AFL Player Signs Contract About Concussions

AFL news is here.

The news came out on Thursday, August 6, 2026.

The AFL Players Association is looking into a report about a player who signed a contract that says his club is not responsible for any future brain injuries.

In short, this is about a player and his club.

A report said an AFL player signed a contract with his club that says the club is not responsible if the player gets hurt again.

The report said the player signed this contract two years ago because he had gotten hurt many times before.

What happens next?

The AFL Players Association is talking to the AFL about this contract, and there is a big court case coming up next year about concussions.

The AFL Players Association is talking to the AFL because a club in Victoria made a player with many concussions sign a contract that says the player is responsible for any future injuries.

The club made the player sign this contract so the club would not get in trouble if the player got hurt again.

This deal was made with a player who still plays in the AFL, and it happened two years ago.

The club thought this was the only way the player could keep playing because he had gotten hurt so many times.

The contract said the player would take all the risk of getting hurt again.

It also said the player was more likely to get hurt again and could get very badly hurt if it happened.

Many people are upset about this contract, including those who help players with concussions and the AFL Players Association, who did not know about it.

The head of the AFL Players Association said clubs cannot make players sign contracts that say the club is not responsible for the player's safety.

One player had to stop playing because of head injuries, and now he is fighting for money to help him.

No player can play again unless a doctor says it is safe.

We are talking to the AFL to understand what happened and to make sure it does not happen again.

Head injuries are a big problem in the AFL.

Many players had to stop playing because of head injuries.

Some players who died were found to have a brain disease that can happen when you get hurt many times.

There is a big court case coming up next year about concussions in the AFL.
