Konrad Marshall's story speaks to scientists, lawyers, administrators and - most of all - former AFL players who are threatening to sue the AFL for memory loss and other cognitive issues they say stem from on-field concussion, and was published in March 2019.

Konrad will then be joined in conversation by Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland, along with Age football writer Peter Ryan – for a discussion about this troubling medico-legal sporting conundrum. Discussion starts at 31:25.
