Starts when he entered H&S protocols , so Sunday.
Earliest he can return to play is on the 12th day after the day on which the concussion was suffered.
They are not saying he was concussed though 🤔 , so do they start from the game or when he started showing symptoms and entered the H&S protocols ?
S , M , T , W , T , F , S
S , M , T , W , T = 12 , they play the Lions on the Thursday
So if a player didn't display symptoms until say 3-4 days later are they still out for the "full" 12 days or is "backdated" to the game played , assuming it happened in a game ?

ST KILDA captain Jack Steele is expected to return for this weekend’s trip to Sydney after making a speedy return from shoulder surgery..........McKenzie will be available for selection this weekend...........First-year midfielder Mitch Owens also suffered a concussion against the Lions in his third AFL game.............and is set to be ruled out for this weekend.
Last week's sub Marcus Windhager should come under consideration for an immediate recall to the 22 after producing a strong performance in the VFL, collecting 32 disposals, 12 clearances six inside 50s and two goals for Sandringham.............

I find the De Goey fine a bit weird, and definitely a mixed message.
Clubs seem to have no problem fining players $5,000, and "collecting" it straight away.
$25,000 is obviously significantly higher, but to have the whole amount suspended just seems ridiculous.
It seems to say ....
"Where going to have to REALLY punish you big this time ....... but if you can be good for the rest of the year, we'll let you off".
Any Collingwood player that has been fined in the past few years, and had to pay straight away will probably be pretty miffed right now!

I find it amusing that players wanted a bye due to the arduous notion of playing the whole season without a break to recuperate ...
- next thing I read about is a future uncontracted player heading to Bali on a midseason piss trip ... lol ...
- that mindset tells me everything I need to know about him ...

I wonder if it's Collingwood covering their own butts.
I'd say that JDG would of had to have told Collingwood that he was going to Bali on his week off, and the club would of have to have signed off on it.
In elite sports, every player has the same goal within the team, to deliver success to the club and other players would be filthy with the way he carry's on. Time to throw the phone away while having a sip Jordy.

Hopes for the same recovery period.....
I am no medical expert but I would of thought 2 weeks at least, he has a fractured cheekbone he is dealing with also. Just seems to be one of those players who is too brave/ reckless for his own good - he doesn't have any regard for his own safety which is a real worry given he is slightly built. Very talented player who I like watching play but I don't think I will ever own him again as you are always concerned that he is going to hurt himself the way he goes about it

I was trying to work out if his size actually matters ... and have two initial thoughts ....
- as a "pure" midfielder then yes .... maybe he needs a role change ... don't think Rozee can survive in there for very long either ....
- so we need some more full bodied mids ... Boak could swing in but won't last forever ...
- where does that leave us ... the trade table .... we need some mids ...
Wanganeen the "rubber man" won a brownlow and to me was sort of more reckless in a lot of the things that he did ..

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Paul Seedsman Concussion Ongoing Rory Sloane Knee Season Riley Thilthorpe Ankle Test Brett Turner Foot 1-2 weeksUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
Scans cleared Thilthorpe of any structural damage after he rolled an ankle in a marking contest against Gold Coast, with the forward/ruck to be on a modified program this week. Recruit Brett Turner will join training this week and is expected to play his first game for the Crows soon after arriving mid-season with a foot injury. – Nathan Schmook
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Darcy Gardiner Lungs 4 weeks Kai Lohmann Ankle Test Dayne Zorko Hamstring TestUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
Zorko took part in the Lions' main training session on Tuesday and got through it strongly, but his availability for Thursday night's blockbuster against Melbourne will come down to how he recovers over the ensuing 24 hours. – Michael Whiting
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Adam Cerra Hamstring 1 week David Cuningham Knee TBC Ed Curnow Calf 1-2 weeks Sam Durdin Knee 4 weeks Caleb Marchbank Knee 5-7 weeks Jack Martin Calf Test Oscar McDonald Back Season Mitch McGovern Hamstring 3-5 weeks Luke Parks Foot 6 weeks Marc Pittonet Knee 3 weeks Jacob Weitering Shoulder 3 weeks Zac Williams Calf 5-7 weeksUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
The Blues will be without another key defender for the next month, after Durdin was injured on debut. Martin is still an outside chance to feature this weekend, but Cerra is another week away. McGovern, Pittonet and Weitering are still the best part of a month away from comebacks. – Riley Beveridge
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Charlie Dean Foot Available Brodie Grundy Knee 4 weeks Nathan Kreuger Shoulder Season Jack Madgen Shoulder Test Reef McInnes Shoulder Season Tom Wilson Back SeasonUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
Mature-age recruit Dean is set to play his first game in black and white in the VFL this Saturday after completing his recovery from a foot issue that arose on the eve of the season, just when he was set for a senior debut. Madgen is likely to play in the VFL after recovering from a shoulder injury. Grundy is building up his running and developing his strength in the gym as he aims for a round 18 return from a PCL injury. – Josh Gabelich

