AFL Chair Faces Scrutiny Over Concussion Agreement

Craig Drummond, the chair of the AFL Commission, is facing criticism following revelations about a secret concussion waiver agreement made during his tenure as president of Geelong.

The agreement, which aimed to absolve the club of future legal responsibilities related to brain trauma after player Jake Kolodjashnij faced a concussion panel, has drawn scrutiny from the AFL, with Geelong potentially facing a fine of up to $100,000.

Drummond, who has only recently taken on the chair role, has been praised for his accessibility and engagement with clubs. However, this incident has raised questions about his integrity and leadership, as he is now required to explain his involvement in the matter.
