AFL 2025

My brother has had two major concussions, full memory loss, repeating same questions over and over, etc. Scary.
The worst one was we got belted by 10 goals, and he asked me in the rooms after the game "did we win today?". That one resulted in an overnight stay in hospital.

Ever seen the 2015 film "Concussion" with Will Smith?

Former West Coast Eagles AFL player Adam Hunter has died.

The 43-year-old was found dead in his hometown of Bunbury in Western Australia.

The details surrounding the circumstances of his death are not yet known.

Hunter played 151 games for the Eagles and was part of the side which won the premiership in 2006.

He retired from the AFL in 2009 due to chronic shoulder and knee injuries, but has continued to play in the South West Football League.

Hunter's death is the third in the AFL community this week after ex-Brisbane Lions player Troy Selwood and Essendon VFL coach Dale Tapping both died on Tuesday.

Why is JHF playing for the indigenous all stars?

I guess because he classes himself as indigenous

[FRED]

Why does this game rattle the cage of so many people?

It’s actually both sides, we are all Australians let’s treat each other with respect

I wasn’t suggesting you were (that’s why I didn’t quote you) , I had been seeing a lot of hurt feelings on social media

Yeah I reckon its a great addition, the pre-season is boring imo and this at least makes it watchable.

thought it was an excellent game actually, plenty of skills on show, havent seen anyone whinge about the umps so they must have been good as well

If going to do it at this time of the year, the oppo needs to be different. Either a state team or combined best of the rest or something - no point playing a club team in the pre-season - Longmuir admitting they didnt want to show any types of game plans just makes a mockery of the match (exhibition i know)
