Just saying..... its taken one game for a player to be on the ground playing with concussion. The process is a joke.

They won't. Exposes AFL as there should be an independent official to judge concussion in the case of "clear diagnosis of concussion " and this is on the AFL.

it depends on how astute people in adelaide are. i've heard that there's a lot of lead in the water around there so it might disappear in a month or two, who knows!
Sadly that is twice tonight.
It has been a big night mate
It won't disappear, the Advertister pumped out 6 articles today alone, I'm sure they'll keep pumping them out over the coming weeks.
Thats if the lead doesn't kill us all first.
I also thought I saw him on the field, after the head clash with Trelor, isn't that a similar issue?
Perhaps my eyes have deceived me, it's been a long day and night after all.
It's a club killer when players stop trusting the coach and the medical staff to do the right thing
Port have a big problem here.

Cheaters never prosper
Yep.
But apparently he is a "good bloke" cos he helped Kane Cornes kid. Kane Cornes should be paying for his own Dr rather than getting free services from Port Adelaide. What a complete arsehole.

Exactly. I said early on we have to trust the doctor's assessment, but if it turns out the doctor screwed up he has to be sanctioned.
It cant just be a fine. And the doctor has to face a penalty.

Well well well
Can’t read the paywall article but if they’ve flouted the concussion protocols again they have to receive massive punishment.

Bit of a nothing article, doesn't sound like anything to worry about.
Interesting that Jonas is getting a fine to play next week, bit harsh.
Quite a few from other games need to be questioned too if this is the new standard. Every head knock in any game will be scrutinised.
Yup, McAdam one springs to mind, 2 weeks for McCartin but they didn't even test him

Watching at the game I was pretty disappointed we didn’t bring McAdam off. Haven’t gone back and looked at what the replays suggest.
Perhaps the issue was related to his fractured cheekbone and the doctors accurately assessed he was concussion free, but I still feel like that should have been time to take the cautious approach.
Didn’t think there was much wrong per say with Jonas’s handling - looked like he got bonked right on the sneck, went off for 2 long stints but obviously they were keeping a close eye on him.

Port up to their old tricks again?
Boak knocked out in the dying stages of their game against Melbourne. Play had to stop as he was assisted off.
On the AFL website report, he’s listed as an injury from the game with a “head knock”
He pulls out of his AFL360 spot tonight due to “friendly fire” from the game and needing a rest
But he’s not named on the injury list for Port today.
Will be interesting to see if he’s named.

He passed his SCAT test and wasn’t concussed at the time.
Being monitored for delayed but stop trying to make something happen that isn’t there.

Given your clubs track record, there is definitely something there
You're probably right.
But given what's happened previously how much trust do you have?
There’s just no reason to even try and throw shade at something which doesn’t exist here.
He passed the SCAT test - tick.
We’re monitoring for delayed - tick.
He’s removed from unnecessary media while resting - tick.
We couldn’t have been more open or cautious about him.
He will likely have further tests this week to assess any delayed symptoms and if he doesn’t play then, that will be why and fair enough. Not because of some conspiracy after following the correct protocol.
Was he knocked out in the game?
No and he walked himself off the ground.
If you watch the footage you can see Soldo doesn’t actually even collide with his head. It’s knees into chest area.
