It’s bloody hard to comprehend to be completely honest. Very disappointed with The Advertisers updated reporting of the scenario. Can understand family members being distressed however to quote them so close to the event and then put clubs like Waikerie and Birdwood on the spot about their knowledge of concussions is absolute terrible journalism. I can completely understand professional AFL clubs being put in to the spotlight because of their intimate knowledge of medical health records, however grassroots volunteers are a completely different story. Feel for the footy clubs involved in this scenario as there will be a fair bit of trauma to deal with….

It does raise a question in terrible circumstances.
Is community level keeping up?
Are the medical people (trainers) getting adequate training provided by the AFL...free?

there's plenty of training available, i update concussion protocols every year, i did mine two weeks ago.

The problem still lies mostly, with hero players that think they're ok, coaches that don't listen to trainers and trainers that think they're doctors and send people back on because they think they know better.

The trainers protocol is easy - we're not doctors - so it's literally - IF IN DOUBT SIT THEM OUT.

There's an extensive list of symptoms that if they show even one, they're not to take any further part in the game. It now goes so far to say that if the person is lying on the ground for longer than 5 seconds (in fact it might be less) than we need to treat that as that person having a concussion.

The trainers are always the baddies when we don't let someone back on field. One player didnt speak to me for 2 weeks after i ruled him out of a final a few years back. Another younger kid, who always insists he's fine... even on Saturday he nearly got cleaned up and his response was "im used to it"..... It was his best mate that died. :(

It needs to be a collective change, supported by all facets of the game.
Don't play games with a girl who can play 'em better...

Everything was done that could have been. Unfortunately there was nothing they could do to prevent the tragedy.

Some talk the HFL were to suspend this weeks matches, but Birdwood fortunately have the bye this round.
Gumeracha play against familiar faces in their local derby vs Kersbrook.

Some interesting results after 2 weeks.
TV giving Kangy a fright round 1
Maccy level with the $1.40 flag favourites meadows at 3/4 time.
Kersbrook only managed 2 goals for the whole game

Have TV and Maccy have improved significantly, or Meadows and Kangy aren't that good?

Looks like TV was competitive for three quarters, except the third.
Hopefully they can be competitive for the good of the competition, seem to have a few good recruits including a couple former juniors.

Short odds on a Meadows v Gumeracha GF at this early stage.

Great to see TV knock off Kerbrook quite comfortably. Hopefully the recruits stick around for the season, unlike prior years

Definitely meadows flag to lose. Looks like everyone else is playing for second. Playing against their no1 competition this weekend should give a really good pointer as to how far ahead they currently are. Other results across the first 4 rounds shows that the rest of the comp is very even.

Know about the half the guys in the team and yep they would have enjoyed a beverage.

Their A's thumped Birdwood by 77 points to remain in third place. Lean season for the Roosters.
