Greg Williams reveals memories of sporting highlights and personal life are fading Greg Williams says he doesn't remember much from Carlton's 1995 premiership. FORMER AFL star Greg Williams' memories of his sporting career and personal life are being erased by a degenerative brain disease. The former Geelong, Sydney and Carlton player is suffering symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which has been detected in athletes with a history of severe concussion and repetitive brain trauma. The 49-year-old says he cannot remember the highlight of his career, the 1995 Blues premiership, despite winning the Norm Smith Medal and kicking five goals. "Obviously I know that I won the premiership in 1995 and things like that, but I don't remember a lot about the game, no I don't," he has told Channel 7's Sunday Night program. I know I started '84 at Geelong, '86 I can remember, all those main dates, and the grand final loss in '93 and won the Brownlow in '94. But the specifics as you say, like the Grand Final after the game in the rooms, I remember nothing about that. The revelations come as Melbourne pulled young midfielder Rohan Bail from contact drills for six weeks after he suffered two concussions during the pre-season. Bail missed four weeks last season after suffering a head knock in Round 9. Williams is one of six former AFL players and one NRL player who have had CTE testing by Deakin University's Alan Pearce. All seven have shown symptoms of permanent brain disease. Researchers are investigating the link between head knocks and CTE, dementia and depression.
