Wouldn't you be?

Never said anything about struggling with the demands of footy.
Love billy
But would he really know ?
His best mate was tapping his missus and he had no idea (allegedly )
Fair question and you don't see Billy wearing a helmet ..
Or Gary Lyon for that matter.
Mrs Brownless obviously preferred Gary's helmet.
Tee Hee !!

If Gary were to front the MRP
It should be graded as
-Intentional
-high repetitive impact
-lower body

Character reference from the Duck will just make it worse :mrgreen:

For all those tea try this experiment. Wrap something around your head ... say a towel ali barber style ... Then bang your head against. Take off the towel and go bang your head again.
Which hurts more and which does the biggest damage.

Silly experiment ... not really ... Most concussions are coming from hitting the ground. Docklands if so hard it is not far off concrete.
Even a small amount of padding will help.
I do not get the helmets don't help argument.

If they absorb even a poofteenth of the force of impact, then surely that amount of energy does not make it to the brain case, so the brain does not rattle so much. I get that inertia means that the brain is travelling at a certain speed and stopping it against a brain case is not good, but if the stopping speed (and speed equates to force) is lessened by the padding, surely it must reduce the impact a little. It may be that little that saves a concussion

However - having a younger lad play in a helmet - I also get that kids don't like them, and would rather play without.
