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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
