2) You aren't a paid employee of the club - or are you??
3) Who thinks of the poor wall? It's probably got a permanent dent in it now.

Don’t think this guy was a boxer?dunno but cant remember seeing him get knocked out while wearing the yellow sash
he might have to sue the red sash mob or boxing, oh thats right he cant sue boxing cos he willingly signed up to have his head caved in
played afl for 4 years and then played local footy for way longerDon’t think this guy was a boxer?
would have morphed into the gooch after ty was done with himJust saw.
The Giesch left Tigerland at the end of 1999.
Ty can't sue The Giesch.

I’m with thisHopefully this is the beginning and more players come out and do the same.
Nothing will be sweeter than a class action to bring down the AFL. They have destroyed the game and their corruption is getting out of hand.

I have no problems with him suing Richmond yeah it sucks we try to defend our club, & docs.
Let court decide if he deserves compensation, he deserves it, if he doesn't, he doesn't.
What I will say of on it though it wasn't that long ago Docs used to send players back on-field with concussions so a lot of things have changed so it wouldn't surprise me if docs did push the boundaries to make injured players play because of important games.
Don't want to bag Ty, because he could very well go bankrupt.
However, when you sign a playing contract at the time, you would presumably indemnify the club against litigation.
You agree to the contract.
The contract is binding.
Clubs medics have a responsibility to manage the injury , was RFC dr the bloke that was later de registered , his name escapes me , think he went to geelong tooI guess the back injury if it occurred at Richmond might be able to be proved, but then again how is it the club's fault? Players know the risk of injury before they play the game. The brain injury would be impossible to pin on Richmond if he has had head knocks at other clubs, I'd imagine it would be because of numerous head knocks not just one.
Public liability insurance , prob 5000 excess , lawyers will drag it out , ultimately settleHow much $$$ could this cost the club?

If it turns sour, Ty would be bankrupted, because he must pay costs.
He agreed, legally, to play footy knowing all the physical risks it incurs.
No club or AFL had a concussion protocol, based on the current medical advice at the time.
AFL is a contact sport, played in the main, without helmets unlike NFL.
Because the club had ultimate say. It could have said no, you're hurt, you're not playing.I guess the back injury if it occurred at Richmond might be able to be proved, but then again how is it the club's fault? Players know the risk of injury before they play the game.

Yeah, thats not how contract law worksDon't want to bag Ty, because he could very well go bankrupt.
