I just hate seeing this on a footy field. I hope he is OK. Game was stopped for eight minutes.

GWS: Sam is conscious after being taken from the field. He’ll be assessed in the rooms before being taken to hospital for further monitoring.

Woah...we all just know this is still just brewing... right..... The single biggest issue confronting all contact sports going forward.
At what point will the industry defense be 'hey we accept kids born prior to say 2024 would be covered by any potential class action or forward planning special retirement fund for players.. However at some point anyone continuing to choose a contact sport does so manifestly aware of the inherent risks...
Surely that is going to be at least part of the seismic changes that eventually will smash into the game...in the not too distant future.

Am I being way to melodramatic and 'catasrophising'?.. I vacillate on this issue all the time.

Nope-I think you?re right. Rule changes will make game nothing like it is now.
