    Not the only one it seems. Clubs/AFL getting serious on concussion, and not too soon.

    Medical Insurance claims can be enormous. Clubs must tread carefully. 

    Good thing to

    Given how well the team is going and how well the club is presenting itself I'm frankly astounded at the venom being directed to Lumumba. 

    Read through my posts earlier in the year and you will see I was not a fan of his, I saw him improving with the team but then he started getting his concussion issues. But ultimately that is totally beside the point. All you can take on this issue (unless you have inside knowledge) is what the club is presenting at face value and that's that his concussion related symptoms are ongoing. 

    Logically that means retirement must be on the cards. Whatever you feel towards him think about this: he got those concussions representing Melbourne.

    Poor bastard. Hope his health picks up. Don't wish for anyone to possibly give up a career because of repeat concussions. Footy can be a  tough occupation.

    definitely an eccentric character and seemingly well liked team-mate (despite all the noise). i hope he's ok. i am sure the football department will be on top of this, so i don't think there's much to be concerned about from MFC's perspective. it'll all play out in due time. hunt has his number now no doubt, can't really see him breaking back into the team again. but if he has a long holiday and good preseason, maybe he'll be full of vigour and drive next year - who knows?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
