Former football players are seeking up to $1bn in compensation in a landmark class action lodged in Victoria against the AFL for the serious damage concussion has allegedly caused them.

The action, lodged by Margalit Injury Lawyers in the supreme court of Victoria, is on behalf of all professional AFL players who sustained concussion-related injuries through head strikes while playing or training between 1985 and 14 March this year.

The lead plaintiff is Jarad Maxwell Rooke, better known as Max Rooke.

The dual premiership player was employed by the Geelong Football Club between 2001 and October 2010, and played 135 games during that time.

The class action alleges Rooke sustained permanent and life-altering injuries as a result of concussion-related injuries and because of the AFL’s negligence.

More than 60 former players have come forward to join the class action.

They are seeking compensation for pain and suffering, economic loss and medical expenses, Margalit Injury Lawyers said.

“The injuries suffered by this group of former AFL players, as a direct result of the concussions sustained while playing Aussie rules, has had a devastating impact on their lives and the lives of their loved ones,’’ the managing principal Michel Margalit said.

“Some of the players who have joined this landmark class action have never been able to hold down a job after leaving the AFL.

“Their personal lives have been shattered and they live with constant physical and mental pain. It’s heart-breaking and they need to be adequately cared for.

Margalit said the firm was seeking about $2m a player plus medical expenses – and more players could join.

“The whole class action could cost the AFL close to $1bn,” she said.

PLEASE DONATE AND SHARE, HELP ME GET INSULIN INJECTION (HUMALOG)

I hope everyone can donate and share my story

I'm Vallary Alfaat, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, a condition that demanded a precise balance of insulin a precious commodity in my war-torn homeland of Gaza.

I find myself in a relentless struggle to secure the insulin vital for my survival. With medical resources scarce and hospitals overwhelmed, obtaining medication became a daily battle fraught with peril.

My condition worsened when the bombs drew perilously close to my home, and my insulin supply dwindled to nothing. With pharmacies shuttered and aid unable to penetrate our besieged area, I confronted a dire predicament. Without insulin, my blood sugar levels surged, threatening to plunge me into a coma.

I ask for your support, your assistance could mean the difference between life and death for me. Please, help me obtain the insulin I so desperately need.

MY GOAL $197/$360

This isn't 2016 (thankfully) and this is not Brocedes.

This is not Multi-21 and this is not Seb and Mark.

The constructors is one of two championships that are up for grabs this season. Mclaren have consistently fucked themselves over for the constructors. The drivers are allowed to race each other for the driver's championship. They admitted it over radio.

Do I think today was messy? Yeah, for sure. Do I think the hate on either Lando or Oscar is warranted?

NO!

Some of you see these drivers as children needed to be protected from the big bad monsters under the bed and in the closets.

They are MEN. MEN. They are MEN WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

These are not your cute little friends you see on tv on Sundays and then in person on Monday. You don't know them personally.

You can be annoyed at a decision made, I know I am baffled by Mclaren's inconsistency between words and actions.

What a person should not do is send death threats, say that one driver deserves something more than another, and believe that it is ok to wish harm to someone.

If you're championing mental health in one post and bashing in the next, then you need to pull back and look at what you're championing a little more in depth.

Go touch some fucking grass.
