I heard Travis Uren had to retire but he played, Hall announced to the playing group last Tuesday that he'd retired cause of work and family commitments but signed a clearance the next day today Houghton and that Ruiz was going with him but he played as well although Hall didn't I better re check my source!
Travis didn't play on the weekend. He has retired after 3 ko in 3 weeks. Hall has left.
Not trying to lay blame on anyone, but this is why clubs implement concussion policies and he probably should have missed a game or two after the first KO.
I'm probably not one to talk though given I would have straight up lied to make sure I didn't miss a game
Ummm, there's a concussion policy implemented by the AFL for Grassroots clubs - and this should be followed to the T, not only for the protection of the player but protection of the club and trainers legally too..
I just grounded 2 of mine last week for this very reason. They have to supply a doctors clearance to play this week. I'm not risking anyones livelihood because they want to be a hero.
