[RaisyDaisy]

Out of the game with concussion

Not the first time either

[piesfan1989]

Did anyone see the hit? How big was it?

Didn't look that bad, I think Blicavs got him in a marking contest. He may have hit the ground with his head which never helps

[nostradamus]

Bugger he was one of the few "premo" defenders l had faith in, the mid pricers in defense is where the value is at

[sammy123]

will keep him in looked okay before the hit

Yes but another concussion - that makes 14 that I can find
"April 10, 2015 Herald Sun

GEELONG’S decision to rest concussed star Jimmy Bartel against Fremantle was made after consulting the specialist who conducted 2011 brain scans on the Brownlow Medallist.

Bartel was withdrawn from Geelong’s 25-man squad to take on the Dockers, the Cats unwilling to risk a player concussed at least 11 times in his career.

He had those brain scans in 2011 after two serious concussions including a June incident in which he couldn’t remember his side’s win afterwards."

It must be a worry (SC not withstanding).
Would hate to see it have long term affect on Jimmy
It is one thing to play as tough as he does - could never doubt his courage - but another to keep playing and  cause long term damage - these things accumulate

[Mat0369]

There are two things to remember with this

Bartel has a nasty history with concussions, he even had to go in for brain scans at one point after suffering two in quick succession a couple years back and a real bad one last year.

The other is that they have a week off next week and then play on the Monday so he has as much time as you could hope to recover.

One more serious hit and "duty of care" and all that... it may be not his call
Love to be proven wrong

Still locked in my side

[Mat0369]

Still locked in my side

Still in mine as well, but if he misses round 1 I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole so I need to have a back up option in the rolling lockout.

Birchall would be a pretty good back up
