West Coast Eagles great Jeremy McGovern retires from AFL after multiple concussions
West Coast Eagles great Jeremy McGovern has played his final game after being urged to retire by the AFL's concussion panel. It was revealed last month that McGovern, who has played 197 AFL games since making his debut in 2014, had been referred to the panel after suffering multiple concussions throughout his career. His most recent came in early May, when he was nudged into a marking contest by Jake Melksham late in the second quarter of the Eagles' round eight loss to Melbourne, causing him to cannon into Demon Harrison Petty. McGovern emerged from the impact dazed, but played on for a few minutes before being subbed out and placed into the league's "concussion protocols", ruling him out for the following game. He has missed West Coast's past six games and was ordered last month to consult the AFL's concussion panel to determine his playing future. A statement on the Eagles website confirmed his retirement on Friday morning. It said McGovern's decision to retire had been made after "extensive consultation with his family, club leaders and medical staff". 'It's been an absolute honour to pull on the West Coast jumper for the past 15 years and it's something that I will forever be grateful for,' McGovern said. 'As much as this isn't the way I would have liked to go out, I respect the decision. 'I'm gutted I don't get to pull the jumper on and run out one more time, but sometimes this is the way the game goes, and I am forever grateful to the West Coast supporters who have also shown me love and respect."
