Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 6 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood
Last post by crashlander -My only conclusion today EB is that the medical staff thought it best he be out there with his team mates. Up until 3/4 time he spent 84% TOG. They rested him in the forth and ended up on 60%.
You have to ask what was he doing on the field? We have all this focus on concussion and looking for symptoms, passing tests etc and Elijah clearly wasn't right and even the general public could see he needed help yet he is allowed to continue.
The AFL should investigate both player and club as it was a serious breach of care imo.
Put yourself in the parents position seeing your son in that state on a football field and it should never happen again...
The question then is obvious: was there a better option? Who decides?
