Retired Crow Scott Stevens 'all good' despite series of concussions Scott Stevens at Adelaide Crows training in 2011 shortly before he retired. SERIAL concussion victim Scott Stevens has declared he is "all good" and has no significant health problems. As former AFL players reveal their mental health struggles following football concussions, ex-Crow Stevens - forced out of the game at 29 because of a series of head knocks - said he is "feeling fine" and is not suffering any serious side-effects of a career which ended prematurely. "I'm all good, there's nothing (bad) to report," said the notoriously media-shy Stevens, who retired part way through the 2011 season after three concussions in a year. While Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson yesterday warned the AFL to "take a conservative approach" with concussions, Stevens told The Advertiser he is not yet interested in joining the debate about how the league should best handle its concussion controversy. "I'm sorry but I've made my decision not to talk (in depth) about it and I'm happy with that," said Stevens, who is living in Perth with his wife Anna and young daughter Hayley. But I'm feeling fine, which is good. Stevens - who is in his third year out of the game - is one of the highest profile victims of AFL concussions. Scott Stevens takes a break from a 2011 training session and chats with Adelaide Crows football operations manager Phil Harper. He retired after 144 games after being knocked out for one last time against Fremantle in round three, 2011. He revealed at his retirement press conference that he had suffered months of "headaches, nausea, vomiting and vision problems." "They were 24/7 and I basically had to stay at home, I couldn't read and I struggled to watch television," Stevens said. It was not great. It was expected Stevens would join former Demon Daniel Bell in seeking a compensation claim against the AFL because of the shocking toll the heavy knocks took on his 195cm frame. This is still not out of the question. They (headaches) were 24/7 and I basically had to stay at home, I couldn't read and I struggled to watch television But one of Stevens' best mates and former Crows defensive team-mate Nathan Bassett last night confirmed Stevens was in good health and not just playing a straight bat to questions. "He's fine," said Bassett, who coached SANFL club Norwood to last year's premiership. I caught up with him at (former Crows ruckman) Matthew Clarke's wedding in Adelaide (in January) and he's in good health, he looks really good. I don't think he is experiencing any after-effects at all, which is surprising considering the amount of heavy knocks he took. Bassett said Stevens is working in the human resources department for a shipping company in WA and keeps fit by running and cycling. Adelaide list manager David Noble said the Crows kept in contact with Stevens to monitor his health. "Part of our role, along with the AFL Players Association, is to have an exit policy and make sure players who leave the game are going okay with their lives after football," Noble said. Clearly Scotty had some (health) issues so we do monitor his situation by talking to him and his family and friends about him. Scott says he is well and all the reports are good, which is terrific, but we will continue to stay in touch to make sure he is okay.
