What is the controversy surrounding Geelong’s concussion waiver?
Yeah. Yeah. The award-winning crunch time.
Annabelle on his right from 40 meters. It'll fall towards Morris. He can't quite mark. Great work from D'Ambrosio. It doesn't matter. He has to scold it anyway. What a player. Can run forward. Handle over the top to Charlie. Charlie from 45. Shot on goal. Charlie.
He puts it through and I'll shut up for the country roads, Ken. Thank you. Draper took it out of the rug. Draper's kicked a goal. And he's off. Big Sam Draper. And they're gonna struggle to stop him. Lost it.
Annabelle, the youngster! Annabelle!
At a boy. Ball in the Morris direction. Couldn't mark. Here's Loman. Could he? Could he? Could he? Boy, he can! Kai Loman with the fourth goal.
That one from the top shelf. And that is it.
The big, bad, ugly, hungry lions are back. There's a part of me that says we just weren't good enough tonight, like. But if we play them again, oh is that guaranteed that result again? Absolutely not. We'll lick our wounds, we'll we'll learn our lessons and we'll be back. They'd won seven games in a row and Had a bad day last week, but um You know, they've always been a group over the last seven or eight years that have always been able to bounce back after disappointments and to be honest with you, we put that performance in the bin. Pretty quickly and uh just moved on to this week and I think the players appreciated that and responded well tonight.
The might of the Lions on full display at the Gabba in a powerful response that wards off dismissing the champs from contention while the Hawks disappoints in a high-end examination. Well Sheisel smothered it nicely, got it down to Wardlaw! Well Wardlaw kicks a ripper. It's good to have him back. He's got plenty of room to meander away at half back. He kicks for Curse. Had a charge at Silwood got the perfectly timed rise. It's a hanger. Off hands Luke Davy Geniac. A little fend off on Richards. Runs a fifth tail, opens it up and banged. L D U O M G, Hank it was that, but that'll do it. It's the late season win most needed for North Melbourne and the late season loss most dreaded for the Bulldogs. North Melbourne basks in the prime time lights, calming concerns of a lack of progress and plunging the Bulldogs into a familiar scrap at the climax of the home and away season.
Because we can reveal a Victorian club has signed a secret deal with one of its players which required them to accept all legal risk of any further head trauma they suffered on the field.
I think we've been really clear that um the document just shouldn't have been in place and and that's ultimately the conversations we've been having with um with both the AFL and with Geelong. As I said, I'll I'll take full responsibility for it. I'm CEO of the Jawong Football Club and uh yeah we'll work through it over the coming week um as we have been over the last couple of days and yeah whatever the AFL decide to do from here um is is up to them.
And AFL Chief Executive Andrew Dillon is our headline guest as the league faces questions over Geelong's use of a secret concussion waiver for Jake Collagesny. This is the round 22 edition of Crunch Time.
Slightly different edition of Crunch Time today. The footy review is to come. We're going to start with the major story of the week. Premiership coach and player Adam Simpson on duty.
Hello, Simmo. Good morning, Jared. Yeah, interesting game last night. We'll get into it a little bit later, but uh the old Brisbane was there last night. Less less clearances, more turnover scores and high scoring.
Australian Football Hall of Famer Mark Pickley. Hello to your picks.
Uh good afternoon, Jared, or good morning I should say. And uh yeah, a bit like Simo. We're a bit shocked with the result last night, but really buoyed by what we saw on Thursday night with uh North Melbourne f following through on some of their promise.
And Tom Morris with uh a busy news week for sure and certain. Hello to you, Tom. Morning, Jared. Morning, everyone. It's been a big forty-eight hours. Got information this morning on how this waiver was signed and the discussions back in twenty twenty four that led to where we are this morning.
