and his recent head knocks must be concerning for him. BUT ... I don't understand why you would sell great memories/merchandise like he is doing. Selling through a sports card shop -FB Marketplace.

Does this mean he's about to retire?

 

[simba_]

maybe needs money, maybe getting rid of bad memories, maybe just doesn't care about old playing garments, i don't think they care as much as we do

 

[TeeKray]

Toddy is definitely not a hoarder.

 

[bomberclifford]

Maybe he forgot what they were for?

 

[Pappagallo]

Toddy is definitely not a hoarder.

He’s the Bizarro Chokito

 

[Addy23]

Or he could be raising it for charity

Happens more than you think. Maybe not outright on FB marketplace, but he'd have dozens of items like that. Perhaps he's moving house and thought it's time to get rid of things gathering dust in a closet.

 

[MrMeaner]

At least it isn't as bad as Visma Lease-a-Bike flogging Wout van Aert's aerosuit he was wearing when he suffered a bad accident.

 

[yepits2020]

I'm worried about his welfare and our salary cap getting destroyed for 5 years.

Fair call.

The relief is as follows, starting in the first year following the assessment for medical retirement:

First year, 90%
Second year, 75%
Third year 50%
Fourth and subsequent years, 0%.

 

[Stevros]

Does that mean we could change his contract so it’s massively front ended so it’s like 3 million 1st year then like 100g each year after that? That way afl pays pretty much all of it for us

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

At least he hasn’t dumped them in a skip

 

[PowerBaz]

Maybe he forgot what they were for?

Chortled quietly..

 

[JimmyBC]

I tell you who wont be buying them.. Ivan

 

[RossFC]

Should Todd wear a helmet if he's seriously considering playing next year?

 

[Revan11]

Should Todd wear a helmet if he's seriously considering playing next year?

100%. He should also be moved to the wing.

He didn’t take them to the dump, so there’s that.
But on a serious note, maybe he’s just having a de clutter.

 

[Rigs]

Should Todd wear a helmet if he's seriously considering playing next year?

I don’t know if helmets do much honestly

 

[Del165198]

Should Todd wear a helmet if he's seriously considering playing next year?

You can still get smashed on the wing.

Todd was getting concussed at very minimal contact. That shit doesn't just go away. He shouldn't be playing. Madness.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I don’t know if helmets do much honestly

There is apparently some progress in 3D printed helmet inserts that do more shock absorbing than traditional padded inserts, but traditionally they don't do heaps to stop concussions.

I guess doing something is better than nothing, id expect Todd to be doing whatever the cutting edge research tells him to do when he next takes the field.

 

[Gryllis]

This is a little strange considering the AFL's worry about concussion.

If Todd is willing to give it another season, Port is incentivised to do that since he's got 5 years left and they only get support for 3 years paid out, even if it's not the best decision for him.

 

[yepits2020]

Thinking the same. Don’t know the answer.

 

[dirty2]

Injured or inactive list for next season?

 

[backtozero]

It's crazy that he hasn't retired yet.

 

[Del165198]

Have a look at the "impact" that caused his concussion against hawthorn


And the one against Melbourne just a month earlier

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/WZAUvecd9jjdBufy/

Those sort of knocks will happen to a player multiple times a game. And both were bad enough to cause concussion symptoms. There's absolutely no ****ing way he should stepping foot on a field.



This was McCartin (ironically matched up with Marshall) getting KOed by a blade of grass which ultimately forced his retirement. Do we need to see this happen to Todd as well?

Give him an off field role. Hell, just make him the head coach.
