\u201cI\u2019ve been listening to you, the little agitator\u2019s been agitating again,\u201d Leigh told Rowey on Wednesday.<\/h3>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a fair debate. But I\u2019m on the other side of it. I think it\u2019s reasonable that we try and make the game safer. What we know about concussion and its effects is so different in the last decade. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s altered the game though.<\/h3>\n
\u201cWhen I watch a game of footy I just see these monstrous blokes going a hundred miles an hour from all different directions and they\u2019re just running into each other accidentally and incidentally — that just makes the game, I think, really dangerous.<\/h3>\n
\u201cI think the game is more brutal, more physical and more dangerous than it\u2019s ever been. The deliberate rough stuff has largely been officiated out of it. The bump used to be completely legal but its different now. Tackling is almost the last bastion\u2026<\/h3>\n
\u201cYou can tackle hard, but just make sure you don\u2019t bump the head in the ground. I think that\u2019s reasonable.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
By the time Leigh was done it almost sounded like Rowey had been talked around…<\/p>\n
ROWEY: \u201cIt hurts when you say it. I\u2019m going to get with the program or I\u2019m out of a job.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
