Should the AFL's concussion rule be extended from 12 days to 30 days? - Peter Jess
Raw - Heart & Soul
This conversation brings up a lot for discussion in terms of not just current and retired players of the AFL but society as a whole and how head trauma can be the catalyst of the downward spiral in mental health. Peter and I also discuss how head trauma might affect children as young as 6 years of age, who are playing impact sports that result in head trauma. All of these have wide implications how we look at and treat mental health and often the extension of that, domestic violence. To say this is an important conversation is a gross understatement. In this episode we discuss: · Neurological impairment as a result of brain trauma · The four pillars by which we measure brain impairment · The concussion rule in the AFL · Women playing AFL · Children and brain trauma As a parent and grandparent, and an avid supporter of AFL this conversation has left me questioning if I have truly evaluated the risk versus rewards of contact sport. And as Peter says, are we treating the brain with the respect we should, when we have three weeks off with a hamstring injury and just 12 days for a brain injury?
