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 account

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  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. 
If the AFL only hands them a fine, then this doesn’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 I’ve seen from a footy club. Disgraceful to put him back on the field with a “migraine”. 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, it’s awful. 

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.

It’s clearly a club/coach directive. The Doctor is negligent and needs to be held to account. I’d suggest a $150,000 fine might change their form in the future. They’re playing with kids lives.

Port Adelaide doctor Mark Fisher: “Upon reviewing the vision of the incident again, Aliir should have undergone SCAT testing at the time immediately following the collision."

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.

Did Mark Fisher get his medical license on Saturday post game? 🙄

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.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
