Injury SACK DOCTORS 1 - CTE

[TazD]

Have they lopped off Kochies nose yet?

 

[Del165198]

What a ning nong.

The point is that it being a club doctor introduces a conflict of interest that an independent doctor doesn't have.

 

[Mattrox]

What an absolute load of horse . That is a bad call and fans of all clubs should be outraged. The same argument is made all the time about umpires, that subconscious biases are causing bad calls then they say "How dare you question our unbiased umpire".... They (decision makers) can't gaslight us one way for the independence of umpires then gaslight us the other about Drs.

There is too much preasure to win games on the clubs. Club based staff making calls to sub out players places an unfair burden. Should 100% be independent.

 

[MrPlow]

No absolutely not, definitely should come off when concussed.

More just pointing out in the Sam Mayes situation highlighted by his girlfriend that his concussion effects were a result of normal play in a game he voluntarily chose to participate in for money.

I wouldn't recommend anyone play AFL if their health is a no. 1 priority.

We are actually in agreement then

Kane Cornes on concussion v Kane Cornes on concussion at Port

Wonder if the situation would have been the same if we were ten goals up and playing North this week

That's the 64 thousand dollar question. And we (fans) shouldn't have to ask that of our clubs.

And someone needs to tell Rucci stop the line "a scat5 clears you of concussion". His sycophantic line is misleading the supporters who listen to him. It either is demonstrating a clear misunderstanding of the protocol or is being deliberately mischievous and speading misinformation.

Ken Hinkley press conference post Showdown "I am very very comfortable with the doctor's decision".

 

[Waspy79]

Haha, there’s always one.

100k, 50k to be included in the footy department soft cap.

Power cops huge fine over concussion protocols error

The AFL has handed Port Adelaide a massive fine for its handling of a head clash between Aliir Aliir and Lachie Jones

Glad we didn’t lose draft picks!

 

[Wargreymon90]

Lol draft picks and points are for cheating. We didn’t do that.

The victims are the individual players, not the competition. The competition shouldn’t benefit from this **** up

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Nah - don’t loose draft picks for incompetence and a b grade coaching/fitness crew.

Draft pick sanctions are given for clubs that try and cheat - like the crows.

 

[Del165198]

How have we not sacked the doctor yet? Is this club allergic to sackings?

True but you can just never trust the AFL with their inconsistent rulings.

 

[TeeKray]

Great job guys. Hope everyone remembers this next time these losers come crawling to the members begging for cash to put towards their massive debt.

 

[Alberton Proud]

$50k out of soft cap
So someone minor like a physio loses their job

Nice work Ports

 

[JimmyBC]

50k is low enough out of the soft cap that a few could take a very minor haircut & keep the band together? yay ugh

With the soft cap you get taxed a dollar for every dollar you spend over it and that money gets redistributed.

 

[Capital Power]

So even less money to spend on quality replacements for those that need to not be renewed .

We can fix the soft cap by getting rid of the biggest drain on it which is Ken Hinkley.

100,000 fine. Prob footy wise could have been draft picks. Hope the whole footy industry takes note. Guilty as a club and v disappointing.
