Best you take up it with the AFL then..

The AFL has retained its 12-day concussion policy for 2024, but players outside of the elite men's and women's competitions will have to abide by a new 21-day protocol. 6 Mar 2024

 

[Unknown Identity]

We can jump up and down about the free.

Fact is we were still 13 points up after that.
Freo had all the momentum and we looked dog tired, like running in mud.

Hurts blowing a lead like we had but there were far more positives than negatives last night.

These injuries are at a tipping point now though, the bye can't come soon enough.

I'm a Joe Richards fanboi, absolutely flabbergasted how good he has looked.

One touch player that never looks rushed and always finds himself in the right spots.

Words are important. The policy gets labelled by journos as “12 days” but the provision allows players to return on the 12th day after the incident. Which makes it an 11 day break.

Best you clarify the words with the AFL then, because they also use those words.

 

[NMBB]

Even Longmuir says Freo stole the 2pts.

Umpire stole them and gave them to Freo

 

[JLC]

He needs a spell regardless. He's so far out of form it's not funny.

I'm not his biggest advocate but did somebody say Kruuuuuggggeeesssss?

Think jdg has already been ruled out

It's wild that Kreugs is almost the last man standing.

Best you remember it’s an 11 day break. Which is important. It would have enabled Bytel to play last night if he was right. A 12 day break would not.

And I have taken it up with the AFL

I mean their seemed to be a flurry of frees, almost like the umpires were willing Freo over the line.

Frees that are let go during the match are suddenly paid in the closing stages of tight matches. Dubious free kicks can kick start a teams belief and momentum. It's the lack of consistency that people hate.

You can't blame people for being suspicious of umpiring. You would have to be completely naive if you think they don't influence results.

Prefacing by saying was watching on TV, the umpiring decisions in question seemed to be square ups. There was a 50 metre not paid to Fyfe when we gave the ball to someone other than him as opposed that not paid to Maynard. And that goal gifted to Darcy had the hallmark of the one we were gifted earlier in the game.

If there was one bit of sense spoken by hodge was common sense should prevail, before he reverted back to grunts, squeaks and whistles.

As per the AFL :

The minimum 12-day protocol is as the name suggests a minimum number of days a player can return to play if they safely and medically clear the 11 steps in the protocol.

In 2023, when the minimum 12-day protocol operated in both the AFL and AFLW, 29% of AFL players missed more than one match following a concussion and 24% AFLW players missed more than one match following a concussion.

Best you clarify the words with the AFL then, because they also use those words.

Just to clarify the afl use “12 day return to play” as their wording. Which is correct, if a little misleading to those who stop reading at 12 day.

I’ve no doubt he plays next week…concerning soft tissue injuries at his age though.

Fyfe seemed to do something to him to cause it. He remonstrated with him after and Fyfe laughed.

What’s your point? It’s an 11 day break. See Bytel comment.

I thought it was a ridiculous call, but it can be time wasting if the clock is stopped. Most time wasting is about giving players time to set up.

Agreed - which is hardly the case 15m out from goal in a stoppage-heavy passage of play

The point is we've played consecutive 6 day breaks. And 12 days minimum is 12 days in concussion protocols.

It's fairly obvious why players with concussion are missing 2 matches.

 

[Hardas]

Having slept on it, Nicholls can go #%&€%
himself, and probably does.


And the AFL can too - if such a minor matter ends in a free kick, it's a joke of a competition.

 

[memoryofmchale]

Think jdg has already been ruled out

Allan holds his spot.

I can’t be any clearer on this. The provision allows for a return to play on the 12th day. If you refuse to understand that allows for a return on a Friday after a Sunday concussion then you can’t be helped.

[GoBlues!]

Has the AFL explained what the actual written rule Nichols was referring to yet?

I know there’s a rule about putting the ball down or giving it straight back to the umpire at a boundary throw in, but couldn’t see anything about a field ball up situation.

 

[Vankri]

Is that really what he was trying to say? I couldn’t even make sense of his ramblings, it’s like the umps clearly putting us at a disadvantage with terrible decisions against us made his little brain explode.

Good luck with that...

 

[jmac70]

What a surprise

 

[jmac70]

I’m looking forward to the umps paying this free every time in every match…
