‘Embarrassing, terrible, absurd’: AFL criticised for letting Cameron play on after head knock
If the AFL truly wants to treat concussion seriously, it needs to tighten up the process for assessing players immediately after they cop an obvious blow to the head.

“They said their medicos conducted a head injury assessment at the time of the incident, where Cameron, “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,” the Cats’ said in their statement.”
Nope. Just watched the final 9 minutes of the game and Cameron didn’t come off for assessment at all. In fact, he was barely getting involved at all as he usually would in those games he is, you know, not concussed. Embarrassing look for the AFL.
