Daniel Bell Biography

Former Melbourne defender Daniel Bell has called for AFL clubs to provide brain training for players who suffer concussions after being the victim of several head clashes throughout his career.

"I think it will become mandatory that you have to do a certain amount of brain training ... I think it needs to be done," Bell said.

"I'm sort of happy this has come out so that hopefully other guys who have suffered concussion or people who want to improve their decision making, this program could be the way of the future."

Melbourne players Liam Jurrah and Daniel Bell will have scans on Sunday to determine the extent of shoulder injuries sustained in a NAB Challenge match against Adelaide in Elizabeth.

Jurrah dislocated a shoulder when going to ground while dislocated an AC joint in a collision with an Adelaide player.

Melbourne will be without the services of Daniel Bell and Addam Maric for the rest of the year.

Bell suffered a dislocated left AC-joint against Port Adelaide last Sunday and underwent surgery on Tuesday to relocate and stabilise it.

Maric too has already undergone surgery to reconstruct his left shoulder after injuring it while playing for the Casey Scorpions in the VFL.
