The AFL decreed earlier this year that no player should be played the week after getting concussion. The Crows medical staff would not ignore an AFL directive. Therefore his injury was minor and the classification of high impact ( not to be confused with high contact which did occur ) was wrongly obtained for a start.

Exactly Redleg. I've mentioned this elsewhere today and can't understand why there is not more noise about it. Although I do believe the clubs doctors would ignore an AFL directive, because it has happened numerous times already this year. There have been a number of concussions in every round this season resulting in a couple of subbing and exactly 0 players missing a week. It seems the clubs assess as concussed when it suits them and change that assessment to suit them.

It definitely would have been nice to hear from Dangerfield, but it needed to happen on Monday, because as we know now, we couldn't present any new evidence tonight.I mean that in itself is a complete joke. WTF is this appeals board's job anyway, except for stamp some paperwork? It's a disgrace.They wasted our time and wouldn't consider any relevant and very recent evidence that have been brought to hand. Disgusting.

As for new evidence, Adam McNicol on the the AFL site said that we cannot expect to win without new evidence. That says to me that it would be ok for us to submit new evidence. However through the process he mentioned a couple pieces of new evidence that we weren't allowed to show. I can't understand all of this, because on one hand we are told we need new evidence to win, and on the other hand we aren't allowed to submit new evidence. I asked McNicol in 5 different questions why, and none of them were displayed on the site or answere. Most of the questions he answered were relatively trivial. Obviously he was there to keep things AFL-sanitised, and avoiding anything of real substance. I agree we should have got it more right on Tuesday, but they have ignored the evidence and it is an outrage.

The afl have not said a player should not play the next week after concussion

They actually did daisy, just before the start of the season when they announced the rule that a concussed player had to be subbed. The second part to that was that they missed a week. I clearly remember, because I have been saying for a while now that is what I thought should happen to a concussed player, and I was amazed they finally did it.

Sorry you're wrong Kent

It is purely up to the attending medical staff.

They are just saying tthat if player still has symptoms of concussion the following week he should not play and only a Dr can decide that.

i

There are instances of players getting concussed and playing the following week this season. THis dos not mean the initial diagnosis was wrong

Spot on. What's the use of an Appeals board if a) one cannot present new evidence; and B) one cannot be given a fresh hearing?

The whole thing is a joke.

Fair enough guys, I must have heard it somewhere that did not explain it correctly.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
