Geelong Fined $140,000 for Undisclosed Jake Kolodjashnij Concussion Waiver

Summary

The AFL has fined Geelong $140,000 for failing to disclose a contract variation, described as a "waiver," related to player Jake Kolodjashnij's concussion management. While Geelong was penalized for procedural errors, the AFL's findings suggest that clubs can negotiate waivers with players, even those with a history of concussion symptoms.
