He was out cold FFS.

Re: SUB ROO OFF NOW!!!
Do me a favour Richo, and don't play Roo next week- it is ridiculous the way our players are obsessed with kicking to Roo when they should be kicking at goals

This. The way we play through him is detrimental to the team. We need to float him across half back or something, it's amateur hour everytime we go forward and kick it to himspert wrote:Do me a favour Richo, and don't play Roo next week- it is ridiculous the way our players are obsessed with kicking to Roo when they should be kicking at goals

He was seeing stars and had absolutely zero idea what was going on in that 2nd and 3rd qr.
Clear breach of the 'concussion rules' if there are any.
And our obsession with kicking to him and ignoring other leads was on full display tonight.
Coach should have said - dont kick it to Roo - he is concussed - but he can be a decoy and look for someone else.
Of course big egos and small brains prevented this happening.
No doubt Ill be howled down by the usual club apologists with the usual 'the club and medical staff know best' crap. Just like they knew best with Gilbert and Hickey.

Re: SUB ROO OFF NOW!!!
Whilst I would have subbed him out, I think you are selling the doctor short.
He has a professional duty of care and I doubt he would risk his lively hood just so as Roo can stay on the field.
Think I might back the doctor in over the resident keyboard medical doctors.

Re: SUB ROO OFF NOW!!!
They did play Roberton on a stuffed ankle which he reinjured then in another game failed to take him off despite the field announcers immediately seeing he did know where he was after the game. I actually worry about them ATM.

Same Drs that thought Gilbo and Hickey were all clear to play?
And was it Doctors or some 'other' quasi-medical staff on duty? We all know Doctors are under a lot of pressure to do what the coach tells them during game -

Couldn't believe going forward how much we went to roo! It was so predictable. They just double teamed him and we were stuffed..jonesy wrote:This.

Re: SUB ROO OFF NOW!!!
Yep - couple of times it wasn't kicked to him but he still flew at it from a very unlikely position possibly spoiling the team mate under it in the process.

Yeah I saw he knocked it out of Stanley's mitts. The ball turned over and went back the other way.
Re: SUB ROO OFF NOW!!!
Same with Armo going back on after getting stiches in his knee. And Gilbo and Steven being rushed back. Jeez we're not playing for finals. It should be absolute conservatism. Richardson worries me a bit how hard he is pushing this team sometime. Players looked exhausted last week after coming back from NZ. Maybe knowing what a hot seat it is to be the ST Kilda coach he's desperate for wins. We are not in Port Adelaide's position yet. Lets just chill out a bit and err on the side of caution. The prize for that approach is probably higher draft picks. Win win!Con Gorozidis wrote:Eyes rolled to back of his head and the shakes.

Re: SUB ROO OFF NOW!!!
It's interesting because it actually highlights a reason why Roo either needs to retire or play a different position... PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG, I ADVOCATE FOR NEITHER!!!!
As a player on our team, he is so far ahead of the next best that it actually in itself presents a problem. How can our kids that want to win games NOT kick it to him when he is so clearly the best option. This highlights an aspect of our developing team that's not growing together.
Now I love Roo, my fav Saint of all time. Don't want him to ever retire. Not making any suggestion that he should.
Do ppl think this could be an issue?
