Didn't you post a number of times earlier this week that you didn't see the game?
If so, how is it you are now posting that you did?
Interesting (yet unanswered) question.....

In his defence he was talking about 3 games ago. he has since played the 2 next games. I have never seen a player get injured in a game and play the next week. That is a first.

Just an observation - almost ALL elite sporting organisations involving ball sports insist that all players have their ankles strapped, regardless of an injury. It's considered pre-cautionary, and sometimes clubs won't insure the players if they refuse to tape their ankles.

There are injuries and then there are injuries. BigMart if you have played the game, you would know that there is such a thing as carrying an injury. EVERY player that takes to the field would be carrying an injury. Roo has carried an obvious one for 5 years - and yet still managed to be BOG in big finals. It doesn't mean that it stops them playing at 100%. Luke Hodge won the Norm Smith in 08 with broken ribs, Stevie J kicked 4 goals in the 2011 GF with a knee injury that stopped him from training most of the week and would have kept many players out for 4 weeks. Strapping on a player shouldn't automatically be an excuse for a sub par performance nor the fact they are carrying an injury. The player needs to be honest with himself and the club - if he can't perform, tell someone, and they'll rest him. Otherwise he's considered fit and good to go.

Once you are strapped and take to the field you are 100%. I hope so anyway - because I was towelled up by plenty of blokes who had plenty of strapping on them.

Not great, but in a way might give seb a month to step up.

Still remember back to 2011 when Steven got thrown in midfield and showed he was going to be a player.

I don't know who is sending our players back out but Roberton last year was a disgrace. If Armo was sent out when we weren't going to come back anyway it is a disgrace if he was concussed. The players should expect to be looked after.

Agree, hopefully that article is incorrect.

P66

So you're not saying taping is irrelevant? You're not say he was not injured?

What exactly are you saying?

And have I read correctly in you saying, you've never seen anyone injured, then play the next week, wrongly? I would suggest it happens often... And sometimes it is costly. Sometimes it is alright...
Eg. Nigel Lappin played in a GF with broken ribs.. Clearly injured, he had numerous jabs and played?

And you can't really comment on my life, you don't know me? So it would be a waste of time writing what you imagine you think it is, because all you know is I follow stk, married with kids, work in education, play and coach sport and live on the bay... And of course get stalked on the Internet by a bloke who follows StK and likes to believe he and only he can have an opinion about anything to do with the joint?!

You're on a high horse plugger, but no one on SS thinks you should be, except of course you... With the self proclaimed importance

You answered every point.... Poorly

P66 quotes, taken from earlier posts in this thread;

"Its obvious that no player in the AFL is probably 100%."

"He may not be 100% but im doubting many if any players are 100% after about 2 games of footy."

"Im sure Armo isnt 100%. Im sure Lenny isnt, Im sure Rooy and Joey arent."

Yet despite these repeated statements, BM wrote "And have I read correctly in you saying, you've never seen anyone injured, then play the next week, wrongly? I would suggest it happens often..."

BM either has serious comprehension problems or is trolling.
I suggest his refusal to quote is so he can make stuff up to prove his own arguments.

Hit the boundary

You missed the point... So be concerned about your ability to comprehend? Or you are trolling? Otherwise why weigh in?

I posted David is injured IMO ... Because of a collision, taping, limping

P66 ... Then argued the point, saying taping is irrelevant... My conclusion is baseless

I then refuted that argument as ridiculous and reiterated it wasn't the only indicator of my conclusion

P66 .... Then changed his argument to say everyone plays injured.... (Which is again ridiculous)... Then conceded David is likely to be injured

I asked .... Why did he argue in the first place

Conclusion
Just a vain attempt to prove me wrong!

No that is a lie. You said Armo was clearly injured and then your next post said he wasnt 100%. You were one who changed your mind. I said strapping for SOME players can be for confidence.
