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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
