Geelong have avoided any sanction for making a deal with a player who had a history of concussions that required him to assume all legal responsibility for future brain trauma. The deal with the unnamed footballer, who is still an active AFL player, was signed two years ago. “Geelong has advised the AFL today that the waiver in the letter will be removed, noting that the player continues to acknowledge potential risks,” the statement read. “The AFL is satisfied that the letter was not used by Geelong to allow a medically unfit player to return to play. New AFL Commission chair Craig Drummond was the president of the Geelong board at the time the deal was struck.
