Let's just wait, not surprised the media are going hard, they don't care about EH at all.

Tony Shaw seems to be the only one in the media who keeps saying the media should lay off and let the investigation go ahead and wait for the outcome. This can't be good for EH, right or wrong this noise should stop.

Struggling - do they mean, struggling to get into the game, what is their definition of struggling??

Either way we know we are going to cop a big whack.

If players keep getting concussion at such a rate, the AFL will need to introduce head gear. These are at unbelievable levels and I have to admit, I'm not sure if the game changes have made it worse or it's always been this bad and we just didn't take enough care of the players. Either way, this is not going well.

Or there’s a wee bit of mayonnaise on the whole thing and the league has over-diagnosed its way out of a decent insurance cover.

I think the AFL are just protecting their 'future' asses more than anything.
But yes, it seems to be a lot worse this year than any other.
Maybe someone close to the clubs can see if any of the diagnosis ruling has changed.
Or it could simply be because the game has become faster so the hits are harder and more likely.

That didn't last long. Including Elijah, 5 further players unavailable this week.

Yep, seven total unavailable. The good news is that we could have three back next game.

Maybe the AFL could introduce a rule that penalises players for punching other players in the head?

They have one . Only seem to enforce it when it suits .
