Just when you thought the Australian Football League’s (AFL) management of concussion could not get murkier, news arrived yesterday the Geelong Football Club required a player with a history of concussions to sign a letter waiving their legal rights with respect to any future brain trauma.
It was reported the Cats had a secret arrangement with a player who signed the agreement in a bid to clear the club and its medical staff from future court action. Late yesterday, the Cats acknowledged in a public statement the waiver did actually exist.
