Geelong has been handed a belated 'please explain' notice from the AFL after initially avoiding sanction over its controversial secret deal with defender Jake Kolodjashnij, a player with a history of concussions.
In 2024, Geelong struck a secret agreement with Kolodjashnij, who on Friday evening identified himself as the player in question, whereby he took on legal responsibility for future brain trauma in a bid to exonerate the club and its medical staff from court action down the line.
