Good to see. It's almost like Port were cheating the protocols so they wouldn't miss a week, panicking after a few losses, or just plain incompetence.

Port club doctor has a lot to answer for. He has a duty of care which he failed to uphold. He and the club need to be held to accountย

Yep whispers they might lose game points but I'm not sure the AFL will go that far maybe a large fine.

AFL has stated they are out for 12 days, wonder if its from today "two games" or from the match day which would only be the one. Also wonder who will now give the all clear to play "Port Doctor or an AFL doctor".

Absolutely. Given the suspensions being handed out for bumps / tackles resulting in concussions, the AFL will be taking a very serious stance against this.

I dont think a fine is sufficient. If Port have been proven negligent, i'd push for premiership point deductions for attempted circumvention of concussion protocols - it is that serious that financial penalties will only be a drop in the ocean. By putting a contender out of the top 2 / 4, rest assured, others will take notice and will think twice before attempting to not at least put in a 20 min concussion test.

I mean, its just bloody terrible. They are meant to go back over the vision and assess, how could a professional in that field, or those around him, not give Aliir the care he needed. Just unbelievable tbh.

This is why its suss, no test for Aliir and then Jones subbed out with a "migraine" - it's just plain dodgy

It appears that this Doctor's ย professional competence has been questioned.

This could skyrocket into very dark and costly litigious areas accompanied by negative PR and a media pile on.


A disgraceful situation.ย 
If the AFL only hands them a fine, then this doesnโ€™t deter a team in a prelim ignoring protocol to allow their star player to get up and play in a Grand Final. Most clubs would risk the fine.
Hence why the AFL has to come down hard and make them lose premiership points.


This is one of the most negligible acts Iโ€™ve seen from a footy club. Disgraceful to put him back on the field with a โ€œmigraineโ€. Imagine he cops another hit and never recover! Imagine his loved ones watching on.
His limp body hit the ground and he was deemed fine to return to play without so much as a proper assessment.

Screams desperation from PA, or just bad medical care. Either way, itโ€™s awful.ย 

Players are copping suspensions for accidental head contact. A club that deliberately allows players to play with a head injury deserve serious punishment. This is exactly the sort of stuff that will land the AFL in court again and again.ย 
ย 

Itโ€™s clearly a club/coach directive. The Doctor is negligent and needs to be held to account. Iโ€™d suggest a $150,000 fine might change their form in the future. Theyโ€™re playing with kids lives.ย

Aliir Aliir and Lachie Jones have entered concussion protocols, with the club saying both failed SCAT5 tests today. Port Adelaide has been issued a please explain by the AFL as to why Aliir did not receive a SCAT5 test after his collision.

You canโ€™t make this stuff up. What was their doctor thinking?

Did Mark Fisher get his medical license on Saturday post game? ๐Ÿ™„


12 days from today is 11 Aug so theyโ€™ll still be back by their next game on the 13th imo.

Club doctor will probably have more time to focus on his private practice going forward though

ย 

I actually feel for the AFL in all this. The AFL is trying desperately to get ahead of the concussion issue facing contact sport worldwide, and Port has laid a big steaming dump right in their lap.

I think BT gave to him after a Friday Night game during Roaming Brian.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
