According to the club site:
Voss had set that as the condition for staying in the team. It looks as though he’ll be playing. Now we just have to see if he wears a protective glove. What the above statement doesn’t say is whether he trained with one or not. I’m guessing a fair amount of preparation goes into gaining an exemption for such protective equipment. You just can’t fit a metal plate to the back of a glove as it could end up being a weapon. Presumably, the AFL would have to sign off on it as is the case with arm guards.
