Perhaps he should spend half an hour in an oncology ward or at the Children's Hospital. May give him a little perspective as to where life's priorities lie.
At the end of the day it is just a game of footy.

Yes mate we know, there are worse things that can happen to someone.
Doesn't mean you have to wait until your kid has cancer before it is OK to get upset about something.
Possibly the stupidest post I have seen in here. That is saying something.
Oh so people are only allowed to show any kind of emotion when it comes to a kid with cancer ? Thank you showing us what emotions are appropriate, and when we can use them .
I agree with the previous poster ..absolutely stupid comment.
Soft as butter, probably cries when his favorite character dies on tv shows he watches

Physically hard - yes, emotionally hard - No
Different things Dumba**
Totally agree.
So if someone's house burns down it's not OK to be upset cause someones son down the road has cancer.
It's not OK for the father to be upset his son has cancer cause someone elses children both passed away..
Get over yourself!!!

Just another ridiculous media beat up.
Cousins goes to hospital with stomach cramps and suddenly he is a binge drinking alcoholic. Riewoldt speaks to the clubs sports psychologist, like most players have probably done at some stage, and suddenly he is having grief counselling.
You can tell it's a slow news week for the AFL media, no footy on this week so let's beat up every little story we can find to try and sell papers.

I understand the reason that Riewoldt was upset after the Grand Final. Footy seasons are very long and a lot of effort goes in to getting that far. To lose a close Grand Final after leading at every change and only losing twice previously during the season would have been tough, particularly when the coach didn't have his best day. Luke Ball was obviously distressed too. Mick Malthouse and Paul Licuria were obviously upset after the 2002 Grand Final.
I'm not quite sure why he seems to be so upset so often though. I think it was Chris Scott and Mal Michael roughing him up here that upset him...
I don't know why he needed counselling here though...
And I have absolutely no idea of the reason that he was crying here...

I wasn't. I said I understood the reason that he was upset following the Grand Final under the circumstances that St.Kilda lost. Perfectly understandable.
Well at least keep it for people that attempt to personally insult you which I have never done. Maybe you're getting a little too emotional as well!
I think a number of people need to gather some perspective here, including Riewoldt himself. He was disappointed they lost .. understandable, we all like to win.
But, people ... no matter how we dress it up, it was a pre-season trial game!! Nothing more, nothing less. We all know about NAB Cup matches, you celebrate if you win, and gather experience if you lose. All it does is add a few bickies to the tin of the club who is fortunate to win.
Nick, it was a trial game son, and if you are traumatised by the result, we'd be very worried about how you would recelive some serious and genuine bad news.
Nick, youre a champion, on your day arguably the very best player in the game, but if you need counselling after losing a trial game, what sort of emotional pitch will you reach by September? Sounds to me all you need to do is learn to relax more and not take yourself so seriously. By reacting in this way, you are only exacerbating the situation, not dealing with it.

I have no problem with Riewoldt's emotions, whether others think they get the better of him or not. He's a champion footballer.
What I cannot fathom is his response to being asked if he took a pay cut to get Lovett to the Saints ..."I honestly can't remember if I did for that particular situation".
It was barely five months ago, only a moron would NOT "remember" how his very large and very specifically tailored pay deal was altered, and why. "Honestly" Nick?
What is the problem with players being genuinely honest about such matters. Big deal if they took a pay cut to get Lovett, no one's blaming Saints players for what happened.
It just tarnishes his reputation that he couldn't just come out and answer the question. "Yeah, I took a cut, a lot of us did. We really wanted Lovett at the club and it's a shame it hasn't worked out."
What's so difficult? It's not state secrets we're talking about.

What does that say about Collingwood then, when the so called biggest sissy in the AFL has two BOG performances against them in our last two finals?

Perfectly understandable.Well at least keep it for people that attempt to personally insult you which I have never done. Maybe you're getting a little too emotional as well!
So even though you are understanding, you just thought you'd post a few pics of Riewoldt crying that would be more at home in Bay 13?
I'm pretty sure Riewoldt was having counselling over last year's GF loss, not the NAB Cup loss. Would be pretty pathetic if anyone was that upset over the NAB Cup.
Like...who are you? The emotion police? Heh...heh, amiright gais?!

Nick & Kosi seem close - Too close if you know what i am saying.
*cue face palm image*
Who can blame him for wanting to talk to Sean Richardson? The guy saves drowning women with one arm whilst having a leisurely kite-surf.
So if anyone knows how to get over a narrow GF loss, I'm gonna guess it's Sean Richardson. He's a sports psychologist in his spare time, when he's not saving the universe from certain destruction.

Maybe you should try reading the story first before you comment.It has nothing to do with the NAB Cup GF loss the other night.He got counselling after last years AFL GF loss.

Was sitting near him in a plane once. Wouldn't stop whingeing about the food.
Don't know if he was crying or not.

Views??? Obviously you have never worked for anything in your life or had something worth fighting for taken away. So some can sympathize with Nick.
Whats does the Q in your name mean?? Queer??
