How's Reidy gone the past couple of years?Reid Brandt confirmed exit doesn’t help either
28 day break? Is that realistic propositionWith the potential for a 28 day break for concussions could we see far more severe tribunal penalties.
He said himself he’d potentially play again now his leg has healed.B. Harvey back???? Pub rumour.
Well the AFL is seriously considering it28 day break? Is that realistic proposition
We would miraculously have a concussion free year I reckon28 day break? Is that realistic proposition

And who is going to report theses incidents? You think clubs or players are going to report a potential concussion and risk a player missing 4 weeks?Not really, it's easy for NFNL to implement a MRP for all incidents and then demand a MD certificate prior to player being allowed to play.
Watch that happen. They will say they have a duty of care to do this and probably do but no doubt as long as they can fine clubs somehow, it's a laydown.
Cant wait for the leagues response when the first one comes about.And who is going to report theses incidents? You think clubs or players are going to report a potential concussion and risk a player missing 4 weeks?
Nearly impossible to implement when you don’t have independent doctors and people reviewing every game for incidents.

I don't care what any rule is as long as it can be policed by independent professionals, unlike the salary cap which just punishes the few honest clubsNot sure how it will all work, but if anyone knows I'd love to be educated on any process or suggested one>
IF a process is followed something like:
Surely this is in the best interests of players, clubs and the NFNL if the health and well being of everyone is supported by a clear, simple and professional process?
- Trainers/club doctor suspects a concussion - then clubs should support that player not playing rest of game.
- Concussion is reported after game and player is directed to a specialist for assessment - ie: Alphington Sports Center. And maybe some sort of subsidised process can be supported by AFL Vic or the competitions?
- IF assessment is all clear - then they report that to NFNL and player clear to play following week.
- IF player not cleared then player to be ineligible for an agreed to timeline. I'm not sure if this should be
- a) one size fits all timeline or
- b) recommendation from the professional who did/does the assessment. Maybe option two.
- Player required to get sign off - before resuming.
I know this may sound a bit 'soft' or 'woke' or anything else you want to call it, but looking after young people, especially now we have more information, should be something we ALL work towards - collectively.
As an ex-coach I'd be gutted if I found out I tried to hide a concussion and then a young fella/girl got seriously hurt again with some sort of injury that could have been avoided with better club/player care at the time.
Yes I did play in the 80's and 90's and maybe I copped too many to the head and this is why I think it's important to take a step back and just work through a safe and simple plan that protects all involved.
Chump.
You would virtually have to employ someone just for that and it would have to be someone qualified. You can't have any joe blow go through the footage and guess if there is a concussion.I reckon that's where they will end up. They will review every match and demand Dr certificate from every player that looked to take a hard knock.
Not saying I agree with it and in the end that can only be done for games recorded so that leaves the ones they are trying to protect (U18 and below kids) not being looked at but at least they can say they are trying.

Your talking 40 odd hours off footage from 3 divisions.
100% it’s long term brain damage, which it’s been for 100 years. I understand both sides. Local footy is a little different, in that we don’t have the resources higher comps have.We are also talking about long term brain damage.
Mate I am not saying I have the answer at all, I am saying there are smarter people than me right now sitting down with doctors and specialists, and they will come up with a plan. It will not be popular but unless you live under a rock and do not read what is happening in the news this is not going away as its inconvenient.
Not a snowflakes chance in hell the league will do that!!! It would cost them money and also make them responsible.I reckon that's where they will end up. They will review every match and demand Dr certificate from every player that looked to take a hard knock.

Then it will be a total rort like the salary cap. Never create rules you can't policeNot a snowflakes chance in hell the league will do that!!! It would cost them money and also make them responsible.
They will leave it all to the clubs to enforce and only step in if they have to.
No current season stats available
Confirmed now? What about White and Doherty, are they all moving on?Reid Brandt confirmed exit doesn’t help either
It’s actually quite staggering.I feel stupid even talking about this because the whole list is all over the shop… But Majak Daw would be in the top 3 in D1 not 9th…
I dont/didnt even know who he was, but as a side note - had you seen those facilities and grounds beforehand? terrible. Does he support Banyule, Heidelberg, Bellfield, Ivanhoe IJFC, etc .....who have all had works of some type done or getting done for their footy and/or cricket clubs?Off topic but something that’s annoyed me for quite some time, local member Anthony Carbines, and the correlation between upgrade works for the club he vocally supports (Macleod), its co-tenant Rosanna CC and its junior club-
1. De Winton Surface + pavillion upgrade
2. De Winton nets upgraded
3. Macleod Junior FC has been demolished with plans to build a brand new state of the art facility.
It’s not the NFNL enforcing it. They will just go with AFL Vic policy and make Clubs enforce it.Then it will be a total rort like the salary cap. Never create rules you can't police
