Geelong Fined $140k Over Secret Kolodjashnij Concussion Waiver

Published August 27, 2026 · Updated August 27, 2026 · The Guardian

Geelong has been fined $140,000 by the AFL for failing to disclose a change to Jake Kolodjashnij's contract related to his concussion history.

The AFL has sanctioned Geelong for their handling of head injury risks with Jake Kolodjashnij, imposing a $140,000 fine for failing to lodge a contract variation. Despite the penalty, the league cleared the way for future concussion waivers, finding no issue with clubs seeking to mitigate legal exposure regarding players with concussion histories.

Commission chair Craig Drummond had previously described the Cats' actions as a "waiver," which remained undisclosed to the league. The AFL's decision sets a precedent for how similar situations may be handled in the future regarding concussion management protocols. livefromquarantine.club
