This isn't defending out pet gorillas, this is trying to understand the situation. I've watched the tape again and Reiwoldt is clearly walking across the field when he is bumped, whether he is walking back to the bench or not is questionable. But if he was walking back to the bench why wasn't the trainer with him to indicate he was out of the game?saintsrule said:Man this is so 'hell I gotta come up with an excuse to defend my pet gorillas'!

My story is straight, when he got bumped there was no trainer on the screen and it had footage of at least 2-3 metres wide of him. If he was leaving play and going across the field a trainer should have been with him. When he did leave after the bumps there were trainers with him. Why weren't they there the first time?toasty said:Get your story straight didnt he do three laps lift sixty kilos run to the square and resume the game???
No he stood stooped over and got hit from behind by two dogs, wow almost all of the toughest thing the bears do is from behind, careful in the showers guys

Here is the distilled, troll-free, output of this conversation.
- Riewoldt was also aware he was injured, but did not think it as severe as it was.
- The trainer was on the ground and was attempting to persuade Riewoldt to leave the field, so he and the Saints coaching staff were also aware Riewoldt was injured.
- Scott and Michael were aware Riewoldt was injured. They were aiming to exacerbate the injury - whatever it was - and may have succeeded, although of course that will never be known.
- Scott and Michael, fair play to them, have stated that had they known of the severity of the injury, they would not have done what they did. While we can't actually know the truth of that either, it does not excuse the fact that they attacked a player who had obviously just sustained an injury, multiple times, behind the play, and that is a cowardly and unsportsmanlike act no matter what else the situation. I fail to see how this "sets a precedent" for all off-the-ball contact in the history of everything ever, and those suggesting that are at least as guilty of overheating the situation as are people like tigerboyz.
The End.
Again absolute bull sh !t the first hit from directly from behind his right shoulder, the trainer was directly behind and two meters away tops so there was a trainer on the scene, these cowards didnt even have the dignity or courage to approach from front on. Your trying your hardest but all your doing is dribbling sh !tTezmyster said:My story is straight, when he got bumped there was no trainer on the screen and it had footage of at least 2-3 metres wide of him.

umm...no, the trainer who came out to see him originally had already left for the sideline, the only St Kilda person in the vicinity at the time of the bumps was Hamill. After the bumps two of the trainers from the side of the field Reiwoldt was on came running over, then a trainer came over from the other side of the field and this is the one that ran off with him.toasty said:Again absolute bull sh !t the first hit from directly from behind his right shoulder, the trainer was directly behind and two meters away tops so there was a trainer on the scene, these cowards didnt even have the dignity or courage to approach from front on.

If you're going to make comparisions to an incident in another league that was far and beyond what happened the other night you can at least have the dignity of spelling his name correctly, it's Hopoate.toasty said:Crap the trainer is directly behind and facing him when the first hopoarte gets there
it may as well be micheal or scott or dog all three are the sameTezmyster said:If you're going to make comparisions to an incident in another league that was far and beyond what happened the other night you can at least have the dignity of spelling his name correctly, it's Hopoate.
You're not improving, it's Michael and Scott, geez you must be really off tonight because Michael is such an easy name to spell.toasty said:it may as well be micheal or scott or dog all three are the same
ok sorry dog dog or dog there thats easy got to keep turning away from my pc never know when one of these cowardly lions will approach from behind intent on testing my spellingTezmyster said:You're not improving, it's Michael and Scott, geez you must be really off tonight because Michael is such an easy name to spell.
uh huh, have a read, probably the best article I have seen on the Riewoldt incident, dealing with what happened on the field as well as comments made by our good friend Eddie.toasty said:ok sorry dog dog or dog there thats easy got to keep turning away from my pc never know when one of these cowardly lions will approach from behind intent on testing my spelling
because it supports the dogs??Tezmyster said:uh huh, have a read, probably the best article I have seen on the Riewoldt incident, dealing with what happened on the field as well as comments made by our good friend Eddie.
Pitfalls of business ruling sport
No, because it didn't take a side and instead explained the situation. I gather due to your comment you didn't bother to read it.toasty said:because it supports the dogs??

That is after he was bumped and the trainers had come back on to take him off the field. Not the trainer who first came out. Don't watch news snippets which only show 2 seconds of the action, watch the game where you can see the whole thing.Infamy said:Agreed, you can clearly see the trainer behind Reiwoldt on the replays they've been showing on the news
It matters because there are people saying he was leaving the field, if he was leaving the field he would have had a trainer with him. The video at the time of the bump shows no trainer, so was he leaving the field or not?saintsrule said:As long as you can explain why that matters? Were the apes totally unaware? ...Nooooo... and that's why they hit him.
ahhh because dog you've used the front on view, if you care to go back 20 seconds to the original footage, which is from behind just like the Hopoates hits you will see the saint trainer clearly directly behind and to the left of Reiwoldt but that would ruin your argument wouldnt it???Tezmyster said:Let's play spot the trainer, here is footage of Riewoldt as he was getting bumped, could someone please tell me where the trainer is....
