Roast Port Adelaide's failure to do a HIA assessment on Aliir - [AFL confirms both players FAILED concussion tests on Monday]

[Chadwiko]

Aliir and Jones were both OUT. Everyone watching could see it. Aliir was limp immediately after the contact and crumpled to the ground.





The fact that Aliir then went back into the game approximately 5 minutes later with no HIA being undertaken by the Port Adelaide medical staff is simply unforgiveable in the modern AFL.

There is going to be an absolutely massive penalty coming Port Adelaide's way for this.

They should have 12 premiership points taken off them.

 

[Brend81]

Look how Aliir arms have stiffened up he was out 100% even if it was for a second

 

[Outtatym]

Haven't Port done this in the past ? Bad bad look

 

[banzai]

They did the same last year against us, when Butters and Jonas collided in the last quarter and they had already used the sub.

AFL have to come down hard

 

[My Tilly]

Really is a strange year.
Cameron gets ko'd by his own teammate and also busts his shoulder (playing injured) and here we are with the season on the line, play Port Adelaide next week and their best defender will still be free to line up on Cameron and likely do a number on him.

Reset to zero thank you very much!

I just want the double chance I don't care how far they fall beyond that.

We’ve got their first round pick so I want them to get the spoon!

interesting if the media tow the party line this week

Will get completely overlooked. Wet lettuce at most.

Doc should be sacked if he watches that and thinks it's nothing to worry about.

Is migraine code for available next week?

 

[JyeDye]

Not their first time, and to not even do an assessment is straight up criminal. There should be some serious penalties for this.

Yep. Pathetic stuff. We'll get sued to oblivion by an ex player (possibly Schulz) and fair enough too.

We've done it with individual players as well too. Ebert comes to mind earlier in his career before the concussions ended it.

Presumably. If so it is as egregious as Alir. They are basically saying he had heaches so bad he couldnt continue, but want him to play a week later.

This is truly horrific imo.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I imagine the bench exchange went like this

 

[Philhawk]

So, so poor. The AFL would be fuming, particularly when the league is just on the precipice of a class action on this.

The NRL moved to independent doctors ruling players out - this is why.

The NFL is the same for what it's worth.

 

[beside the seaside]

That is terrible.

 

[Checksider]

There’s something wrong at that footy club.

 

[HTPunter]

I find it incredible to believe that Jones has merely a “migraine” and that Aliir didn’t require a HIA.

I’d think the doc would be in less trouble if he performed a HIA at least as then he could point to his findings as medical evidence.

Incredible.

They were running fast and smashed heads - how could a HIA not be required??

They need a camp
