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.

    Unfortunately, the marginally smaller average force may be over-ridden by players wearing helmets going in harder because they think they are better protected.

    Good to see a training thread go of topic in a positive (humorous) way.

    Really clever stuff.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
