just found this. i hope its enforced.


Any player who accumulates a total of at least 16 weeks of suspensions over the course of his career will be automatically deregistered from the AFL and barred from any further participation.

That relates to being reported by an umpire or the video review process.

AFAIK this issue does not relate to that law of the game.

In the end, it was the players responsibility to inform the team Doctor that they were being asked to take injections, they did not, now they must pay the consequences.
