Riewoldt aka German Diver, the most pathetic protected species in the AFL

Re: Riewoldt aka German Diver, the most pathetic protected species in the AFL

AFL.com saying Diver's injury is worse than they first thought. Could be as many as 6-10 weeks.

Just mentioned could possibly be a season ender.
Similar to Loyd a couple of years back.

Just heard on the radio that the Diver has done what looks to be a pretty bad hammy? No more diving for St. Nick! Tough, eh?

I might be misreading this but I'd hope nobody would take delight in any player getting a long term injury.

I made Riewoldt my SC captain tonight.

I'm gonna be honest here. I don't want injuries to occur to anyone but now it is done, I must say I would probably prefer to have him out for as long as possible. I know it sounds awful but the Saints are clearly one of our main competitors for the flag and they rely on him more than any contender relies on any of it's stars.

If he makes a quick comeback, I will be happy for him. It's nothing personal, I just want us to win the flag way more than I want Riewoldt to be playing footy.

As said, he is a great player.

It is shame if it ends his season.

Poor form from supporters who are happy he is injured.

They would be the ones screaming if it was one of our own.

Hopefully it is not a season ender.

Good luck to the saints for bringing it home.

I honestly don't care, does that make me a bad sport?

Me either, don't care either way.

Not awful, quite rational IMO.

BTW, great victory by the Saints.

I don't think not caring makes you malicious. Not caring is fair enough. Active;y wishing someone to be hurt is wrong, but from what I've read so far nobody is punching the air. Roo annoys me with his diving, but I'm even more annopyed now I'll have to take him out of my SC team.

Jokes aside, does anyone else think his injury maybe cracked our window open a bit further?

To state the bleeding obvious, it leaves a huge hole in the Aints. And, yes, I think it could enhance our chances. I'm OK with that.

Since you asked I think it makes you either immature or short on class.
You dont care what the outcome is with people getting injured as long as it benefits you.The majority of boxers embrace after a fight as a sign of respect despite what might have been said before the fight and they take no delight in anyone getting injured. Id be disappointed to see opposition fans squealing with delight if one of our guys copped the same injury.

Why the need to look at an AFL board while a game is being played, and decided?

If you planning to watch this game later, you'll have to do what I do and have a total media ban until you've watch the game. The forum is the last place to be going.

Sorry, but I can manage to do 2 things at once.

I saw the injury on TV, and came on here to see the reaction.
You know the game has not finished on TV in Melbourne.
