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!)

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

Re: AFL CONCUSSION RESEARCH
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.....
