Agreed - good post. Bedford is out of touch with relevant protocols ...... maybe too many **** knocks?I'm no fan of Robinson and putting to one side what the VAFA may or may not do in the future, there are many neurologists, neuro-surgeons, and neuroscientists et al who have expertise in concussion protocols who are of the view that a 12 day standdown is insufficient.
I thought every concussion case was different in its own right, correct me if wrongAgreed - good post. Bedford is out of touch with relevant protocols ...... maybe too many **** knocks?
Look after yourself 0 , hope you'll be okAgreed - good post. Bedford is out of touch with relevant protocols ...... maybe too many **** knocks?
You were right, Slobbo making up s**t, again.That's fine , but Slobbo is just on a bandwagon
VAFA considering 28 day return to play....
VAFA but out a statement a couple of days ago , stating best practice and are waiting on the AFLIt's a serious and science based approach.
Yet the blokes at the Local Footy Show basically attacked them for it.
RUOKUP THE BLOODS !!!
I can't recall reading where anyone with expertise has suggested it'll be a one-size-fits-all approach.I thought every concussion case was different in its own right, correct me if wrong
Having a 28 day blanket rule could be overkill for some, not for others
It's a wonder no one posted a link here!VAFA but out a statement a couple of days ago , stating best practice and are waiting on the AFL
last H&A round best player concussion .Every player under AFL level with concussion will have to be out for 21 days , i presume we will have this
That's itlast H&A round best player concussion .
Grand final - Saturday day 21 , Sunday Day 22 !!!!
Time for a review of penalties.Every player under AFL level with concussion will have to be out for 21 days , i presume we will have this
As someone who spends time as an advocate. Some penalties are too hard. Outcome over action. A very difficult predicament.Time for a review of penalties.
Causing an incident that results in 21 days on sidelines needs to have a longer suspension than the victim.
Has to be 4 weeks min for a bump that results in a concussion and the player missing 3 gamesTime for a review of penalties.

Should make for an interesting members meeting on the 13 March. Also rumour has it Frank the Tank has applied to be appointed back on the VAFA Board. After the "airing" of some of his early emails the New Board will say Noooooooooooo - the clubs have spoken as well.Looks like it - Impossible to implement and monitor, complete reliance on the honesty of the player.
How ya feeling? Yeah, I'm right to go coach.

It's actually 20 days and they can return on the 21st dayThe clubs trainers are there to support the players and coaches for head knocks.
There is more scrutiny and awareness on concussion than ever before as we all know. So they are trained on the symptoms and it is also part of the coaching re-accreditation covers concussion identification.
Personally I think the 21 day rule is good.
However we must keep in mind that the 21 days is a minimum and I personally wouldn’t never try and rush someone back early if they hadn’t been approved by a doctor.
