Just left me feeling numb...

Wasn't aware of his story. Bloody hell

Will check out the interview.

Me either, just read a Fox Sports article about it and watched the brief 1:20 of it.. gut wrenching stuff, words cant even explain!

I wasn’t aware of this either so I read the article and watched the brief snippet of the interview as well.
Absolute tragedy.

Just watched the Merv Keane episode, wow, so very sad, but how strong is he....geez

Justin Madden was on tonight, not bad.

He's a character but I found him a bit annoying, Michael!!

Agree. He was a pain in the arse.

Yeah I didn't get to the finish of it, saw the goal against the Crows at Waverley - thats all I wanted to see as I was behind the goals that day and will never forget it.

Shows us how much the game has changed, enough space for even uncoordinated giraffes to have a run

Coming soon to an Open Mike episode near you, transgender footballer Hannah Mouncey.

Shaun Smith last night was one of the better ones from this year, his story about concussion was an interesting yet scray one.

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. I will not be watching it.

Ya reckon, I jumped on it about 10 minutes in and thought it was quite boring, I missed the initial bits about the concussions but he generally seemed that he was made of chalk.

A pretty poor record for a sit at home key forward for that era, had a great leap but he was a one trick pony.

I mean interesting in terms of what can happen post career due to concussion. Seemed like a guy who threw himself around alot on the field getting himself in various accidents.

Yeah, I guess I missed the climax of the episode, probably could've wrapped it up in 10 minutes as the rest of what I watched was just lips moving and words coming out.

I'm gathering that Plugger may have cleaned him up with the liver injury.

I dunno, maybe the most controversial footballer in Australia at the moment, so I will be interested

I think it should be reserved for retired AFL players, this one should be exclusive to A current affair or other poop like that.

It will make interesting viewing, moreso as I'd like to hear Hannah's reasoning on why he/she thinks they should be allowed to play, I think there should be a transgender comp now or a gender neutral thing or whatever some like to class themselves as.

What about blokes who never played in the AFL but are of an age that their stories are worth expolring, like Stephen Michael, Barrie Robran, Rick Davies or Peter Carey.

If I wanted to listen to someone with a deep voice, adams apple and a mullet I'd watch Outback Truckers

Yes, I should've extended my range, back in their day the level they played was equivalent to todays AFL to some degree, VFL, SANFL & WAFL were all elite levels prior to AFL.

Surely there isn't a call for that, not yet anyway?

As for Mouncey I'm on Chris Judd's side of the debate. Transgender man > woman has a decided physical advantage over women they would compete against, especially in a contact sport.
