Classy work.

Just shows that footy becomes secondary when there is a genuine health concern, was good to see…

It's a non negotiable when an interstate team is involved due to travel and not knowing all the local hospitals and maybe not having the full support team you have at home.

Same should apply to teams visiting us in Melbourne.

This sort of assistance under the circumstances should be a given. I would hope every team's medical personell would respond in the same way.

Good sportsmanship and great to see. Well done.

At the end of the day they're all young men playing sport. Would hate to think if there was ever a serious injury on the field of play that ANY medico would hesitate to lend assistance. Was good to see though.

Was a reminder that it's just a game out there, and that there's more important things in life than winning a game of footy. When your long term health is put in jeopardy suddenly, whether you have won or lost becomes ridiculously irrelevant. Seeing BJ in that neck brace made you realise that a life in a wheel chair is a real possibility if you're hit the wrong way playing footy.

Yes, marvellous work by all the medical people and the medical support staff from both teams.
