Post-footy life laid bare after Adam Hunter's CTE findings

When former West Coast Eagle Adam Hunter passed away his family made the decision to donate his brain to the Australian Sports Brain Bank, and the results show he suffered from CTE. His family think a lot of that damage may have come after his AFL career, when he was playing local footy and being targeted on-field. Plus it's a finals shaping weekend in the NRL so we talk resting and the run home. Featured: Bridget McArthur, ABC Reporter. Zac Bailey, Channel 9. Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter
