Interesting it was diagnosed at the start of last years finals
Imagine how much pressure he was under, not long back from injury etc, then all this in the family. Then all the other crap in the off season
I only heard this late in the season that his sister was unwell... I heard it was cancer - not quite reading this, but still very unwell...
Hope she is able to get the treatment she needs to get well
Agree its a lovely picture of them. Robbo seems to genuinely like Nick from the interactions I've heard from him and often defending him etc. Nick obviously agreed to do this interview with him....

History repeats.
Can see why Nick was struggling on the field in last years finals.
Reminiscent of Stewie Lowe spending GF eve at his sisters bedside.
And Nicky's father dying a day (or two?) before the GF.
Talk about bad timing!

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

True but the article is full of quotes from Nick and has a posed pic.stmac35 wrote:I'm surprised this was published. She has a public twitter account and has been quite open about being ill. I assumed that it was not being spoken about in the media out of respect...
Would have been printed with his blessing

I heard that the Riewoldt family actually found this out between last years two grand finals. Obviously Nick was distracted for the replay.
My best wishes go to Madelaine.
And Nick, you are a stong man to endure the last twelve months. A worthy leader of our club.

"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

I see brave battles go on everyday in my workplace.
The families are drawn together and are so tight knit .
The strongest of them all is the one battling the illness, the inner strenght they have to accept their illness is just unbelieveable, they are often the strong ones and get us all through our daily tasks.
All the best to the Riewoldt Family.
