What's the concussion protocols - 2 weeks out, 20% of the season?

10 days? So could be three games if you’re unlucky

Changed from 12 days (what it's been) to 21 days in pre season for all local football

Before the collision she looked very poised, kicking could use some tidying up but other than she was really good.

Hopefully she's OK and breezes through the concussion protocols

 

[Vindicater]

Losing her and Toogood was too much.

I thought the changes were related to costs of care or something, local clubs don’t have the resources to be sure a player is okay to play after 12 days so they wait longer just to be sure.

Not sure where that leaves AFLW, which surely must be resourced at an AFL standard in terms of medical insurance and healthcare for the players.

The way the VAFA explained it at their conference was that it was due to updated medical research.

Any updates on how Amber's travelling? She got absolutely ironed out.

 

[Maddogm]

“Amber has entered concussion protocols and is recovering well. She was up and talking after being stretchered off and was further assessed in hospital Saturday night to clear any concerns of further damage. Amber's symptoms will be monitored closely, which will determine her return to play.”
