Will Pucovski - How far will he go?

[Bazal]

Has more ticker than most Vìctards I'll give him that

Is it ticker though or is it just that he literally has so few brain cells left he could play halfback for the Tigers?

 

[gUt]

Yeah nah time to retire and come run the water for the Roosters man

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If he's getting clonked at the state level it's not going to get easier for him.

I think he needs to take a prolonged break, see what he wants to do with himself

Retirement is the only option.

And should have been the only option about 7 concussions ago.

And if old mate won't retire, the Duty of Care is on the relevant selectors to simply stop selecting him.

He is done

Victoria’s Will Pucovski retires hurt after sickening blow in Sheffield Shield match

Not again: Pucovski retires hurt after another sickening head knock in awful scenes

While facing Tigers fast bowler Riley Meredith at Bellerive Oval on Sunday afternoon, Pucovski ducked into a bouncer before dropping his bat and collapsing onto the turf. The 26-year-old was in severe discomfort, retching on the deck as team medics rushed onto the ground.

Like seriously is he trying to get hit on the head? He can't be that good if he constantly is getting hit on the head can he?
Poor bugger needs to give it away if he can't find a way to stop coping it in the head.

Definitely time for the kid to pack it in. He needs to be saved from himself at this rate. Horrendous technique trying to play that, and if he ever plays Test cricket again he'll be targeted mercilessly.

he took his eyes off the ball, probabaly the worst way to play a short ball

He is done now surely..

Suffering symptoms 6 weeks after his last concussion

Decision on Pucovski's future delayed after extended concussion symptoms

Victoria received special extension from Cricket Australia on Pucovski's contract as his playing future is to be decided by a medical panel in coming weeks

www.espncricinfo.com

A decision on Will Pucovski's playing future has been delayed with Victoria receiving a special exemption from Cricket Australia (CA) on his state contract after his assessment with a medical panel was pushed back due to the fact he had suffered extended symptoms from his latest concussion in March.

Cricket Victoria (CV) finally released their contract list on Friday after weeks of delays, which included new signing Josh Brown from Queensland, but Pucovski's name has an asterisk next to it. The 26-year-old came out of contract last season and his playing future is yet to be determined due to his latest concussion.

Victoria has offered Pucovski a contract for 2024-25 but has received an exemption from CA to withhold committing to that contract until after he has been assessed by a joint medical panel which will comprise CV, CA and independent medical experts. The panel is being convened to assess his situation and map out his future due to the alarming number of concussions he has had in his career so far. The assessment with the panel has been delayed because Pucovski was still suffering concussion symptoms six weeks on from his latest hit in March, although those symptoms are understood to have finally eased.

If Pucovski cannot continue playing it is understood there will be significant injury compensation for him and support services available via CV and CA but he will not be formally contracted within Victoria's domestic salary cap.

He needs to put away the hook shot and just duck the short ball.

His brain is basically meat paste now. If there's any duty if care he will be told he's not in state or national plans
