roo is a possible starter for the game against the cats after training with no pain in his knee.

f****** dr rent an opinion larkins should in my view be struck off for malpractice...the prick is continually giving his medical opinion on injuries when he has clearly not examined them himself....f****** disgraceful imhfo

I think Larkins is pretty good.

Of course he isnt going to be right all the time without examining. Especially when just looking at the incident from the boundary.


Poor post IMO.

[dragit]

He didn't really "train" though… he walked slowly apparently.

He would be highly doubtful to play this week you would think.

You really have no idea.

I like Pete Larkins. Everyone who hears his opinion should balance it with the fact he hasn't examined the person he is talking about. The reality is, Roo and many other players probably should miss games that they end up playing. Either way I reckon Doc Larkins gives a valuable insight into what the players have suffered, and how they might recover. He can't possibly right every time, but he seems waaayyy more informed than most of the ppl out there who comment on injuries.

Fingers crossed that Roo plays this weekend. The most encouraging thing for me is that he is pain free. He would probably be walking laps as a pre-caution at this stage. Will test it out tomorrow at training.

Awesome post Stinger.

Of course you know Roo will play this week.

Of course you know he's not out for the year.

This is hilarious.

Larkins gives an opinion based on the information and balance of probabilities. But I'm with you, he's a bit of a flog. They all are.

[Beno88]

Interestingly, if Riewoldt doesn't play, we have a pretty good record without him. Since 2002 we have an 18-6 record when Nick doesn't play.

[Witeout23]

We should rest Rooey this week & next, we can beat Geelong & GWS without him, but we do need him for the Grand Final!

Malpractice? Where does Peter Larkins have a duty of care to Roo. Is Peter Larkins our club doctor?

A lot of those wins would have been in 2010 when we were still a half decent team and a flag contender with heaps of other player able to increase their level of output to cover for Roo.

Even though Roo is not the player he was he still will be a big loss in a side that needs everything going for it to be even half a chance against a side like the Cats.

[B W and R all over]

If we're going to discredit opinions just because of where they come from maybe we should give some thought to the idea that the club might be saying Nick's alright when he's actually not.

I've heard that sometimes clubs lie about injuries to star players.

Poor post IMO.

bullsh!t.....it is a sensible post.....they had a head injuries trauma specialist on 360 last night...he would not comment on an individual case for the reason he hadn't examined the footballer....f*** head larkins could learn from him...that specialist had integrity....larkin has none ...imhfo that is....


you guys are welcome to your opinions....i will stick with mine......the bloke's a disgrace to his profession....

how is it disgraceful? noone is losing. he is not recommending treatment to nick. so who gives a toss? surely malpractice involves actual treatment or advice to a patient.

sure....if he said ...look i haven't examined him... but in my experience an injury like he APPEARS to have Might keep a footballer out for one to three weeks..


instead the prick blandly states roo might not play again this year....well...he may not...but that see you next tuesday has no more idea than you or i....


if you compare him to the professor on 360...there is no comparison when it comes to class....


payment for comment clowns like larkin give me the sh!ts....
