Stunned that Reid got banned, seems like he just braced for contact, didn't choose to bump someone for no reason. If your brace for contact your arm will automatically slide up.......people seem to think it's a bump when Fyfe ran to his arm. Danger bee-lined and launched at Kelly

An off the ball hit takes out a champion ball player with a serious concussion.
Should of been 4 weeks imo.
We don't need spuds like Reid taking out these top players.

North Melb.
He misses one mandatory game but provided he passes concussion tests, he will be available round 4 as it falls outside the 12 day period.
Is this official?

Heard a report on the weekend (cant recall where) that said he was subbed out as he had to be off the ground for 20 minutes to get a concussion test. As it was start of Q4 he would not have been back on until 10 minutes to go. He then passed the test.

Stand to be corrected on this. Maybe I am just a hopeful owner

@Darkie little annoying that it’s turned out like this after a promising start.

At least offers an option for Impey or Tex...
Thanks mate - it’s rarely a good sign when you get tagged in this thread! 🙂

Given I don’t need his cash this week, I reckon I’ll hold, and hope he gets up this week/is close to full fitness next week.

Bit painful, but he could still be a decent (albeit delayed) stepping cow if he scores well.

The AFL.com Match Report has Fyfe recorded as being substituted.

SUBSTITUTES
Fremantle: Connor Blakely (replaced Nat Fyfe)

Fyfe, who becomes the first player to be replaced by a medical substitute because of concussion, didn’t emerge after heading to the Dockers' rooms at the end of a blistering third term that saw his team build a 40-point lead with four unanswered goals.

"Fyfe was concussed in the club’s win over GWS on Sunday with Sam Reid suspended for two matches over the bump that caused the injury.
Under the AFL’s new concussion rules Fyfe won’t be available for selection until Round 4"

I heard he passed the concussion test on the day , I'm not sure if that means he can potentially play this week.
