Out of the VFL players number 7 and number 1 got a lot of the ball. Number 1 would be a good kick, if only the ball would go straight.

A fast game. Still too many kicking errors for my liking.

Sorry no more details, too much yackety-yak to the people sitting next to me.

I heard Boyd hurt his knee and Fergus green shoulder .

I was right next to Fergus Green when he came off at the end of the match. He didn't seem to be in shoulder trouble. But I don't notice everything.

Caleb's mum won't be happy that he didn't wear his helmet, I hope that she keeps letting him play when she finds out.

Thanks Ringer.

I read somewhere that Caleb was a late out of the senior team with illness. I recall something about ringing in sick on the morning with food poisoning. ��

Haven't heard but don't think either were serious.

SEN prog on helmets, interviewing specialists in the field, saying helmets do not help with concussion, instead can make it worse because can prolong the wobbling of the brain. The problem is the brain wobbling inside the cranium and helmets do not help this, can occasionally prolong it.

Yep the definition of a concussion is the brain hitting the skull and getting damaged. There is research that suggests the helmet can spread the impact of a hit to the head so that the area that is impacted is greater than if you get hit by a bare hand or foot or head to head contact (H2H is the most common impact in football) I have a astigmatism and the opthomologist told mum I could be blinded by a head trauma because my retinas were stretched more than most. I found out when I was at high school and mum banned me from playing until I could prove to her it was safe. Anyway that's why I know about head trauma in football. I could have it as my special subject on Hard Quiz.

Reminds me of the story Ambrose Palmer, Footscray player and boxer(not to mention coaching Johnny Famechon to a world title), reckoned footy was more dangerous than boxing, citing the time he put his head in a pack and had his cranium squashed like a balloon (suffering sixteen jaw, cheekbone and skull fractures).
That quiz is very hard in the end, but you could do it.

I auditioned (specialist topic, TV show Dad's Army) for this series but didn't get through. One of the lousiest auditions I've been to, bottled water and (two) packets of lollies! I didn't bother trying that hard just in case the show was recorded interstate and they booked us into the salvos or backpackers.

Palmer played again after that injury. Unbelievable effort.

I think Ambrose was in the room during the great bookies robbery too. Vinnie Michelson pointed his gun at him and said "you too Ambrose" when the robbers told everyone to get on the floor.
