Grundy Ruled Out as Concussion Protocols End 47-Game Streak

Delayed concussion symptoms have moved him into mandatory AFL protocols, ruling him out of Sunday’s SCG fixture.

Overview

  • Brodie Grundy suffered a late collision in Round 22 at the Gabba, passed initial head injury assessments and then reported delayed symptoms on Sunday.
  • He has entered the AFL’s mandatory concussion protocols and will sit out Sydney’s match against Geelong, ending his run of 47 consecutive games.
  • The two-time All-Australian and leading Bob Skilton Medal contender must be cleared through daily assessments before returning to selection contention.
  • Winger Justin McInerney sustained a suspected PCL injury in the same match and awaits scan results that could rule him out for the rest of the season.
  • Under coach Dean Cox, the Swans have won seven of their past nine games to climb to 10th on the ladder, two victories outside a finals berth.
