AFL 2025: Alastair Clarkson on concussed young gun George Wardlaw
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson says he won't take 'take the beast out' of hard-nosed midfielder George Wardlaw despite yet another concussion setback. Wardlaw sustained a third concussion in 12 months during the Kangaroos' disappointing loss to Hawthorn on Saturday. He will enter the concussion protocols but could sit on the sidelines for longer as North Melbourne prioritises the health of its young star. Wardlaw was seemingly in good health at training on Tuesday, completing some running away from the main group. Clarkson says every footballer runs the risk of injury and has no intention of changing the way Wardlaw attacks the contest. 'He's been asked this question plenty of times, what do you change with him? He's habitual, it's the way he plays his footy,' he said. 'You just hope over time he gathers a bit more awareness, a little bit more luck, a bit stronger in his body, perhaps. 'I try to take the beast out of the way that he plays and you won't have the same George Wardlaw. 'That's the risk we all have when we play the game, hope he gets a good run of luck.' George Wardlaw was concussed early in the match against Hawthorn. Picture: James Wiltshire/AFL Photos via Getty Images Wardlaw was not the only Roo away from the main group on Tuesday, with Luke Parker absent from the track. Clarkson says the short turnaround between the Hawks and Western Bulldogs this Thursday is forcing the Roos to limit the training of a few sore bodies. North Melbourne trains again on Wednesday and will put several players through a fitness test ahead of selection. 'We've got a whole heap of guys because it's such a short break, we trained today and most of those guys were able to do something,' Clarkson said. 'It's just getting them moving a bit, we'll train tomorrow and then select our side tomorrow night. '(Parker) is one of those guys that we need to test tomorrow, some of them didn't come out on the track at all today or they did very, very light duties on the side. 'They'll present tomorrow with another 24 hours of recovery (and) see how we go. We'll have a couple of certainties out … George and Jack Darling. 'We'll test a couple others tomorrow, see how they pull up and if they're no good we'll just go in with fresh guys.'

Secure Code Warrior unveils free AI security rules for developers
Secure Code Warrior has released AI Security Rules on GitHub, offering developers a free resource aimed at improving code security when working with AI coding tools. The resource is designed for use with a variety of AI coding tools, including GitHub Copilot, Cline, Roo, Cursor, Aider, and Windsurf. The newly available rulesets are structured to provide security-focused guidance to developers who are increasingly using AI to assist with code generation and development processes. Secure Code Warrior's ongoing goal is to enable developers to produce more secure code from the outset when leveraging AI, aligning with broader efforts to embed security awareness and best practices across development workflows. The company emphasises that developers who possess a strong understanding of security can potentially create much safer and higher-quality code with AI assistance, compared to those who lack such proficiency. Security within workflow "These guardrails add a meaningful layer of defence, especially when developers are moving fast, multitasking, or find themselves trusting AI tools a little too much," said Pieter Danhieux, Secure Code Warrior Co-Founder & CEO. "We've kept our rules clear, concise and strictly focused on security practices that work across a wide range of environments, intentionally avoiding language or framework-specific guidance. Our vision is a future where security is seamlessly integrated into the developer workflow, regardless of how code is written. This is just the beginning." The AI Security Rules offer what the company describes as a pragmatic and lightweight baseline that can be adopted by any developer or organisation, regardless of whether they are a Secure Code Warrior customer. The rules are presented in a way that reduces reliance on language- or framework-specific advice, allowing broad applicability. Features and flexibility The rulesets function as secure defaults, guiding AI tools away from hazardous coding patterns and well-known security pitfalls such as unsafe use of functions like eval, insecure authentication methods, or deployment without parameterised queries. The rules are grouped by development domain—including web frontend, backend, and mobile—so that developers in varied environments can benefit. They are designed to be adaptable and can be incorporated with AI coding tools that support external rule files. Another feature highlighted is the public availability and ease of adjustment, meaning development teams of any size or configuration can tailor the rules to their workflow, technology stack, or project requirements. This is intended to foster consistency and collaboration within and between development teams when reviewing or generating AI-assisted code. Supplementary content The introduction of the AI Security Rules follows several recent releases from Secure Code Warrior centred around artificial intelligence and large language model (LLM) security. These include four new courses—such as "Coding With AI" and "OWASP Top 10 for LLMs"—along with six interactive walkthrough missions, upwards of 40 new AI Challenges, and an expanded set of guidelines and video content. All resources are available on-demand within the Secure Code Warrior platform. This rollout represents the initial phase of a broader initiative to provide ongoing training and up-to-date resources supporting secure development as AI technologies continue to be integrated into software engineering practices. The company states that additional related content is already in development and is expected to be released in the near future. Secure Code Warrior's efforts align with increasing industry focus on the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, as the adoption of AI coding assistants becomes widespread. The emphasis on clear, practical security rules is intended to help mitigate common vulnerabilities that can be introduced through both manual and AI-assisted programming. The AI Security Rules are publicly available on GitHub for any developers or organisations wishing to incorporate the guidance into their existing development operations using compatible AI tools.
