Roast Cheating Filthy Power Found Guilty, Fined $100k, Club Facing Financial Ruin

[John Who]

The worst thing about this is that the narrative is now along the lines of, well even an independent umpire could have made the same mistake like it was some kind of innocuous event that if you had blinked you would have missed it. Let's ignore the fact that absolutely anyone else who witnessed the clash was horrified Allir came back on and that's not even to mention the whole "migraine bullshit" they tried to pull afterwards.
It's just ridiculous.

Technically, a migraine straight after a head knock, then it’s still a concussion.

For those worried that it's Thursday and no Pear penalty announced....it's going to take some time for the AFL to sort this out. Possibly a hearing of some kind where Pear gets a chance to defend its actions. Ken and the other w***ers most likely lawyered up.
Doc should have been suspended until further notice.
My 2 cents.

Smells like a late Friday afternoon announcement, with a wet lettuce leaf fine.
An hour later the games will start and everyone will move on and forget about it. Until next time.

Front bar guys getting stuck into Port and the doctor over the incident. Mick said the AFL needs to make the fine massive.

 

[footy4ever]

And yet they still wanted to ensure Jones would be available by saying he was subbed out with migraine not concussion.

Yep. Utter cheating scum.

 

[adelaidecrows]

BUT…
Independent doctors would at least enforce players with such head incidents to go off-field for a HIA. At least judging from all other past head clashes.

I get that. But again, players clearly wont respect that even though its for their own good.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

It’s amazing how the Lachie Jones migraine excuse doesn’t even cop a mention. Should get a fine for just that.

I dont want to hear about a fine..they got a fine before and it obviously didnt teach them a lesson..has to be draft sanctions next year

So a bunch of comedians have more integrity than Stephen Rowe.

Just heard Roo's after game interview with Keane. Didn't understand a word that Keane spoke.

How dare you question the doctor.

Amazing how people not influenced by Port money tell it like it really is.

Mick Malloy the voice of reason

 

[Greenfinger]

So apparently the AFL won’t give trade pick sanctions or premiership points because these types of punishments are only for when a club tries to claim an unfair advantage on the competition. Isn’t putting a player back on without following concussion protocols to try and win a game exactly that ???

Independent doctors shouldn’t make a difference. The Port doctor made a mistake. Independent doctors make mistakes.

You would only advocate for independent doctors if you accepted that ports doctor was influenced by the club.

 

[FR0GGY]

How is evans, aliir and jones, 2 changes?

One of the things it says is “Teammate Lachie Jones underwent a SCAT5 concussion test but was diagnosed with a migraine, with the league ensuring both players were subsequently put in the concussion protocol.”

But Port said it put Jones and Aliir in to the concussion protocols out of an abundance of caution.

Caught out lying again.

Will actually be interested to see if there any head knocks that happen in the Port Geelong game that get tested just because they want to be seen as doing the right thing.

Pretty sure the first article that came out said the afl put them into the concussion protocol.

There is no plausible scenario where the doctor arrives at that decision if he wasn’t under some influence from the club.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

How the f have port dropped evans? Their selection committee must have concussion.

 

[Stepover]

I do wonder sometimes that, because Will and Dave are obvious Crows supporters, the station hierarchy instruct them to go easy on the Power at times. Don’t want to risk alienating a percentage of your listeners. Bottom line is this is all about ratings

5AA has an official sponsored relationship with Port, Crows with Triple M.
