlike on grand final day), and was cleared by the club to play the following week, then no, not as far as we know.
I would think that him selflessly ruling himself out of a grand final is a pretty decent indication that he would’ve owned up to having symptoms after that Fogarty incident earlier in the season, if he had been.The only reason the club knew he had symptoms on grand final day was he told them.
If he kept it quiet they would've never known

I think something's wrong when a guy knows how to fake a concussion test so that he passes when he shouldnt...
Players have also admitted to tanking their "baseline" ratings so its easier for them to reach it
If he can't play on it will be devastating as he is so important to our defence. Anyone know when he is meant to be taking the tests to determine his ability to continue playing?The thing about murphy is that he is often shown lying on the ground immediately after the incident, looking like he doesn't know where he is. That mightn't trigger anything on the test, but it just strikes me that he has a propensity to get concussions, compared to other players. That whack from rioli that I was talking about, wasn't a hard hit and he looked dazed when he was recovering. It just happens too much to him
I can understand why his family want him to retire. To be honest, regardless of any tests, he can't take even the slightest knock to the head without being dazed, I would retireThe thing about murphy is that he is often shown lying on the ground immediately after the incident, looking like he doesn't know where he is.

The club does benchmark testing on all players at the beginning and end of season.If he can't play on it will be devastating as he is so important to our defence. Anyone know when he is meant to be taking the tests to determine his ability to continue playing?
He was supposed to be tested by the AFL but was overseas.The club does benchmark testing on all players at the beginning and end of season.
I’m sure Murphy has already had additional tests.
Latest concussion theory is that it is the continued minor impacts that cause harm more than the major ones - as told to me by a senior club official.
You could nearly say the same for Kreuger i.e always looking dazed or hurt.I can understand why his family want him to retire. To be honest, regardless of any tests, he can't take even the slightest knock to the head without being dazed, I would retire
no alarm bells .. best to be calm.
read the comments (qualifiers) in parenthesis for each of the names listed.
as it 'currently' stands, if injuries cut through the first 4 names then the 'next 4' (kreuger, begg, reef & kelly) will come into play.
murphy: 193 cms 79 kgs (plays tall but very athletic & also covers medium talls)
the 'next 4' have the physical profile (height /weight) to play tall-back and have had 'some' experience playing KPD albeit none would be at the standard /level of Murphy.
- kreuger: 196 cms 93 kgs
- begg: 197 cms 99 kgs
- reef: 194 cms 90 kgs (prob. projects as the closest athletic profile to Murph)
- kelly: 194 cms 84 kgs
i do agree, though, Wrighty's interest in a Khamis or Doedee type suggests we are looking to further bolster that flexible /athletic / intercepting type defender.
I would rather Murphy play the position any day.Reef is far more athletic then Murph, Murphy does it through superior positioning, timing and reading the play. Not raw pace which Reef has.
