West Coast midfielder Luke Shuey says the serious spinal injury suffered by a 21-year-old footballer has been another alarming wake-up call to AFL players.East Perth footballer Beau Chatley underwent emergency surgery after suffering serious damage to his neck and spine during a WAFL reserves match on Saturday.There are fears Chatley has suffered permanent spinal injuries after landing on the back of his head following a strong tackle.Chatley was unable to brace himself for impact because the bottom of his jumper got stuck over his head as he was being slung in the tackle.Mitchell Antonio, the West Perth player who laid the tackle, has been referred to the WAFL Tribunal after being charged with careless conduct.Shuey says the games clampdown on head-high tackles and shirtfronts has made Australian Rules Football safer than ever before.But he said the chance of suffering neck and spinal injuries still remained a big concern.Its quite alarming, especially as a player, Shuey said.You dont think about it on game day. But when this stuff happens, it certainly is a wake-up call.I dont know what more the AFL or the football community can do to stop it.We keep bringing in new rules to stop head-high bumping and harsher penalties for head-high bumping. I think the games doing a lot to protect players.But unfortunately, unlucky things like the incident on the weekend, were seeing maybe one or two a year at the moment. So its sad.Chatley is now breathing unassisted after being taken off the respirator on Sunday night.He ate some food on Monday morning for the first time since suffering the injury, and there has also been some slight movement in his right hand.Footscrays Neil Sachse became a quadriplegic after an accidental clash during a game in 1975.Shuey said his thoughts are with Chatley and his family.Its extremely sad. But it gives you a great perspective on things, Shuey said. Joe Kelly Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season.

SEATTLE -- By this point, they might as well consider Seattle and Carolina a divisional game.For the seventh time in five years, the Panthers and Seahawks will meet on Sunday night each with a different sense of urgency heading into the final month of the regular season.Seattle (7-3-1) reverted to its inconsistent form of earlier this season in a loss last week to Tampa Bay that now leaves the Seahawks, while still in complete control of the NFC West, with no room for error in trying to hold off others in the NFC for the No. 2 seed and a coveted first-round bye in the playoffs.The level of urgency is far greater for the defending NFC champion Panthers.After last weeks loss in Oakland , the Panthers (4-7) are three games behind in the NFC South race and 2+ games behind Washington for the final wild-card spot with five games to go.There is time for Carolina, but its running short to avoid joining the list of Super Bowl participants to miss the postseason the following year.Weve lost five games by three points or less. We had opportunities to win football games down the stretch and didnt do it, Carolina coach Ron Rivera said.Those are things that unfortunately we just didnt do. We did it last year and thats probably the hard pill to swallow.Theres also the Super Bowl hangover, something that Rivera acknowledged researching what Seattle coach Pete Carroll did following the back-to-back trips by the Seahawks to the championship game to try and figure out ways to avoid a swoon by his team.I think its got a little bit to do with it. The truth of the matter is if you win the first game, things can be different. Unfortunately we didnt, so we have to battle uphill, Rivera said.Unlike the Panthers, thus far at least, Seattle was able to overcome early troubles following both of its Super Bowl trips to find a way back to the postseason.I think you have to be prepared for it way before you ever get to it, Carroll said.If its the first time you ever talk about it, I think you might not be able to have grounded thoughts and approach to deal with it. Its an enormous impact, win or lose.Thanks to the underperformance by the rest of the division, Seattle is in fine shape to make a fifth straight playoff appearance under Carroll, with a three-game lead in the NFC West over Arizona.The loss last week to Tampa Bay seemed destined from the outset, with the Seahawks down four starters onn defense including safety Earl Thomas, and without starting center Justin Britt the anchor to whats been a shaky offensive line all season.ddddddddddddBut managing just five points -- and only a field goal by the offense -- was a startling reversal back to Seattles offensive problems early in the season when the Seahawks began the season with 12 points in a win over Miami and three points in a loss to Los Angeles.We were just a little bit off. Last week was last week. You can always get better, Seattle QB Russell Wilson said.Heres what else to watch as the past three NFC representatives in the Super Bowl meet:RUNNING DOWNHILL: Stopping the Panthers run game means more than just worrying about the running back.I think theyre the only team in the league that runs a quarterback power, Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said.While many of the Panthers offensive statistics are down from a year ago, they still remain one of the most diverse running attacks in the league with Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert and Newton.And Seattle has seemed more susceptible to the run this season, giving up 100.8 yards per game on the ground and seeing teams stick with the run more than the past. Opponents are averaging 28.4 run attempts per game against Seattle. Last season, it was 22.6.LINES OF CHANGE: Both the offensive lines for Seattle and Carolina are in major flux.The Seahawks are hoping to get Britt back from an ankle injury that sidelined him last week. With Britt out, Seattle struggled with protection and the Bucs sacked Wilson six times. The Seahawks are also making a change at right tackle with Bradley Sowell stepping in to replace Garry Gilliam.Those are minor changes compared to what the Panthers are going through . Centers Ryan Khalil and Gino Gradkowski were placed on injured reserve this week.Tyler Larsen is expected to make his first start at center, but the changes also include Trai Turner expected to start at right tackle for the first time since high school and Chris Scott likely stepping in at guard.PROTECT HOME: The Seahawks are the only unbeaten team at home in the NFL this season. But its been four years -- 2012- since Seattle finished the season 8-0 at home.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys 2019 Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Jerseys NFL China China Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys Online Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
