Isn't the impact of your brain crashing against your skull what's doing the damage? I don't think a helmet would have any effect on that.

basically, yes

it's also a repetition type injury where the damage aggregates with subsequent hits

a helmet might avoid a skull fracture by absorbing energy but not the concussion to the brain tissue.

The helmet would reduce the force to your head though and thereby reduce any brain 'movement'. The helmet would compress slightly on impact and increase the time for which the force acts on the player's head. This creates a smaller average force.

Would it help if the helmet had ivory horns?

don't know if this is so, but our main aim should be to build the list & make the right choices at this stage of our team development... so If Jetta has to miss another just to be safe, I'm OK with another player getting a chance to show if he's up to it, or not.

we have to shed some more players at years end & we are now into the meat of the season, where most players are up to speed now, so its the time IMO, to see who's able to cut 'the Keens Mustard' thus far, & who can't do it beyond here.

Cut 'em out, ride 'em in,

Ride 'em in, let 'em out,

Cut 'em out, ride 'em in

Thanks for that. Frankie Laine was always my favourite singer. Great masculine voice.

Creates a ​marginally smaller average force, it's really quite minuscule.

Dunstall wore one for a few years after Earl Spalding fractured his skull accidentally. It didnt work for Jason either he has been speaking jibberish since he retired.

Looks like he might have swallowed it as well. Been in a good paddock that bloke.

The Helmut would be on a hiding to nothing trying to protect that melon

Helmut Kohl the German Chancellor? Didn't know he was into personal protection.

Sorry I have been offline since yesterday and didn't see that post, I will go as far as saying it was Wiseblood altering one of my posts, seems to enjoy doing that, of course from behind the safety of his keyboard

Excuse me? I altered one post in the Petracca thread that I quoted, I have no idea where you're pulling this from.

Edit - And I'll be waiting here for an apology. I can't alter your own posts, I can only do it when it's quoted and as you'll see this is the first post I've had in this thread. You can retract your above post any time you like, but if you want to make an accusation then at least get it right first.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
