Concussion crisis deepens at Geelong as PR fallout from unreported side deal raises transparency concerns

‘The AFL cannot avoid this’ as the concussion issue intensifies at Geelong Football Club.

Kate Engler, the publicity princess, discusses the PR fallout from Geelong’s side deal with a player.
