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.

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

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.

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

My English teacher once accused me of plagiarism.  Her words, not mine.
