Should Roo relinquish the Captaincy for 2012?

Finey mentioned last night on Final Siren that Riewoldt has been struggling from a personal issue all year, he didn't continue any further than that. Anyone know what he's talking about? I assume it's not the photo scandal as I expect that is done and dusted.

It was mentioned on the forum earlier in the year but I can't remember the details. You could do a search but from what I recall it was a personal matter that is really of no concern to us.

But NO, it was nothing to do with the photo scandal, or Kim Duthie for that matter.

Yeah it's been alluded to on here before

He isn't superhuman, hope everyone at the club is keeping an eye on his coping dial.

Degenerative knee injury

Fair to say he will not be a superstar anymore. We relied on his endurance, running and athleticsm. The rotting knee will prevent him from playing his best football ever again.

This is Nick Riewoldts worst nightmare, a career cut short with injury.
