EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
Hilarious that Caro thinks Bevo has a toxic relationship with the media and says "Luke is deluded if he thinks we (the media) dictate the narrative."
Insane that she thinks the media don't dictate the narrative, when they want a player suspended, the media put out hit jobs. If they have a message to promote, its everywhere.
Caro is dishonest saying the media don't dictate the narrative. If they think Bevo has to go, hit pieces will follow.
Feels a bit premature, but I'll take it if it turns out to be true...
Posting also for general discussion purposes
How long until we see an extension in the mandatory time off after a player has suffered a concussion?
Should there also be the introduction (if it isn't already part of the policy) that the return to play process doesn't start until the player is free from concussion symptoms - we know some people may be ok the next day, while others may take longer for the symptoms to ease
So does the blanket 12 days off after a concussion need a rethink? Maybe even an addition where the mandatory time off doesn't start until after the player is free from concussion symptoms, and at that stage they work they a serious of steps for returning to exercise, light training, full training and playing etc.
In a non-contact sportBTW, this is from a couple of years ago when Steve Smith was concussed during The Ashes - but it gives an idea of how cricket approaches concussion
The ICC's guidelines for recovery from concussion include a graded return to play, starting with:
If concussion symptoms return at any of these stages, the player should drop back an exercise level. The concussed player requires a formal medical clearance to return to training and play, and never permitted to return on the day of the injury.
- 24 hours relative rest, then
- Light aerobic exercise, then
- Light training, then
- Full training, then
- Player is cleared to compete.

And should the medical clearance be from an independent doctor rather than the club doctor?
The can of worms here feels huge.
We're not good enough at diagnosing them. We're not good enough at measuring the impact. We don't, too my knowledge, have any way to measure recovery.
The only thing I can think of is giving every side 10 more list spots, 4 more bench spots, a month off for the first concussion, 2 months for a second, 4 months for a 3rd etc. Ever that might not be enough.
That footage is a different game vs Hawthorn not SundaysThe Bulldogs need to receive a please explain about how they handled Libba's concussion on weekend, much in the same way that Port received a please explain & subsequently fined for their handling of the Allir Allir concussion last year
The above footage of Libba is from the second quarter and anyone watching on would quite comfortably say that he wasn't right - instead he continued to play & finished with 83% TOG
That screams negligence, especially for a player who was in his return match from a previous concussion
The AFL also needs to revert the sub to being purely a concussion sub, and what they used to do where teams could activate the sub while a player undergoes a concussion test so that teams can actually take the time to review these situations & not be rushed into making calls
It was changed this year to 21 days for all competitions EXCEPT AFL and AFLW.So does the blanket 12 days off after a concussion need a rethink?

I mean I agree with you broadly but I think Caro's response would be that none of this would be happening if the Dogs were winning games. In that sense it is absolutely correct that Beveridge's views are deluded - the heat is on him and the Dogs because his own CEO came out last year and said they thought they had a Top 4 list, and they then missed finals and are on track to do so again.Hilarious that Caro thinks Bevo has a toxic relationship with the media and says "Luke is deluded if he thinks we (the media) dictate the narrative."

He's 30 now? In my head he's still the fresh faced 24 year old kid.Poor Linc - I suspect that this will be his career done.
Honestly, had a decent career, but for a better run with injury could have been exceptional.
The way the jounos would see it the real story isn't this week, the real story is systematic medical mismanagementCheers
Interesting choice to use it then

21 days out: Concussion rules tightened for local footy, VFL clubs
The AFL has made changes to its concussion protocols ahead of the 2024 seasonwww.afl.com.au

Probably because it was one of his worse knocks..?Cheers
