The AFL - Nothing to see here. My goodness gracious me, don't you worry about that.


Geelong Cats forward Jeremy Cameron has entered the AFL's concussion protocols.

In the fourth quarter of Friday night’s game, Cameron made head/ground impact after a marking contest.

As per the AFL’s concussion guidelines, Geelong medical staff immediately attended Cameron and conducted a HIA on ground, where he reported no symptoms and satisfied all AFL requirements. After further review of the video footage, and in consultation with the spotters in the ARC, it was decided there was no criteria to remove Cameron immediately from the field for further assessment.

As further due diligence, and still with no concussive symptoms, Cameron undertook and completed a normal SCAT6 concussion assessment after the game.

As is the process following a match, Cameron was monitored and assessed again on Saturday morning, where he reported some concussive symptoms on repeat SCAT6 and a diagnosis of delayed concussion was made.

Cameron will miss Thursday night’s match against Gold Coast Suns and will continue to be monitored through the protocols.
 
So Cameron gets smacked in the head because Drew's opponent pushes Drew's head into Cameron's head and then later in the game, stuffs up a big mark and smacks his head on the ground.

I'm not really concerned about Cameron's health. Its not my problem. Just another example of AFL's hypocrisy and double standards,

"After further review of the video footage, and in consultation with the spotters in the ARC, it was decided there was no criteria to remove Cameron immediately from the field for further assessment. "

This sentence its utter crap. Who the feck are the ARC spotters? They can't even get a score review right and they sure as heck aren't head trauma specialists. Anyone who saw his head bounce of the turf knew it was a serious head concussion in need of a full assessment.

If the AFL swallowed this BS they deserve every CTE law suit coming their way.

What the f… is an “on field HIA”?

Next time a Port player gets absolutely poleaxed, don’t take them from the ground. Make sure the player states he is fine and then there is nothing the AFL can do.

It’s time for HIA to be independent and the player has to leave the field. Like on soccer and NRL (I believe). Too much gaming of the system.

However, if one of our players made head contact and he was compromised there’d be weeks for someone.

"You alright mate?"
"Yeah all good"

'on field HIA' complete

laughable

"Reported no symptoms"

Yes, I'm sure he felt absolutely fine after smashing his head into the ground at velocity. No symptoms whatsoever. Wouldn't have been so much as dazed. Totally normal.

Why one rule for Port and another for the favourite clubs?... Atrocious.

The fact that the Geelong website statement came out at the same time as the AFL statement and they both contain the same wording makes it pretty clear that this was a negotiated settlement between the two.

Which makes it even worse.

Was all about the optics.

Gotta win as many Martin Luther King Jr awards as possible.
 
That's so utterly ridiculous it's almost mind blowing the AFL have decided they can get away with it.

Ok so a head injury assessment is just someone running out and the player telling them to get stuffed.

If he's ******* concussed now, he had a brain injury during the game. The purpose of the protocol is supposedly to protect the player. The damage was done when his head bounced off the deck. Anyone could see that. The dude had a massive concussion last year and missed weeks.

How ******* incompetently inconsistent is this pissweak league. Just straight up garbage.
