”We’ve sought some external consultants in the medical field who know a little bit more about brain injury and can give us some support around concussion, to provide our doctors and our medical staff with some advice,” Beveridge said on SEN.
Given how significant concussion and it’s management is to the future of AFL I’m surprised that AFLHQ with the AFLPA do not play a more direct role in supporting the Clubs with players suffering the effects of concussion. It’s a whole of competition issue which for the benefit of learning and application should be centralised and not left to the limited resources at Club level to navigate their way through.
