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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
