Riewoldt injury info from "On the Couch"
Mike Sheahan and Hirdy were discussing Rooey's injury on "On the Couch" tonight. It apparently is 10cm from the bone, not a 10cm gash lengthwise. Hird spoke to the surgeon and they think it probable that he will be back this year. It all depends on the healing process. I have to say they weren't overly optimistic; but then again, we will just have to wait an see.

I hope so. The thing is that no one knows yet. We have to let time go by. Everyone thought Fisher wouldn't play till round 8. Who would have thought he would be back last week?
I think St. Kilda must prepare and plan as if Riewoldt was never there and may not come back. I feel strongly he will be back, but we must prepare a structure that doesn't have him in the side. I still feel we could win the flag without him.

All very speculative, people.
Give it a fortnight, then we'll have an idea.

Heally started the whole discussion by saying that he had discussed with Matt Richardson on 3AW about a similar injury he had sustained & how long it took for HIM to get back. Richo said he sustained his injury in Rd4 but was unable to resume until Rd20. As he was approaching the end of his career, he wanted to give himself every chance of resuming ASAP.sainterinsydney wrote:I hope so. The thing is that no one knows yet. We have to let time go by.

He wasn't right to go though. He alluded to the fact that maybe ROO should be very conservative & maybe consider thinking of next year instead as he has many fruitfull years of footy ahead.
Richo loves Roo so there's no reason to ridicule his opinion but I would assume the surgeons who started digging & stitching away today will have a better idea of how long Roo will be out.
Injuries are all different.
In our favour also; Richo was about 6 yrs older than Roo when the injuries were sustained and Roo has a good record for recovery.

4 months is just speculation at this early stage..a few weeks might be required to ascertain how its likely to play out..extra scans etcSaintsfan wrote:if it is a 4 month injury what will two weeks do?Thinline wrote:All very speculative, people.

Derrr that's what I sa.... I mean good point I agree.3rd generation saint wrote:Let's not forget Richo was well into his 30's with his injury.
Roo is younger and has no history of soft tissue injury so I would be safe to assume his recovery will be shorter than Richo's.

Richo was 34
7 years difference... big difference regarding recovery imo

Get a grip on it people.
No one on this site knows when he will be back.
Comparing Fishers time out to Roos is just plain dumb.
Only Roo and the surgeons know the truth.
If he is back this year then thats great.
Not a damn thing anyone on here can do.
Pipe dreams of eight, ten weeks are pie in the sky stuff.
You are not medicos.
Post only when we know the facts and until them stop wasting internet space.
Harsh word but we all need to get a grip on reality.
If he does come back this year he will be so underdone, lack fitness, pace, leg strength, reduce explosive pace.
It takes a long time to rebuild that.
Regards.

It's the round 20 prediction that is a real worry. Over the course of the weekend, it has gone from a four week injury to six weeks, eight weeks, ten weeks, twelve weeks and now seventeen weeks. While he hasn't torn his hamstring off the bone, it sounds like he's done the next worse thing.
Oh well. While I'm not deranged enough to suggest that this is a blessing in disguise, there is that old saying 'where there is crisis, there is opportunity'.

I was thinking this exact same thing as I was watching the show.mullet wrote:If Rooey's surgeon has spoken to James Hird about Rooeys surgery then isnt this against the hypocratic oath.
I would find it really hard to believe that a Doctor would talk to someone not directly related to the patient about the prognosis.
If this is true then Rooey needs to look for a new doctor.
Where's Roo's privacy?? As much as we all want to know, surely Hirdy can't just ring his old mate the Dr, and say "Hey, what's the go with Roo's knee" and be given all the facts, but he seems to have them all...very strange.
Hirdy seemed to be more optomistic about Roo coming back and making a contribution than Healy (with his physio background). Not that Gerard was saying he coudn't get back, more that the club might decide not to risk him if it was very late anyway when he got back so as not to risk him long term. This was similar to what Robbo was saying earlier. I don't agree with that. If they are doing well leading into finals and he gets the all clear, he will play...I don't think there is much doubt about that.
