In the final episode of Season 01 of Unsociable Game, we head to AFL House to speak with the AFL’s Peter Harcourt, about just how they are addressing concussion at the game’s community levels. Nicole Hayes and Professor John Olver offer some parting thoughts about the future policy direction of the game, while I reflect on what I have learnt over the past few episodes.
