The hard nuts in those days took no prisoners

Collingwood will finally get some players back with Scott Pendlebury, Brody Mihocek and Oleg Markov all available for the trip to the Gold Coast. De Goey and Richards could both be available for selection, while Category B rookie Parker has undergone knee surgery and will miss at least the next month. – Josh Gabelich

The game is faster nowadays and the grounds are also harder and so heads that hit it faster leads to more concussion. Also AFL now is super conscious of brain disease caused by concussion whereas this was not known in the 80s and 90s to the same extent.
