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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
