When Roo took that hit ....

It didn't look like much ... but the close up of Roo's face afterwards ... Gee one of the most sickening things I have seen in football .... I can't explain it but it gave me the shivers

It was heart-in-mouth stuff, the first thing I noticed was his leg stiffen up which was very worrying... not to mention his eyes.

But it was amazing how he just willed himself out of it, and was right back in the action.

I was so scared I saw my life flash before my eyes. But boy did he turn it on once he picked himself up.

I've just seen the vision on Sky News.
Sickening.
Took my brain a half second to register that he finished the match strong and I heard him interviewed post match on MMM to say "All's good"

About what time in which quarter? Just got home from the game and want to check it out on replay.

Didn't notice at the ground for some reason.

Very Osbourne-esque...looked ugly. Certainly hope there's no ill effects during the week. Bloody Kosi!

It was an errant elbow, not the collision of bodies, not much anyone could of done about it.

Right in front of us in the members.
He looked wonky on his feet.
Thought he was stuffed.

But he's made of tough stuff our skipper!

no way.

kosi hit that contest as if it was an opposition player dropping in front of him, not Roo!


see the way roo dropped back for kosi in the last for how it should be done.

Thank god roo has a brain.


I bought a shirt from Target once.
It had a hard tag on it too.

This incident led to the first time I have told off a kid at the footy. We had a family of Saints next to us with a dogs supporter. The kids (around 12-13 maybe) were doing the usual silly comments to each other, which is fine to ignore.

However when Roo went down and was twitching the dogs supporter said she hoped he was really hurt. Turned to her and told her off saying thats horrible and that you should never say such a thing. Others around did the same.

I felt bad afterwards but at the same time she needed to know there are some things that cross the boundary! For those few seconds when it looked like he was in real serious trouble I think its terrible for someone to cheer that, regardless of their age!

They were feral! I don't understand why they don't just support their team rather than make disgusting comments about opposition players :roll:

My only concern was that mum might get into a bit of a punch up when she confronted them! :lol:

Not Kosi's fault. Riewoldt needs to pull back sometime

We thought he was having a fit, looked shocking, my heart was in my mouth. I always feel for the family when those sort of things happen.

Yeah, it was pretty sickening. Was probably KO'd for a second there. Was really really surprised the trainers let him run off like he did since in the end it's all just a game and you don't want to see ANYONE get seriously injured.

I'm of the mind that he should have at least come off and gotten checked, but there's no stopping the superstar once he's mind is set to a task.

He was, albeit a small one. Looking at the replay, the knock was to the back of his head whilst he was still in the air. At the match, I thought he may have hit his head on the ground. Clearly his brain was shaken - a few electrical impulses were sent out - a fit - but everything seemed OK. I suppose they will send him for an MRI.
