Nah - the introduction of the mandatory 12 day concussion protocol makes a week break between the Prelim finals and the Grand Final essential if you want the best players available.

What if a star player doesn't recover from their concussion in two weeks?

What if a star player does an ACL in the Preliminary Final? Do they delay the Grand Final for 12 months?

Gee Gaza must have upset someone at the SANFL… $380k fine from the SANFL for systemic cap breaches going back to 2018. In spite of the alleged breaches their A-grade haven’t won a flag since 2011 and are currently div 3 going to div 4 in 2024 starting on -12 points - an additional slap. Club president, chair and football director “warned off the course” for years to use horse racing speak for banishing folks from the industry.

Talk about “amateur league”.

Can’t even cheat properly.

Royal Commission called for in this Carlton v Gold Coast game over an umpiring decision. Should go without saying who the call disadvantaged.

SA football icon and media personality Andrew Jarman says he is gutted for the players and volunteers of his childhood club as it faces extinction after receiving a record fine for salary cap breaches. Jarman, who played his entire junior career with the Eagles with his brother Darren and returned to coach the club from 2015-2019, said he was shocked by the breaches and penalty. “I’m extremely gutted, especially for a lot of our past players and hard working volunteers,” Jarman said. “

Melbourne Cricket Club members found guilty of racist behaviour face expulsion as part of the organisation’s new zero-tolerance approach to racism.
The MCC, which runs the MCG, is cracking down on poor conduct in the Members’ Reserve ahead of the AFL finals series, fed up with a decline in behaviour during the home-and-away season.

‘Zero tolerance’: MCC members face expulsion for racist abuse

Melbourne Cricket Club members found guilty of racist behaviour face expulsion as part of the organisation’s new zero tolerance approach to racism.

So the penalty is expulsion for fans, and an AA Guernsey for players?

On that subject, East Fremantle, this year's WAFL minor premiers, are in salary cap trouble too. Nothing so egregious as the Gaza allegations, and any penalties would likely be applied next season, leaving the Sharks with their first shot at premiership glory in 25 years.

East Fremantle Salary Cap Investigation

WAFL minor premiers East Fremantle are being investigated for a serious salary cap breach that has put their premiership campaign in extreme jeopardy.SportFM can reveal that the Sharks face a substantial fine and premiership point penalty similar to that issued to South Fremantle this year.Any...

The AFL is thrilled to welcome the return of the 2023 Toyota AFL Premiership Cup Tour, which will amplify this year's finals fever in towns and cities including Tasmania and Canberra for the first time," Ms Rogers said.

So in the past the tour only included Victoria and NSW.

They probably feared that aggrieved Criers followers would take it hostage until all their reparations demand were met.

The mother of a young Adelaide Hills footballer who died after an on-field collision will take legal action against the state’s peak football body over its handling of concussions in the lead up to her son’s death.
Birdwood footballer Antonio Loiacono, 20, died after a collision during a Hills Football League match against Gumeracha in April, sparking concerns from his family that previous concussions contributed to his death.
His mother Wendy Smith has now engaged top Adelaide lawyer Greg Griffin to pursue legal action against the SANFL, claiming the league breached its concussion policy by allowing her son to play without being medically cleared.“I feel like there’s been no value put on my son’s life,” Ms Smith told the Sunday Mail. “He’s a human being, he was a talented football player and they just disregarded his life. “It’s like it’s been swept under the carpet. It’s disgusting.” Mr Griffin, who is leading a concussion class action lawsuit against the AFL, will this week write to the SANFL asking them to disclose their records of all reported concussions over the past five years to show that the league received medical certificates clearing each player to return to play.

One day Greg Griffin is gonna find himself prosecuting and defending the same case...

They’ve been doing s**t like this for years before even!

Yesterday while at the AFLW I heard “some things” about the background of a few of Gaza’s management team and “pushing the envelope” was the kindest - and funniest - expression used.

Unfortunately the rest of those superstars are cancelled out by them producing Brynn Teakle.
