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

    makes no difference to our season. hope tom McDonald recovers and works on his goal kicking in the off season.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
