Bomber Caddy to Face Hawks After Heart Scare Nate Caddy's heart rate spiked during last Sunday's Essendon GWS match, prompting questions about his health and the pressures of professional sports.
The 21 year old forward was released from hospital and cleared to play against Hawthorn, but concerns remain about the club's handling of his situation.
Interim coach Dean Solomon has reassured fans that Caddy is "good to go," but this statement glosses over a deeper issue: the tendency for sports teams to downplay medical risks in order to field their strongest lineups.
