Geelong confirms Jake Kolodjashnij will not play VFL or AFL this weekend amid concussion waiver saga

In short:

Geelong defender Jake Kolodjashnij will not play at either VFL or AFL level this weekend as he and the club continue to face the spotlight over the concussion waiver in his contract.

Geelong had until the end of Tuesday to respond to the AFL's 'please explain' over the secret waiver, which was revealed last week but had not been lodged with the AFL or known about by the AFLPA.

The Cats put out a statement confirming that Kolodjashnij would not be considered for selection this weekend, saying his care and wellbeing remained the club's priority.
