Afl Hits Geelong with Monster Fine Over Concussion Waiver Scandal The Australian Football League (AFL) has fined Geelong $140,000 for failing to disclose a waiver in Jake Kolodjashnij's contract, marking a long overdue acknowledgment of its fumbled response to concussion protocols.
While the penalty is a welcome development, it's only a minor rebuke compared to the systemic issues that have plagued the league.
The AFL's handling of concussion protocols has been shrouded in controversy for years, with players and their associations raising concerns about inadequate safety measures.
