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

That was obviously the line was club  was spinning (not just SG) - as Stevo on C7 said categorically on the news on Monday after the game that he would not be subject to concussion protocols.

More fool me for believing he knew what he was talking about. Going out to buy a Herald Sun now just to make sure I remain well informed

    Concussions can be caused by whiplash. Maybe the knock to the chest caused concussion that way?

    I'm just stirring the pot. Surely we don't have to keep reminding posters that everyone lies in the AFL? It's the second language of football (after gobbledygook).

    No so, concussion happens from acceleration or deceleration of the brain inside of the skull; can happen from a hit directly to the head or body.

    From the footage of the incident, you can see he was struggling. Placed into recovery position by the support staff, when he got up he looked like he wanted to keep playing, I also thought he was going to stagger but he got up fine and jogged off.

    Anyone at the game could see he was concussed. He didn’t move. So I dunno why Simon tried to spin us a line about a chest hit.

    Watch the footage and you'll see May repeatedly point to his chest

    FCS, watch his post-match press conference.  He did not hide the concussion issue.  This is getting tedious.

    Possibly put into recovery position because he couldn't breath easily. Also rolled him onto his back, if concussed he might swallow his tongue in that position. Chest hit with slight concussion.

    When the community series was first publicised it was stated that there would be a weekend in between the series and the opening round and among other things, this would enable players who suffered concussion enough time to recover under the rules. I assume this is a direct reference to the “12” day concussion rule. 

    If it were otherwise then the four clubs that played on Monday would be at a relative disadvantage to the other clubs.

    May Be See Dee works as a headline if you have a clear sub-heading to accompany it: 

    MAY BE SEE DEE? 
    Concussed Demon could play round 1

    AFL rules - anyone's guess how they interpret things but 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. 

    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 

    should call it the 11 day rule

    I had to stop playing for this reason - its also amazing when susceptible how easily you can get whiplash and then concussion.   Any body contact can do it, henceforth why a lot of players are retiring now - it can be a hit to any part of the upper body

    "I'm perfectly fine. What's that? What day is it? Friday. Who are we playing ... Everton. Stop asking these questions and let me get back to the game. Who are you? You're me, you fool. But who's this guy right here? This one, right here."

    Wonder if this has any impact on whether May plays?

     

    I don't think they can go longer than 12 days, not so close to the season and with the evidence still up for debate.

    There's 2 steps I think they should make:

    1. Independent doctors
    2. A specific umpire stoppage for head injury assessments similar to the blood rule.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • 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.
