That head clash was back in my mind yesterday, as I was at the MCG with a Richmond mate watching the game. He mentioned that Hyde has never been the same player since the clash with Goose. In fact, he did a couple of things yesterday that we less than 'committed', shall we say.
I wondered out loud whether in fact Goose has been the same player since either the head clash or his broken leg. I guess the broken leg is a given since he has never really recovered, but how long did he take to recover from the concussion?

Re: Chris Hyde v Matt Maguire
i know that goose played the next week, and, after looking up on finalsiren.com and we played collingwood and he got 15 posessions (which was 2 less than the 17 he got against richmond).SENsaintsational wrote:That head clash was back in my mind yesterday, as I was at the MCG with a Richmond mate watching the game.

it makes sense that hyde may not be playing the same way since because it was a sickening clash and, from memory, he suffered a more serious injury that goose and didn't play the next week. not sure if it would still be affecting him now but- though i am pretty sure he has had at least one other concussion since.

Very true.Russel Morris was never the same after The Real Thing.
I thought it was a good intro to Seven's footy coverage last year. Better than this year's. But Stand Tough was the best.

there was a bit of play on saturday (carlton vs tigers) were he was chasing simpson i think, and big clokey was about to shepard. however hyde instead of dodging the shepard or bumping cloke, he just completely stopped. showed a lack of courage, bad to see
