And again I again I don't want to speculate 'cause I don't have all the answers.

I wasn't in the room.

I do know that

It was a process that took over a couple of months from when the concussion panel met until as he worked through with different medical um independent medical experts, the club doctors, as well as having um oversight from a um his insurance advisor as well.

Look, I think when you have a player, when you have a process that was um as detailed as what I understand it to be, with independent oversight and independent medical, I don't think that's where we're going.

I think what we have is a really complex issue that

is a issue facing the AFL and its clubs, but it's also an issue that's facing sports globally when they contact sports and how do you get that balance between

the prioritization of player health and safety, which is the number one priority for any sport, and as an employer who's a club, there's obligations you can't contract out of.

So regardless of what a waiver says, you actually can't contract out of um statutory obligations as an employer.

You've got

obligations you can't delegate.

So the player has those protections always regardless of what's in.

So as a a lawyer, what was the standing of this waiver?

Well again

And you know, lawyers can like sort of run both sides of the fence, but the one thing I do know is it hasn't it hasn't had any effect because it hasn't had to be relied on.

But as I said, there's statutory obligations that you can't contract out of, regardless of what a waiver says, when you're an employer.

And you've also got common law rights as a nondelegable rights that you can't contract out of.

So they were always protecting Jake as he was playing.

So why would it have been necessary

Well I think that's a question that um yeah, that's probably a question for others.
