Firstly I'm not arrogant enough to think that my uneducated opinion with absolutely no first hand knowledge of the actual circustances involved could ever be taken seriously enough to question the ability and expertise of professionals employed by the Club.Winmar7Fan wrote:Mr Magic wrote:No I'm not I'm just someone with some common sense.Winmar7Fan wrote:I'm amazed.saint66au wrote:He can say it because our medical staff are experts in the field of sports injuries..and we are a bunch of nuffie footy fans who know nothing in comparisonWinmar7Fan wrote:How can you say that?

So you think If the doctors knew it was bad enough to spend games out injured they still would have allowed them out when the games were over anyway?
Yeah makes perfect sense to me.
Unless you are similarly qualified and experienced in sporting injuries, commenting like you do is a bit silly dont you think?[/quote]
Not at all it's very black and white to me.
2 good important players go off Injured. They come back on when the game was over and they didn't need to. Then the next week they're out because the injuries were serious enough to be side lined.
Let's just forget these meds are such experts there not human enough to make a wrong call.
Do you not see it as common sense to have not let Gilbert or Max back out now he's out missing matches from it?
I'm sure those meds said at the time " we're 6 goals up running all over them and your going to miss a couple of weeks from this but we'll strap you up and send you back out there anyway".
We've finally got a medical/fitness regime at the Club that has allowed us to have an unbelievable run with injuries, comething we've had a debacle with over the last 5 years and you're complaining that these people apparently have no idea what they're doing?
Are you so bored with winning that you are looking to create something to bitch about?
No medico/fitness guy would deliberately send a player out if they thought that player's injury would get worse by doing that. Yes it's possible for them to mis-diagnose an injury, but given their track record of the last 3 -6 months I'm prepared to take their opinion over someone's who wasn't there, didn't actually see the player in the flesh, but who is prepared to 'second-guess' the diagnosis/opinion of those who were on the spot.
BTW, what qualifications do you have to offer an opinion on these matters other than being a fan watching it on tv, or maybe at the actual game?
I'm really hoping that you are at least a physio with some experience in these type of injuries.Even if you are, how on earth can your diagnosis/opinion be more valid than those working at the Club who were actually there to assess the injuries on the spot?
Yes I'm more than happy with the way we are going with Injuries generally as our performance and everything else but I can't believe how blindly bias some of you have become.
This is very simple and bare in mind I couldn't give a F### about how qualified these Meds are I'll ask you this simple question a six year old could answer.
Now Max is out for how ever long do you think it was a good move to send him back out to play with this injury that's side lined him?
Especially when we had full control of the match.
Or do you need a 10 year degree in physio to be qualified to answer that one?
Secondly I don't have such an over-inflated opinion of my own self worth that I would dare label anybody as 'blindly bias' because they had the temerity to disagree with my own uneducated opinion.
Thirdly, isn't it about time you looked in the mirror and asked yourself:-
'If I'm such a genius at all of this, how come the AFL Clubs aren't knocking down my door wanting to employ me in my fields of expertise?'
I'm sure nobody cares that you post your opinion on subjects. That's what this forum is for - opinions.
But I certainly find it tiresome that you think you know so much you're prepared to 'lecture' the rest of us in an area you apparently have didly-squat knowledge on.
Another armchair genius who thinks his knowledge is supreior to those people who actually do more than just sit and criticise for criticism's sake.
For someone who professes to have 'common sense', on this topic, IMO, you show a distinct lack of it.
Here's an idea?
WHy don't you call the CLub on Monday and offer your services in this area. Afterall, according to you, the people we've got employed are lacking common sense and are obviously dangerous to the well-being of our players.
I'm sure that those in charge would welcome your offer to step in and fix this problem area.
And please make sure you inform them that you don't actually need to physically see the injury to diagnose it. You can tell by just watcing the player from a distance or on tv what the true diagnosis is and what the
risks are. No need to actually be up close and personal with the injured player!
