The reduction would be minimal.

Reduces the likelihood of concussion by up to 55%

Edited by ManDee
Edit : I have no idea how valid the data is But it references Australian sports - AFL - https://hexlid.com.au/pages/technical-specifications - Looking at the graph it shows approx 40% reduction in likelihood of concussion

    hasn't kk been wearing a helmet at vfl level for several weeks now?

    he certainly was the weekend before last

    Yes he has!

    I guess the players wear the helmet:

    - to give them confidence on the field (not necessarily viable but whatever works)

    - to worry their families slightly less (Brayshaw)

    Jeffy and Joel done for the season. KK copped another head knock. No Lever this week. Hibberd a chance.

    Round 14 Injury Report

     

    I must say I haven't seen much of KK either in previous years or this year, but could it possibly be that he has a problem with peripheral vision / spatial awareness like that Saints guy ?Koshitske?

    Joel Smith out for the season.  As is Jeffy. 

    New injuries in AFL:  Keiltly 3-4 weeks (Ankle)  Stretch (Foot) 2-3 weeks.  No info as to whether it is the foot Stretch hurt late last year.

    Difficult situation for them as all are out of contract at EOS. 

    As Lord Nev mentioned KK had another head knock.  Hope he is ok.  Happening far too often.

    Jeff, Stretch and Keilty must be very close to non renewals

    To those saying we should have taken Joel Smith off the ground, we had a JLT cup game to win and he kicked 4 while planted in the goal square. I don't see what the problem is. 

    Does anyone have any factual information about the nature of his injury?  I didn't see the JLT game but when he kicked these goals did he look hurt?

    Smith, Garlett and Vandenberg all seriously injured during the preseason games. (Vandenberg last year.) Those games are a disaster for us.

    SD - so are you suggesting that we boycott these "meaningless preseason games"?  Would you then be prepared to cut the team some slack if they take time, maybe a few rounds, to get vital match practice?

    He had an uneventful JLT series. Must have tweaked it at training before round 1....

    Hahahahahaha. 

    It’s that or cry. How good has 2019 been?

    It's such a write off. As long as we can have a healthy-ish list for the start of preseason then I'll keep my hopes up for 2020.

    Gets a run of form and then he's out for the year. 2019 has been disastrous! 

    Hopefully it sets us up for a nice run at 2020 though with a softer fixture and a hopefully "fresher" squad

    Yup. Do we know the recovery time for TMac? Obviously no more matches this year, but how will his pre-season be impacted?

    Not sure, but apparently it's only a "slight tear", so at a very rough guess I would think he's safe for the start of preseason. Sparrow had a similar injury, I think a worse version though, and he was expected to miss about 8-9 weeks.

    Silver lining for him individually is that he hopefully got some of his 2018 confidence back before going down he, can hit the preseason hard. Better going down now than late in August

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
