Ouch!?...

...And I think he actually says he and Jake have invested in an (existing) family business. So not so risky, that support by the club! Maybe an investment in a future sponsor? (cue discussion on how we might 'use' an insect repellent association...?)

I hope Bugg isn't offended.

Hopefully we can repell Richmond's mosquito fleet.

    Good luck to him for the future, though we never should have traded for a player that GC knew was cooked and didnt offer a contract to. We funded his insect repellent business starting up though i guess. 

    We did not really trade for him he came for free with may.

    Can see that this Paul McCrory situation and on going concussion issues just getting uglier and uglier for the AFL. Going to be interesting to see how they respond.

    yeah, and the afl have gone from completely backing him to backing away from him at a rate of knots

    You have to feel for Kade and anybody who suffers from something debilitating and potentially misdiagnosed.

    kade has claimed that paul mccrory misdiagnosed his condition and concussions when he was at gc17

    Kade Kolodjashnij accuses former AFL concussion advisor of downplaying his brain injury

    Wasted 90 minutes of my life in a concussion related discussion with said individual. Was invited to follow-up lunch but declined stating that I had a prior and more palatable appointment 'sticking pins in my eyes"

    They'll bury it like everything else they deem 'distasteful'

    Not sure about that, they are just playing it safe by staying silent aren't they? If he has made errors the afl as his employer is likely also responsible. Infringing copyright or the like doesn't necessarily mean he made poor decisions in his role. Having said that l was always sceptical about his trade and the supposed neck issue

    What I'm not sure about is the context.  It has been stated he plagiarised some of his research, not how it may have affected his conclusions.  This is what AFL policy is based upon.  If his conclusions are supported by other researchers, the AFL doesn't have a real issue and the guidelines are fine.

    The second point, was he treating these players as an AFL employee or a private doctor.  While the publicity is not good, if it was in private practice, not an AFL issue.  

    Though listening from last night "on the couch" Kade, may have gotten very poor advice which meant he continued to play when he should have been resting.  I wonder who McCartin. works with?

    he wasn't meant to be treating anyone from 2018 from the sounds of it, but was regularly still involved in clinical treatment at the afl's behest

    whole thing sounds like a mess

    So sorry for Kade.

    I was effectively forced to move due to safety concerns about my former neighbour, an ex rugby player. I am pretty sure he has CTE ... his temper would escalate within seconds.  

    I didn't feel safe living there any more. (Long story.)

    The issue with plagiarism is it is a clear indicator of poor integrity and feigning expertise - which I'm sure impacted his ability to correctly diagnose Kolo and others

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