Early prognosis
The Bombers could regain Parish following his calf injury, but McGrath is out with an adductor issue. Reid is a test due to an ankle concern, while Stewart will miss weeks with a foot injury. – Dejan Kalinic
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Blake Acres Hamstring TBC Jye Amiss Kidney Inactive Heath Chapman Hamstring 1-2 weeks Nathan O'Driscoll Foot TBA Sam Switkowski Back TBA Josh Treacy Ankle TBAUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
Switkowski has a stress fracture in his back and faces an uncertain recovery timeframe. He requires a period of no running and a follow-up scan before being cleared to resume training. Treacy's ankle injury is a high grade lateral ligament injury, but he has avoided syndesmosis damage. Chapman is not yet ready to return from a standard hamstring injury. – Nathan Schmook
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Jon Ceglar Foot Test Patrick Dangerfield Calf Test Shaun Higgins General soreness Available Flynn Kroeger Wrist TBC Brandan Parfitt Hand 3 weeks Gary Rohan H&S protocols Available Sam Simpson Concussion TBC Paul Tsapatolis Ankle TBC James Willis Knee TBCUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
Brownlow medallist Dangerfield is likely to return for Saturday's blockbuster against Richmond at the MCG after the club chose to put the midfielder through an extra week of training rather than taking him across to Perth to face West Coast. Rohan has been cleared to play after exiting the AFL's health and safety protocols, while Higgins could play for the first time since round seven. Parfitt is going through a conditioning block while his hand recovers from surgery after he broke it against the Western Bulldogs before the bye. – Josh Gabelich
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Connor Budarick Hamstring Test Josh Corbett Hip Test Joel Jeffrey Knee TBC Ben King Knee Season Jack Lukosius Knee 2 weeks Wil Powell Ankle Season Bodhi Uwland Back Indefinite Lachie Weller Knee SeasonUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
Good and bad news for the Suns. Budarick's hamstring problem is not as bad as first feared and he's now an outside chance to play Port Adelaide on Sunday. Jeffrey suffered a lateral meniscus tear late in the win over Adelaide and will undergo surgery. The Suns will then be in a better position to determine how long he misses. – Michael Whiting
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Leek Aleer Calf 3-4 weeks Ryan Angwin Leg 8 weeks Jack Buckley Knee 3-4 weeks Finn Callaghan Foot TBC Brent Daniels Hamstring TBC Matt de Boer Concussion TBC Josh Fahey Shoulder Season Matt Flynn Quad 2-3 weeks Bobby Hill Testicular cancer Indefinite Jacob Hopper Knee 2 weeks Daniel Lloyd Arm Test James Peatling Hamstring 2-3 weeks Harry Perryman Ribs Indefinite Braydon Preuss Suspension Round 16 Conor Stone Hamstring 3-4 weeksUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
The Giants can't take a trick with confirmation debutant Angwin and impressive youngster Peatling would both miss time following injuries against the Western Bulldogs at the weekend. After a long stint on the sidelines, Lloyd is a test to play this weekend and could be available to face Collingwood. – Michael Whiting
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Tyler Brockman Shoulder Season Connor Downie Hamstring 3-5 weeks Sam Frost Knee 3-5 weeks Jack Gunston Ankle Test Emerson Jeka Hamstring Test Mitch Lewis Knee Available Ned Long Hamstring Test Max Lynch Concussion Test Ben McEvoy Neck TBC Seamus Mitchell Ankle Season Tom Phillips Ankle Available Josh Ward Concussion TestUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
Gunston and Lewis are set to be available for Friday night's clash against the Western Bulldogs after missing the trip to Western Australia before the bye. Key defender Frost is set to miss the next month after injuring his knee against the Dockers. Long, Jeka and Phillips are all set to return in the VFL this weekend if they pass fitness tests.

