Collingwood’s Josh Carmichael has become the fourth AFL player forced into medical retirement this year. The 24-year-old met with the league’s concussion panel where it was decided he can never play contact sport again, reports 7NEWS chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary. Carmichael last played for the Magpies’ VFL side in May – finishing the game on the sidelines due to another concussion, his third in nine months. He hasn’t been able to train or play since due to concussion symptoms.

The AFL’s independent board in April found Carmichael’s former teammate Nathan Murphy should cease his playing career after a series of head injuries. A meeting with the league’s panel covers a wide-range of topics and can allow the player to continue their career if cleared. Murphy was given the green light to play on after meeting with the panel last year following a concussion in the Magpies’ 2023 premiership.
