Man this is so 'hell I gotta come up with an excuse to defend my pet gorillas'!
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?

At least we are rational, not like your No 1 ticket holder, saying he wanted to jump the dence and kick the ******** out of michal and scott. ummmmmmmmmm.....

wow that would take one hell of a lot of kicking, did I mention they were cowards and back biters, how amazing was Scott whinging that he got hit by an elbow when he was BEHIND Hamill. Seems the modus operandi of the tough old supermen at the bonza bears is to hit hard from behind and run away. cowards dogs slime filth snakes lepers scum

Whoo beating up on a one armed man from behind Hopoarteism is alive and well at the bad news bears folks lets hope theres some serious injuries in the wings for the kings of the kinghit

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

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?

Ooookay, this is clearly way out of hand.

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.

This pains me to say to both a Collingwood and a Chelsea supporter, but well 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. Your trying your hardest but all your doing is dribbling sh !t

The play was 100 metres away dipstick. :rolleyes:

After noting Riewoldt's position on the ground at the time of the bumps, and where the ball was when it happened, it was concluded, due to Saint Kilda's blaringly obvious one-dimensional game plan, that had the bumps not occured when they did, Riewoldt would have more than likely presented as an option for the delivery into the 50.

However, as by then the commotion had well and truly set it, it was obvious that he could not be used, therefore the ball was kicked to Milne, who in turn kicked a goal.

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.

Crap the trainer is directly behind and facing him when the first hopoarte gets there

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.

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

Agreed, you can clearly see the trainer behind Reiwoldt on the replays they've been showing on the news
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.
 
saintsrule said:
As long as you can explain why that matters? Were the apes totally unaware? ...Nooooo... and that's why they hit him.
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?
 
If they are , then they have to have a good chance to get off , three ex-players on the tribunal aren't there ???

Kevin Bartlett only ex-player I've seen today who thinks they have case to answer.

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....

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???
