AFL CONCUSSION RESEARCH

[Greynomad]

Following the inquest into the death (suicide?) of Danny Frawley, the AFL has asked current players to consider donating their brains to research.
That might be a little difficult....
Then again... depends if they’re currently using theirs.

Might be easier than it looks!

(SWMBO isn’t sure they have anything to donate!)

Ray, footbrawlers and brains, just do not go together in the same sentence.

It is a no brainer, right?

I reckon they should make use of all the rock spiders brains before they die.

Paul (Fatty) Vautin played real footy (NRL) and he was a member of Mensa, you need a good IQ to get in there, so some of them do actually have brains.
The brain damage caused by concussions can't be examined in a living brain, well that was what a number of my specialists told me. They said they could verify the extent of the damage caused by the motor vehicle accident, but not until I was dead .... one assured me I would be dead by the time he had got even part way through the examination a brain specialist with a sense of humour ..... ummm.....