Early prognosis
The Demons will be without ruck options Gawn and Daw for around a month each, while key defender Turner is set to undergo surgery and will also be sidelined for about four weeks. McDonald is facing a race against the clock to return this season, having been ruled out for close to three months. Steven May (club suspension) will return this weekend, while Melksham should also be passed fit to play. – Riley Beveridge

Early prognosis
The Kangaroos expect Bonar, McKay and Zurhaar to return this weekend. The club's mid-season recruit, Dawson, is also likely to make his VFL debut after arriving at Arden Street with a minor injury. Polec is still a bit of time away from a comeback, while the injured Ziebell joins the suspended duo Horne-Francis and Young on the sidelines. – Riley Beveridge

PLAYER Noah Balta Hamstring 2-4 weeks Trent Cotchin Clavicle 1-3 weeks Dustin Martin Illness Test Robbie Tarrant Hand TestUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
Martin is highly likely to play against Geelong, having been training since Saturday following an illness. Tarrant, meanwhile, is touch-and-go, given he had minor hand surgery at the start of the week. Cotchin will have a plate inserted to support his collarbone, with a more accurate timeline to be set after that operation, while Balta has re-injured his hamstring but in a different spot. – Sarah Black
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Jack Bytel Foot 1-2 weeks Nick Coffield ACL Season Jarryn Geary Shoulder 2 weeks Dan Hannebery Calf TBC Jack Hayes Knee Season Daniel McKenzie Concussion Available Mitch Owens Concussion TBC Jack Steele Shoulder TestUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
St Kilda is set to be boosted by the return of captain Steele for the trip to Sydney to face the Swans. The dual Therabody All-Australian has missed four games since undergoing shoulder surgery. McKenzie has passed concussion protocols and will be available for selection, but Owens is yet to exit the protocols and is expected to miss. – Josh Gabelich
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Peter Ladhams Suspension Round 16 Josh Kennedy Hamstring 5-7 weeks Sam Naismith Knee Season Angus Sheldrick Knee TestUpdated: June 21, 2022

Early prognosis
McGovern has undergone surgery to insert a plate on his broken ribs and is now recovering after three nights in hospital. Naitanui trained fully on Tuesday and looks close to making a full recovery from a medial ligament injury. Tim Kelly, Liam Ryan and Samo Petrevski-Seton have all recovered from illness and returned to the club after missing round 14. – Nathan Schmook
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Taylor Duryea Knee 6-8 weeks Tim English Concussion 1-2 weeks Mitch Hannan Concussion Test Stefan Martin Shoulder Test Toby McLean Knee Test Charlie Parker Hamstring 4-6 weeks Bailey Smith Suspension Round 18 Laitham Vandermeer Hamstring 2-3 weeks Cody Weightman Elbow TestUpdated: June 21, 2022
Early prognosis
With his history of concussion and a Thursday game in round 16, English could miss two matches after suffering a delayed concussion following the win over GWS last week. Duryea has avoided a dreaded ACL tear, but will like be out until finals, while Weightman is unlikely after a gruesome elbow injury last week. In good news, Toby McLean will return in the VFL this week after recovering from his second ACL injury. - Ben Sutton

*Placed on the club's long-term injury list
Star Carlton defender Jacob Weitering is a chance to make an early return from a shoulder injury, according to Sportsday’s co-host Sam McClure.
Weitering has been sidelined since Round 11 after sustaining the setback against Collingwood, which saw him subsequently undergo surgery.
While originally expected to be on the sidelines for six weeks, McClure believes the 24-year-old could only miss one more game before making his return in Round 16.
“Carlton is playing St Kilda next week (on Friday night),” he said on Sportsday.
“Track watchers are telling me today that Jacob Weitering is not far away from playing in that game and that would be unbelievable.
“He’s been doing some serious sessions on the track.”
Weitering has become one of Carlton’s most important players, with his absence being particularly felt as a result of the club’s defensive injury crisis.
The likes of Oscar McDonald, Mitch McGovern, Zac Williams, Caleb Marchbank and mid-season draftee Sam Durdin are all currently on the sidelines due to injury.
