Matthew Lloyd has hit back at Nick Riewoldt after the St Kilda legend claimed he was “ill-informed” in responding to comments made surrounding the AFL’s concussion protocols.
Adelaide star Chelsea Randall was ruled out of the AFLW Grand Final after being concussed in the preliminary final and Riewoldt said he would take the competition to the Supreme Court if he was in the same position but felt he was fit to play.
Lloyd then told
3AW Football that Riewoldt’s take was an “old-school mentality” and that the AFL’s 12-day policy helps “protect the brain”.

NRL 2021: Top sports doctor Nathan Gibbs says AFL's 12-day stand down concussion rule 'a backward step'

One of the country’s top sports doctors believes the AFL’s new 12-day stand-down rule for concussions is “a backward step” that will not benefit player welfare.
Sports doctor Nathan Gibbs during his time with the Wallabies.
Nathan Gibbs, who has worked with some of the biggest sporting teams in Australia, including the Sydney Swans, Wallabies and NSW Origin and Australian Kangaroos, said once players had recovered from a concussion, there was no medical evidence that supported giving them extra time on the sidelines would reduce their chances of suffering another one.
Gibbs also feared making players automatically sit out a game would set a dangerous precedent, especially around AFL finals time, and send “concussions underground”.
