Geelong has been fined $140,000 by the AFL for not submitting Jake Kolodjashnij's concussion waiver, which aimed to protect the club from future legal issues.
Geelong has received a $140,000 fine from the AFL for not properly submitting a concussion agreement for player Jake Kolodjashnij in 2024.
The club attempted to waive Kolodjashnij's rights concerning future brain injury risks, which would have shifted legal responsibility to him due to his history of concussions. This move was aimed at shielding Geelong from potential litigation.
The AFL commission met recently to decide on the penalty, with Geelong represented at the meeting. The fine includes a suspended $40,000 related to previous disclosures and agreements with club associates and third-party payments.
