News 2025 Injuries, Suspensions, and Concussion Protocols

[Sherman41]

Effing frustrating on Whitfield, of course he had to be playing West coast this weekend in Perth on a double header Friday night. That never happens.

POD in a really important cash league I need to win this weekend.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Sheezel not soft confirmed.

 

[Saints4ever]

When I have Whitfield he’s injured or goes under 100.

Whenever I don’t have him he goes 130+ I can never get that bloke right

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Tore my hammy off the bone on the weekend.
Bit of tape, finalgon, half a tab of nurofen, RIGHT AS RAIN
Went back on and kicked 6 then manned the BBQ after the game.
Soft, mate, these kids are soft

I remember when I got an elbow injury one Sat night.

Had to shelve half a bottle of gin & some oxy tabs.

Stars on verge of possible bans as AFL announces umpire contact crackdown

The AFL has announced a crackdown on players making careless contact with umpires

www.afl.com.au

PLAYERS who are repeat offenders when it comes to careless umpire contact could be suspended under a crackdown announced by the AFL on Tuesday.

As of the start of round 17 on Thursday evening, players who are cited for careless umpire contact four or more times in a two-year period will likely be referred directly to the Tribunal.

(four), St Kilda's Jack Macrae (four) and Carlton's Adam Cerra (three) are among the current players who have been cited three or more times for careless umpire contact in the past two years.

Player records will not be wiped clean, meaning Rowell, Macrae and Cerra risk a suspension should they be charged again this season.

Three pretty SC relevant players there. Would hate for them to miss a game during the SC finals for accidental umpire contact (understand why they're cracking down, however).

I would hate for Cerra, Rowell and Macrae to be rubbed out.

Checks team.
