News 2024 Injuries, Suspensions, and Concussion Protocols

[rocker_oz33]

A calf can take weeks in J Kelly's world and a just a week in J Steele's world.

J Caldwell's world?

Was subbed or not .
Low score vs WC earlier in the year.

Played the week after .

Not sure what world he sits in.

With all these injury news - I’m gun shy, and have to keep Rowell now

He’s a spud, but he’s my un-injured spud!

Even if half of these injuries were true, there will be a few teams with donuts this week

He’s a spud, but he’s my un-injured spud!

Haven't even reached the early season-ending surgeries for teams out of contention phase yet. Definitely hold fire where you can

Excellent advice.

Being a good bloke just doesn't seem to matter these days.

What a ****ing soft suspension that is.

Christ on a bike.

How dare he use both his arms to tackle.

 

[Plugger35]

I dodged a bullet not trading in Phillipou last week and trading in Mannagh instead, I traded in Caldwell the week before though.

Dodge one bullet then cop another.

How dare he use both his arms to tackle.

The AFL may as well just ban tackling the way things are going.

I think he will be fine. No news on Essendon injury list and pure speculation from the Essendon tweeter.

[JuddgementDay]

Does anyone know the extend of McGov injury - he was listed as a test. So touch and go, or more serious injury than first thought?

Save him for next year Horse

Well the boffins at SC HQ should stop giving points for tackling now as that has been outlawed from the game after last night's tribunal results.

It is getting more and more closer to becoming touch football as each week passes.

I agree that Bedford tackle was a great tackle.

 

[iDon]

They must be super worried about the impending lawsuits coming their way or already happening in the background

 

[Scythe]

Gonna copy something I posted elsewhere because CBF coming up with a new, original thought:

Whilst I disagree with the suspensions, I feel like the 'game is ruined, becoming non-contact etc' is being overblown a bit.

There have been (from a rough count) 18 suspensions for tackles this year. In isolation, yep, it's a lot.

Then you consider that there have been 18,508 tackles laid this year, meaning that even with these super-stringent new rules from the AFL, only one in every ~1,000 tackles are resulting in suspensions. There are still obviously many, many ways to approach tackling without landing in hot water.

So yeah, while the suspensions are certainly rough (and at times, definitely incorrectly adjudicated), the whole 'destroying fabric of the game' argument is a bit premature, IMO.

Booo- GAGF Hodor ya big ugly campaigner need Jackson to keep scoring big

I am all for protecting the head but this has gone far too much to the opposite side of the debate.

Maybe Bedford would have been better off doing a cheap snipe on Taranto like Rosas did to Logan Evans on the weekend. Only one game for that incident was laughable. Off the ball hit to a defenceless player and once again the suspension is only based on the injury and not on the incident itself.

I have a side bet that Jackson will be top 6 forwards come season end. hodor back this week hurts but who knows with the big fella what could happen this week

 

[Changa10]

Might as well play under the old fogey super rules rules, where you can't tackle a player to the ground.
