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?  

    On 6/27/2019 at 2:02 PM, Skin Deeamond said:

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
