Paddy Update
Any news on Paddy? Would love to hear he is okay and out of hospital. Concussion is bad but 'neck stuff' is potentially worse.
If anyone has any info let us know.

Re: Paddy Update
Fingers firmly crossed for the boy. Ugh, two sickening injuries and being on the wrong end of a rout at the same time is always a bitter pill to swallow.

Re: Paddy Update
Good to hear. Still may miss a week, as he did after his concussion against Collingwood.

Re: Paddy Update
The mark he almost took seconds before he was knocked out would have been amazing. He's so exciting. Don't think we will see him till well after the bye unfortunately.
Hopefully he'll be smashing packs and opponents down the track and not hurting himself with his courage.

Re: Paddy Update
Glad he is okay, disappointed he may miss a couple. Maybe some whiplash in with the concussion.

Re: Paddy Update
Yep. I want us to be conservative. Super conservative. If he needs a month before he pulls on the boots again, let it be a month. But whatever happens I will be concerned if he fronts up next week, and would much rather he get the next two off regardless.PremiershipSaint wrote:Good thing we play Carlton twice this year.bigcarl wrote:He may not.

He showed some fantastic signs again this week on an otherwise dog day afternoon. Get Lindsay to truck him back in cotton wool.
Always loyal

Re: Paddy Update
I agree with Paddy- Jamie cripps copes and gets no questions so why does Paddy who has dealt with it longer than Jamie

Re: Paddy Update
Any recent update of Paddy's health?
I'm a tad concerned with his two concussions, and his fearless approach to the contest. Nick Riewoldt is fearless and runs back with the flight, but he manages to stay healthy. Justin Kositchie was brave and reckless, but I reckon he copped too many head injuries.
Tony Lockett was brave, but incredibly strong and he caused too many injuries.
Gee I hope Paddy is more like Plugger!

Re: Paddy Update
Agree but I mean in terms of concussion, not talent wise .... Kossi was never the same after the Geonserakusa? (whatever the Bulldogs player who charged him was). Paddy Seems to have much more spa in awareness than Kossi ever did , so hopefully it stays that way. Paddy appears to have more footy smarts than Kossi did, and seems just as brave. Think Paddy will be a ripper,saintspremiers wrote:Id be delighted if Paddy was as good as Kosi was!

Re: Paddy Update
Personally I think that Kosi suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) rather than just concussion in that incident with Gia. He was never the same after that hit.supersaints wrote:

Re: Paddy Update
Interesting to see that Kreuzer will play despite suffering a concussion last week. I think he failed the intelligence test ... before he was concussed.
But maybe Paddy should consider some protective headgear. Could save him s lot of time on the sidelines

Re: Paddy Update
For concussion these days many believe that sports type helmets can make concussion worse rather lessening it. (Not to be confused with wearing cycling/ motorcycle helmets which are worn to protect against fractures etc)bigcarl wrote:Interesting to see that Kreuzer will play despite suffering a concussion last week.

Helmets are for AFL of more use for things like fractured cheekbone protection and the like.
