Injury SACK DOCTORS 1 - CTE

[sobrave]

Aliir and Jones were both knocked out cold.

The fact aliir is back on and Jones is sitting on the bench instead of being subbed is obscene.

The club has form in this area with putting concussed players back on. The word for it is desperation.

Neither looker knocked out to me despite the commentators bias.

Both clearly holding their heads up.

Oh bullshit

Yeah slow motion makes things look worse than they are.


I’ll trust our docs over Roo and the commentators

Not everyone gets the Showdown and what it is. Our doctors simply get what winning the Showdown means and have the cut throat mentality we've been crying out for the leadership to have.

But on a more serious note, given all of our haters' eyes are on this game you just know the call will receive media attention and scrutiny and you know what? Fair enough, as it should. Whatever we get fined, chuck it towards the CTE payouts that'll be coming in future years.

Clearly both out before they hit the ground

Exactly.

Take your ******* one eyed goggles off and look at the replay. 2 players clashing heads at full speed and going limp. Jones has both hands up in the classic concussion pose. Have you never seen a concussion before?

The other camera angle had Aliir with his eyes open, immobile and staring into space. It's not him having a rest surely.

Jones looked dazed like he was back to his senses.

If the league is taking this seriously then this incident doesn't pass the smell test.

Doctors over Commentators guys.

They’re the Experts, you cant question them

 

[backtozero]

Seems strange to start a thread about though. I'm just annoyed about the game in general.

 

[Crowboto]

Credit to you for calling this out.

Blind faith in a medical department that has done this repeatedly and is facing a lawsuit from a former club is exactly the same as happy clapping for ken Hinkley.

Just because they're doctors and work for port Adelaide doesn't mean they're infallible..or even competent it seems.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Oh bullshit

I'm a health care professional and an educated trainer at my local footy club.

I'll back my judgement over your rehashing of Roos comments.

Both could end up with delayed concussion but neither were out cold.

Don't trust what went on with Aliir. Jones at least went off for a test

 

[HugeJohnson]

Firstly, Jones hasn't even run back out yet so let's take a breath and wait for actual confirmation on that one.
Agree though, Aliir went back out way too quick for mine. He looks as though he's okay, but for the amount of time he spent down on the ground surely they have to go through the full concussion test like they seemed to with Jones.

Remember when Burgess came back to SA and was deciding what club he was gonna go to, but Ken wouldn't have him unless Ken retained final say over player availability over the fitness staff, so Burgess told us to GAGF and went to the Crows?

I'm guessing our doctor doesn't have Burgess' integrity.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Your Ken told them to sub off Lachy Jones?

Lol dude, Jones was in the classic concussion response with the weird clenched hands in the air. He wasnt even concious when he hit the ground.

 

[Mr39]

We do have form in this area and it’s not good enough.

How many players have we rolled out injured in recent years ,usually to our detriment

Are you seriously trying to argue he was holding his head off the ground whilst concussed?

You seem to be confused between being knocked out and being concussed, ie. You have NFI.

You can be concussed without being knocked out. You can be flash knocked out and wake up when you hit the deck.

Trying to get a concussed player back next week to avoid the AFL concussion protocols. Pretty bizarre stuff and likely to get us destroyed in the media and not work anyway.
