Fitzroy greats and the Brisbane Lions have rallied around Jason Baldwin after the 54-year-old overcame a one per cent chance of survival from a massive heart attack. The 127-gamer, whose AFL career finished with a one-year stint at Richmond, suffered the health emergency in June. Baldwin’s wife Vicki and their children Abbey and Sam received the “devastating news” that he was unlikely to survive after he was moved from Austin Hospital to The Alfred.

Baldwin collapsed the day after Abbey’s 21st birthday, and it was the nursing student herself who first performed CPR before paramedics arrived. “They worked for something like 50 minutes,” Baldwin told News Corp last month. “They say normally 40 minutes of CPR is maximum without having some sort of brain function issues. Somehow all my CT scans and MRIs have come out normal.
