AFL: The Fox Footy panel and Ralphy discuss whether Jeremy Cameron should've been made to come from the ground in the final quarter for a HIA.
An AFL great believes suspension might be the way to ensure necessary Head Injury Assessments are conducted for concussion-affected players , after Geelong’s Jeremy Cameron didn’t come from the ground following a hard fall on Friday night.

New to Kayo?However, considering the all-time-high level of concern regarding concussion in the AFL, the discourse has shifted to whether potentially concussion-affected players should be “compelled” to exit the field in the same way bleeding players have been for years.
“The doctor — again, we’re sitting in a studio — came out and looked like he was — I’m surmising that he wanted to get him off. There was about five minutes to go. It looked like he wanted to get him off and do a test of some sort. “I think the optics were really poor here. There two levels of concussion management — the HIA, which is that test across five minutes, and then if the doctor believes they need to take them off the ground that’s the SCAT6, and that would’ve ended his night — that’s a 15-minute test.
“What’s Cameron going to say? ‘I’m fine’. The doctor comes out and ‘what do you think?’, ‘I’m fine, move away’. It’s a really, really difficult decision for the club.
