Adelaide Crows midfielder Paul Seedsman becomes the latest AFL player to retire due to ongoing concussion issues, saying he has been advised to 'cease all contact sport'.
He will soon meet with a neurologist to discuss some recommendations from the AFL's independent medical concussion panel.
"You get it once a month for six months and there'll be some sort of rehab clinic that I'll potentially have to go to," he explained. "I knew where I was at, and even if the recommendation was I could still play, I would've been surprised to be honest if they had said I was allowed to return.Seedsman began his AFL journey with Collingwood after being selected with pick 76 in the 2010 national draft, and played 49 games with the Magpies before being traded to Adelaide at the end of the 2015 season.
