As I wrote in the other thread on this, Redlegs argument seems bullet-proof to me. If he is named he cannot have concussion (unless Adelaide are silly enough to break the new direction), hence less force whatever the outcome of the rest of this baloney.

My only concern would be how forceful was the AFL's lay-off next week for concussion directive? Must rest, or should be rested?

    Adelaide have tabled a new medical report as new evidence stating that Dangerfield has trained well and suffers no lingering effects. Not sure it will change everything but surely a better start.

    think you'll find its ultimately at doctors discretion (AFL "recommend" 1 week off)

    It's interesting to note after watching the game again today. Dangerfield was shown sitting on the bench (7 minutes after leaving the ground), he looked fine.

    I like this Gallbaly guy, has made some fair comments so fair!

    I believe it does. The AFL decreed earlier this year that no player should be played the week after getting concussion.

    Sorry Redleg, but you are not correct. The new concussion guidelines state that a concussed player is not to return to the ground on the day of the concussion.

    What happens the following week is dependant upon the recovery. ie fully recovered - can play. Still symptomatic - can't play.

    If Dangerfield is asymptomatic at rest and post-exercise, and his neuropsychological test has returned to baseline, he may play.

    Regards....

    Should be straight to the supreme court tomorrow for an injunction. Don't care if it is ultimately unsuccessful but we need to make a stand. The afl have always shafted us. I want its to fight it.

    If that's what the concussion guidelines say, then I got that bit wrong.

    I don't agree that we should be taking it to court.

    I'm going to vote "no". :)

    Agree. Time to get on with it and beat North.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
