The AFL fans association says any unsold GWS tickets to the AFL grand final - should the Giants make it that far - should be given to opposition and not added to the corporate allocation.The league sets aside 15,000 tickets to the members of each grand final participant, an allocation which rarely satisfies the demand of qualifying clubs.But with just 6,200 of the Giants 15,312 members purchasing tickets for this weekends home preliminary, it seems unlikely they would require their allocation for the decider, should they qualify by beating Western Bulldogs on Saturday night.The association is fearful the AFL will then add those unsold tickets to the 17,000 put aside for corporates last year, denying fans from either Sydney or Geelong a fair crack at tickets.We dont want a situation where GWS or the AFL funnels any left-over tickets to corporates, association president Gerry Eeman said.It will diminish the atmosphere and infuriate the members of the other competing team who miss out on buying tickets.The move comes as the fans association continue to lobby the AFL for a higher percentage of tickets allocated to club members for the biggest day in the codes calendar.Only the Gold Coast, GWS and Brisbane have less than 30,000 members - double that of the figure allocated at the MCG for the match.Of the other remaining teams, Sydney have 56,000, Geelong 51,000 and the Western Bulldogs 39,000.

Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. NEW YORK -- The NFL will review how the Panthers medical team handled a hit to Cam Newtons head during Carolinas loss to Denver in the season opener.The league said Sunday that it wants to ensure the concussion protocol is being uniformly applied across all 32 teams.So along with the players association, the NFL will review the relevant documents and video and interview the involved parties.Newton took several hard hits in Thursday nights game, including four helmet to helmet and one after which he appeared woozy. The union has questioned why Newton didnt undergo a cognitive exam on the sideline during the game.Newton was tested four times for a concussion -- after the game in the locker room; on the bus; on the flight home; and Friday morning at the stadium -- and all proved to be negative. He was never tested during the game.NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy reiterated in his statement Sunday that this review does not mean that we haave seen any evidence that the protocol was applied improperly, but simply reflects our obligation to ensure the health and safety of our players.ddddddddddddThe biggest hit on Newton was by safety Darian Stewart on Carolinas final possession, leaving the QB motionless on the ground for several seconds. Newton stayed in and led the Panthers into field goal range, although Graham Gano missed a 50-yard attempt that would have given Carolina the lead.Stewart said after the game he felt as if he led with his shoulder, not his head.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he didnt see a need to sit Newton after the hit.Im not going to question the doctors, OK? There is a protocol, Rivera said.Now, the NFL is looking into how well that protocol was followed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
