Whats the go guys?

If it is diagnosed tendonitis, that s*** doesn't go away, and i don't want him missing games mid season and s*** because of knee soreness.

Any update?

Fair enough, I took it as a smart ass comment, sorry if it wasn't the case.

I'm just s*** worried his gonna miss games due to knee soreness when we come to a tough part of our draw....11-16.

IM worried as well. I have no idea. But I havent heard any talk of it not healing, in fact the opposite. But who really knows. It would be nice to have him up and going 100%, but this is St.Kilda...

A absolute key, to state the obvious, must have him playing vast majority of games.

Riewoldt's knee is not something we should be worried about this year. It is what it is, Tendonitis. I'd imagine he will be available for 22 rounds unless some other unrelated injury occurs.

Trust me, it will be fine, and he won't miss any games because of it ...

The person who told me that would know.

but that doesn't mean he'll be at 100% every week....

There is no player in the AFL who is at 100% every week.

Don't fret too much. From the explanation the club gave of his injury, it won't be anything like a Luke Ball injury. If you believe what the club have said, it isn't a classic knee tendonitis, rather some irritation to the capsule in his knee, which will heal and allow Rooey to play at 100% (assuming the rest of his body is ok).

I always beleive the club on injuries. Max didnt do his hamstring but has gone on holidays.

Fair point.

How do the club think he will start the season? As someone else said he looked to be moving pretty well in the NAB final and has had quite a bit of rest (which is apparently one of the main ways to treat the tendonitis)

The club wouldn't have made him captain if they thought the knee would reduce his impact by even 10%?

I personally struggled with some tendonitis in my knee earlier this summer and after the prescribed rest (No running. Bike,swimming and other cardio fitness work ok) and a stretching program it has come up fine and im sure that Roo has had far superior treatment than I have had.

Actually playing my first practise match tonight so we'll see how it goes!

As Roo said himself, the only thing it affects is his logn range kicking. If the knee gets sore he just limits his kicking. Apparently nothing to stop him running or getting bumbed about or going for big marks. Is only an issue with long kicks IF it is sore, so I don't think there is anything to worry about.

I'd say it is just hype, considering our usual horrid run with incidents.

If you really want to know about Riewoldt's knee read the following article.

When he came off against Essendon and spent the last quarter icing up I thought - "here we go again!"

But the following week he played strongly interstate and tore Bock a new ****hole.

Also noticed that he had the knee strapped up against the Bombers but had no strapping against the Crows. I take that as a sign that he was on the mend.
