That article is a bit confusing. Surely the 12 day rule means he is  100% out for round one?

    He still has 10 days to prove his fitness and he is as tough as they come, particularly since he pulled on the Red & Blue, Good Luck Steven..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    His injury (if that's how to refer to it) was on the 8th - round 1 is on the 20th - the 12th day after the concussion
    Therefore as long he is ok to play there is no problem - or am I missing something

    Depends how they judge it exactly. 12 days from the time he got injured in the Dogs game would take us to after the end of the Freo game if they count it in that way.

    The article says, "Under the new guidelines, the earliest that a player can return to play after a concussion is on the 12th day after the day on which the concussion was sustained."

    I think that means he's out until 12 days after the 9th, being the day after the concussion occurred which would mean he's out until the 21st.

    You might be right.

     I assumed the 12th day was the day before the game. Cutting it a bit fine otherwise.

    AFL rules - anyone's guess how they interpret things but the article says

    The concussion occurred on the 8th

    The first day after was the 9th , the 12th day after is the 20th - therefore he would be ok to play that day

    I think I'm wrong. The 12th day after the 9th is the 20th. (Of course, irrespectivce of the number of days, he shouldn't play if he still has any symptoms, whatever the date).

    Ta.

    I'm going with that.

    Will play.

    At risk of calling the AFL competent but I would have assumed the AAMI series games were deliberately organised so that every team had a full concussion protocol window between their AAMI game and round 1.

    Wait no, scratch that. The dogs play on the Friday making it the 11th day. Can't believe I even for a second contemplated AFL competence

    I cant think of a club that would miss a player more than Melbourne without Steven May.

    We have literally no backup.

    Petty He's been cooling his heals for 580 days plus I think.

    If May plays  Petty should be at CHF. Or FF.

    We are 3-4 goals worse off without him!

    Might may miss?

    May may.

    May might miss.

    Source AFL:

    "May will now be assessed under the AFL's new concussion protocols, which state that the earliest a player can return to play is on the 12th day – the same day as the Demons' season-opener against Fremantle on March 20."

    So if he's recovered he should technically be allowed to play.

    Oh, but I thought Goodwin said it was a knock to the chest? Further proof that the bloke has NFI and just spins BS. 

    Geez, the posters who want to find fault with Goodwin at every turn.  If you listen to his comments in full you will hear him mention the concussion issue as well.    He may not be the best/good/poor coach but putting the boot into him like that doesn't add any credibility to the case against him.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
