Farmer is one of the greatest players to ever play the game, playing more than 350 games for East Perth, Geelong and West Perth. He won five WAFL premierships and one for Geelong, as well as three Sandover Medals and 10 best and fairests, and was renowned for his fearless approach to the game. CTE can only be diagnosed after death and the extent of the issue is

unknown in the AFL.

Three former rugby league players have been diagnosed with CTE in the

past.

“I think it is the biggest issue facing the AFL at the moment, given what we are seeing at the moment with players who are retiring,” Melbourne great Garry Lyon said on SEN on Thursday morning. “NFL players are now retiring early – ages 27, 28 – saying, ‘I know I can get $10 or $15million a year, but it’s not worth

it’.”

Concussion has become a major area of concern for the game in recent years, forcing Western Bulldogs premiership hero Liam Picken, West Coast, St Kilda and Western Bulldogs midfielder Koby Stevens and Brisbane and Collingwood defender Jack Frost to retire from the game due to repeated head knocks. Former No. 1 pick Paddy McCartin has stepped away from football in 2020 due to concussions, while North Melbourne tagger Ben Jacobs and Melbourne half-back Kade Kolodjashnij have both missed large chunks of football in recent years due to the issue. CTE is a major problem in America’s biggest sport, the National

Football League.

Payouts from the NFL are expected to exceed $US1 billion with more than 100 detections of CTE from deceased players’ brains.
