The AFL chairman apologises after a concussion contract arrangement becomes the focus of a controversy. Craig Drummond, who was Geelong’s president when the deal was signed, says the situation has gone too far and he apologises for his role in the matter.
Drummond says he will not be involved in any future AFL deliberations related to the contract. The reporting across outlets presents the same core account: Drummond’s position at the time of signing, his public apology, and his decision to step away from subsequent discussions.
While the outlets’ wording emphasizes the idea that “the club went too far,” they align on the main facts and the direction of his response. None of the sources introduce materially different details about the contract itself, instead centering on his acknowledgement of the issue and his withdrawal from further AFL consideration of it.
