Injury/Rehab Concussion and why the AFL need to intervene

[TheGoldenBoy]

Hey guys.

Players of all levels need more education on concussion, and I honestly believe that Stefan Martin should not be playing for the Brisbane Lions this weekend.

there should be a mandatory week off for concussions at a bare minimum

or somehow get their baseline score on the concussion test and depending how far from it they are after the initial test then that's how many weeks they should have off

I thought that was 'the rule'. Happens in local footy.

i don't think it's an actual rule and if it is then it isn't enforced
