If/ when that happens watch the AFL be re-active as usual and give grand final teams a week off after the prelims.Not sure I’m convinced with the mandatory 12 day concussion break.
Someone gets hit in a prelim, no later symptoms and misses a potential once in a life time chance at a flag.

It's when the finals bye should be anyway get the GF teams cherry ripe for the biggest game of the year. Not a week off before finals start.
Too right, we don’t have enough public hiolidays in Victoria, bring back Easter Tuesday and Show Day whilst they’re at it

Yet he/she has an evidence based opportunity later in life. Player would want to play, CTE doesn’t care though.Not sure I’m convinced with the mandatory 12 day concussion break.

The math adds up. 6 weeks for he & Martin last week.
It would be nice if the club could provide a little info about Charlie. I don't need an elaborate report, but just a little 'yep he's travelling like expected' would be cool.
Liddle pretty much said that on Sunday on 3AW, along with the 'in the coming weeks' comment about Cripps' contract.It would be nice if the club could provide a little info about Charlie. I don't need an elaborate report, but just a little 'yep he's travelling like expected' would be cool.
I'd love it if they were setting my work contract. 6 weeks leave with extensions.I hope we’re talking about a customary “6 weeks” and not a Carlton “6 weeks” (I.e. 8-12 weeks)
That gets rolled out regularly. Crikey we're an insecure mob but probably with good reason.It would be nice if the club could provide a little info about Charlie. I don't need an elaborate report, but just a little 'yep he's travelling like expected' would be cool.
Yes - but I haven't seen any research on the mental health implications of preventing someone from reaching their personal pinnacle when they personally feel they are fit to play.um...........have you seen the, ah, latest research...........the whole point of the 12 day break?
Yeah no surgery means it’s a non-displaced fracture which should see him able to run andCompared to the others, I assume Carroll could get some value out of the coming weeks with just a thumb injury? (ie he can still run)
Exactly. 99% of players in that hypothetical situation would lie and say they were fine for a chance to play. Its an archaic attitude to suggest that players should be able to judge their own body where head injuries are concerned.How many players would decide not to play in a GF? That's the whole point. It's taken out of their hands for a reason. What if they were then concussed again? It's about future wellbeing, not player milestones. The news is full of ex-players with ongoing mental conditions through having their brains repeatedly smashed around inside their skulls.
Diesel literally does not remember the 1995 Grand Final or his daughters middle names. This point is so valid.Yeah no surgery means it’s a non-displaced fracture which should see him able to run and

No point playing in the grand final if you can hardly remember the game 20 years later. If a few fit players missing big games is the cost of seeing less Danny Frawley/Shane Tuck cases in the future then that’s a price everyone should be happy to pay
