Time to hang up the boots Tim

Ive become very worried about Tim Mannah and The head concussions he receives every game. I would say he visits the HIA every game this year (I'm sure Ricky can verify this stat).The club Has a duty of care to step in and have a word to him about retiring, his still young and has a young family who no doubt want him healthy for years to come.To say I'm worried is a understatement, infact I'm bloody worried bout his future.

  • He needs to wear headgear.

    His frequent flyer trips to the HIA has affected his confidence.

    • Headgear is mainly used to cover up old cuts that keep getting reopened, it doesn't nullify head concussions.
    • Yeah headgear does nothing for brain impacts. Even gridiron helmets don't help
  • 100% Agree, seeing him get picked up and dumped on the weekend was frightening.

  • I'd much rather leave it up to the medically qualified & Tim himself to make that call rather than some punters from a footy forum.

    • Yeh I felt concerned for him too . I think the headgear is a good idea.
  • I think the game needs to be keeping a tally of head knocks, and there needs to be some sort of process surrounding those players who get repeated head knocks. Nigel Plum was the last player I can remember who seemed to cop as many concussions as Tim, and he gave the game away amidst some memory loss issues (although was cleared after  a proper medical assessment of any long-term issues). I hope Tim is looking after himself and having proper the required level of medical observation.

  • I think he should retire from contact sport asap.

    • Your concern for Timmy is overwhelming Snake...
