John Barnes - Confronting concussion

from SACKED: AFL · host Herald Sun

A gifted athlete with a tremendous leap, John Barnes landed at Essendon as a talented ruckman during the preseason of 1987. Hailing from Cobram in Victoria, Barnes, colourful and laidback, found it difficult to hold down a regular senior spot under Kevin Sheedy. By the end of 1991, Barnes was shown the door by the Bombers and his AFL career on the scrap heap. A lifeline from Geelong saw Barnes reach his full potential in the big time. In this episode, Barnes takes us inside his complicated relationship with AFL legend Kevin Sheedy, his concussion claim against the AFL and the wizardry behind Gary Ablett SeniorSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
