In what way TBR?I've never seen an instance of a football-related mystery concussion where no-one had any idea of how it occurred.

Maybe Grub copped a knock n wasn't assessed properly until Sat arvo.In what way TBR?
We’ll probably get fined for playing a concussed player.The AFL need to look I to Grimes injury we ALL know how this happened ....
Tyrone Vickery got hit during a game by the mystery bus. Went down like a bag of Colvan chips.I've never seen an instance of a football-related mystery concussion where no-one had any idea of how it occurred.

Could be wrong but I think we're resting/rotating players without the added attention. Vlastuin returning gives Dylan a chance to recharge the batteries.
He's been moderately off & I reckon it's in part to Nick's absence.
Good thought. Really hope that's not the case but may explain his mild drop in form.Very concerning. If there wasn’t a single, high impact incident then it’s possible he’s been playing with sub-concussive symptoms for a few weeks without realising.
Could partially explain why he’s been a little bit off.
Takes at least a month of recovery before players look good again after a concussion, usually.
No rush to come back ASAP.
So Grimes was faking a non-injury? The AFL will most likely issue us a fine.I've never seen an instance of a football-related mystery concussion where no-one had any idea of how it occurred.

Richo, is there any protocol which allows the MRP to review the Bruce tackle which caused Dylan to concuss with his head hitting the ground with force?People here are saying there was clearly a couple of incidents where he took some head impact so the protocol should have kicked in and he be taken inside for the 20 minutes to do the assessment.
It may be that he was assessed and it deemed not necessary to do the assessment, but that would obviously be seen as a error now and identified as the incident that caused the concussion.
You have to remember that there are people now who sit there for the entire game and go over the footage on a specially designated system looking for any incidents of head trauma. If PRE posters noticed it then they should have definitely noticed it and it been noted and he checked on by the medical team.
If it is a genuinely unexplainable concussion with no evidence of impact then that is a much more serious situation and would require some fairly rigorous investigation and a longer period out of the game than 12 days.
He smashed heads in a tackle earlier in the game. That incident was a heavy motivator for the new system where vision is constantly scanned for head trauma.
Don't think there will be any AFL review if no report/citing. Two incidents where Bruce hits Grimes' head into the ground and drags him down by the neck to hit the ground. Both in clear view of all those umpires out there and on film ... nothing. Not even a free; certainly no 50m penalty.Richo, is there any protocol which allows the MRP to review the Bruce tackle which caused Dylan to concuss with his head hitting the ground with force?
Slobbo brought up last night, but the conversation ended quicker then it started.If that was Lynch that pushed an opposition players head into the ground as Bruce did, the media would be on it for days on end.
Also if you had any doubts the umpires this year have been crap, just look at the performance of the emergancy umpire from the Bulldogs game. Disaster.
They did it for Jake King v Adelaide. The MRP had closed on Monday night and Adelaide said our player suffered delayed concussion, what are you going to do about it? Two weeks, that's what.But if Grimes' concussion was known on Saturday that would be included in that process, but I guess it is hard for the MRP to identify an incident if the club and player can't.
