It was a soft sanction - but the sheer level of embarrassment and scrutiny on the plastic teal franchise this week alone has been immeasurable. 
Even the Vic media has turned on them after usually ignoring them due to irrelevancy.

Im actually worried Port is in the middle of an 8 game losing streak, losing the EF and Ken will get the sack
Wrong
Just determinedly ignorant on what the protocol says
It is a you must do this situation, not a what do you think moment
That’s not a mistake unless you were unfamiliar with what the rules said
And someone can be influenced by themselves and the situation; not necessarily others. People get caught up all the time. But it was not an error of judgement because no judgement was allowed for

It's glorious that Port have left this to August as it will now be a distraction that could derail their season.Im actually worried Port is in the middle of an 8 game losing streak, losing the EF and Ken will get the sack
Perhaps it's been on Kenny's mind the past few weeks... as his cheerleading on the boundary hasn't quite been up to his usual standard.
He didn't even notice 2 of his players were knocked out cold.

I think it has either been explicitly stated or implied to the medical team that if they think they might get away with sending a player back out they should try.

Happy with the fine, loss of points might have been over the top, however I don’t understand how there isn’t specific sanctions on the doctor/Hinkley.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
What’s more plausible, that a professional sporting club might try and bend the rules to win an important game, or that a doctor of 20+ years accidentally forgets to apply the most basic of protocols?

I thought port might have tried the old..'the doctor just happened to be in the rooms taking a wizz when it all happened so it was just bad luck / timing or whatever'
Story in the advertiser saying Schulz was concussed over 20 times in his career but played the next week. Yikes !

Wrong. All port have been sanctioned with is making a mistake. All your other words are just hot air.
From Hinkley's flippant comments earlier in and Chris Davies comments today, they clearly don't know what the protocol dictates or want to blurr the lines and confuse people.
With CD today, he said the doctor is the only person that can make decisions around the protocol. This is patently false.
1)The protocols say coaches and officials must be familiar with the match day procedures.
2)The Dr is the one who guides a player through the 11 step process over a minimum of 12 days and assesses how they are moving through.
3)In the case of possible concussion the scat5 is used to rule out a player.... A passed test is not automatic play on, if any symptoms emerge then they enter concussion protocols.
4)A passed scat5 does not rule a player free to play if there is a clear case of concussion.
Rucci on SEN was trying to sat pass scat5 = no concussion.
They either don't know the protocols or blatantly lying.

Publically. I bet they have had a proper dressing down behind the scenes. They have exposed that the AFL has failed in its duty of care by handing a conflict of interest to club docs. Independent Drs are required at every match.
If they AFL push too hard, Port could push back too.

I was gonna say, it wouldn't surprise me if it's just a case of the Doc is an old schooler who thinks unless you're completely unconscious then you're fine to get back up and keep playing if you can.
He has bought into the 'creed' like the rest of them. They start the brainwashing when they arrive at the club about how much they hate the Crows and they they will do whatever it takes to beat us. In this instance he was happy to ignore the concussion protocols to try and help his team get the win.

Isn’t he rusted on from the Magpie days pre Power - and has been there all the way through. I think you have nailed it - he is old school Port when you just get up and get back out there. Disagrees with how “precious” the protocols have become - and has never been challenged on doing the same thing multiple times before

I just wanted to thank you for using "biased", "bias" and "biases" all correctly! That word seems to trip people up, and I'm becoming a grumpy old bastard about it.

****. That bloke seemed to get knocked out every second week.
Had a head made of glass.
Cornes saying Dr was using his 40 years experience and saying his decision was justified because of passed tests.
Surely, this is a protection racket. Protocol written by concussion specialists surely over-rides 40 years experience from non-experts in concussion. Isn't this exactly why concussion protocols exist? To protect players from 40 years experience of non-experts in the field.....
A passed scat5 does not necessarily indicate concussion hasn't happened. It's just 1 tool.

It’s actually incredible that a long term Port supporter is a doctor and the current Premier is also part of the walking dead - what is the world coming to??
