Heard the same on the radio this morning.
You are a nasty one plugger
Tugger66 is <edited>. Can't stand the idea that someone might have a better insight/info than him.
He has cut down anyone on here who claims to have insider knowledge.
Are you serious. I would report the post but you obviously have some issues that need attending straight away for the sake of the family. Disgusting thing to say about anyone. Weak as water because if I have a go back I am certain to get a warning because people as weak as you would dob me in. Get help.
Piss off Tugger. All I want to do is come on here and talk about the Saints with people that love the saints. Not cut my way through 5+ pages of you having a pissing contest with someone all the bloody time.
So many good posters have left because of people like you.
Saintjake have you tried the foe feature yet? The site is so much better with plungers posts ignored. The only crap he posts that I have to put up with are the posts that get quoted.
If we all just put him on ignore it will be almost as good as finally getting rid of him.
ROBERT HARVEY A.K.A The Great Man, Banger, Harves, Ol' Man River...
384 games, 4 B&F's, 3 EJ Whitten Medals, St.Kilda Captain, 2 Time Brownlow Medalist, 8 Time All Australian, 2nd Highest Brownlow votes poller.... The greatest of ALL TIME!!

I had no idea it existed.
Where can I find it? Thanks for the advice!

Now granted I'm filling in blanks here but Roo is under an injury cloud and would pbly benefit from one to two weeks off...
We have McCartin, Lee, Membrey, White (though he's not playing well), Goddard etc all trying to get in blah blah blah
Now granted Lee is playing back, Pad and Hugh did play etc
Lets just not play him if he could instead so with a rest
And im sure that will happen. If he is fit enough to get through a game then he plays, if he isn't he wont. Not many if any players would be 100% fit at this stage of the season

Thanks for the update Tony. I'm not surprised he is in a better place than this time last week. He would not have played if he was carrying any sort of muscle 'strain' last week. There is no way you can launch for marks/land/any sort of high level performance with a calf 'strain', you don't need to be asports doc to figure that out. The fact he ran out the game and didn't 'reinjure' whatever he 'injured' in the first place was the best sign he'll be fine.
But he did have a strain which they confirmed via a scan...
Pretty sure he wouldn't have played if it wasn't for the occasion.
His opponent Chaplin said he was on one leg, but got through the game on footy smarts.
"Strain" or whatever terminology they use, it would have been so minor on an MRI scan could have been an number of different pathologies...would have healed up or have been so minor by game day i think he would have played regardless of occassion. What else would Chaplin say, he was being complimentary. I watched closely at him take off for marks/land and he wasn't hindered...anyway it's a mute point...I'll reiterate my orgininal point, the fact he ran out the game, thats the best indicator that he'd be right to get up for a winnable game...he could badically do nothing but skills all week and be right to play if he had sufficient rehab therapy.

While I respect that you are a medical professional...
You said he couldn't play with any sort of "strain" which is exactly what they said was confirmed in a scan, which I can't imagine could heal in a week?
I think Chaplin was saying that Riewoldt was clearly hampered by an injury which he brought into the game.
There is no way they would have risked a 30+ year old with recent calf problems had it not been an exceptional week for him IMO.
I guess none of us have seen the scan results so are guessing on the strain grade, but I think he'll miss this week FWIW.

Still going. 4 posts in a row. The good thing about the ignore is only soft people use it. I thought you would be certain. And I get to say what I want and don't have the softies calling you the C word like both these disgusting posters did all because they don't like to be disagreed with. How they got through school without getting puched up is beyond me. They probably did and that is why they use the C word when they are anonymous posters. Disgusting people.
[quote="dragit"][quote="dragit"]I could be completely wrong, it happens all the time [/quote]
Riewoldt looks pretty good, looks like I was wrong again.[/quote]
I didn't believe the club that Roo was a big chance of playing but he looked fantastic today with his movement

If you like. Are you upset with me disagreeing with you about wearing our indigenous jumper every game? We really have some posters who don't like being challenged on here. By the way I don't like anyone bumping when they are right. How boring is that. If you are going to do it though please bump the times you are wrong.
By the way I actually like Tony. He helps at our club which is more than I certainly do and probably most if not all on here do. Anyone who helps us deserves applause as far as im concerned but I will say what I feel even after giving him credit.
