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.

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

    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

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
