Ask the likes of Johnny Platten what he thinks...can't fault the AFL for protecting the head at all costs now we know what the damage is long term.

I know you all hate Collingwood with a passion and that's fine.
But some of your comments....like tried to kill him are ******* ridiculous.
I've acknowledged what he did by today's standards is wrong.
However, the player must expect contact in that situation and to avoid getting killed, protect himself.
Now, it wouldn't matter if a port bloke lined up a Collingwood bloke in the exact same situation, id still say the same thing.
Protect yourself at all times. He saw him coming, turn your body while giving the handball.
I've no idea how players survived in the 70's and 80's.
Oh wait yeah I do, they were taught to protect themselves in a 50/50 contest.

Plenty of guys knocked out in thr 70/80s. They just had to deal with it and get up and play the next week.
Obviously we know so much more about head injuries now and rhe effect on thr 70/80/90s are coming through.

All I'm saying is this wouldn't be an issue if the bloke protected himself.
Seems to be a lost skill.

Not many protect themselves after they have disposed of the ball as usually the danger has subsided

Not that I wish injury or hurt on anyone, but I will laugh if a Collingwobble player gets knocked out because 'he didn't protect himself'.

A few of Abletts biggest hits was when we he would pick the ball up, dispose of it with a handball and then immediately raise his elbow. The amount of would be tacklers/bumpers who were an elbow to the face was surprisingly high.
Ablett for all his talent was a bit of a thug for sure and high elbow merchant.
