AFL Under Fire for Concussion Incident | AFANA

(Ed. note: this is part of a long running series of reports on this site about concussion issues in the AFL. Click on "Concussion" at the bottom to see many more in the series from previous years.) Last week in round nine, Fremantle met Collingwood. Collingwood's Lachie Schultz was badly concussed in an attempt to tackle Docker Jordan Clark. In the attempt, his head was caught in an awkward position and collided with Clark's shoulder. Schultz brought Clark to the ground but Clark freed himself and got rid of the ball. After the tackle, play continued as Schultz lay motionless on the ground. Medical staff tended to Schultz and he tried to leave the ground but collapsed and had to be helped to the bench.
