What a kid.
So likable. Imagine breaking your ankle and then giving the crowd a thumbs up when they're stretchering you off and you're in immense pain. Unfortunately his got such a serious type of break. Long road back and I wish him well, but its a very uncertain journey in front of him. Good luck Gaz, we do love you.

Anyone watch the vid with Barrett & Darcy on AFL.com.au??
There was a piece on Gary Rohan and players sliding in around the 5:25 mark. The incident was compared to that of Goodes and they came to the conclusion that it was nowhere near as severe as what Goodes had done in the NAB or the incident with Surjan. I am 100% behind the decision in the NAB which I believe to be the crudest form of sliding (with studs up) but the play on Surjan was 50-50 with both players sliding at impact and Goodes being a "bigger", more imposing player I believe was unfairly targeted. Had that ball of landed towards Goodes and Surjan the infringing player, I believe it would have been a non-issue. If you look at the footage closely both players slide in knees first and feet towards the other player.
But getting back to how they viewed the incident, here is what I find disturbing:
Darcy: "Goodes got suspended, quite rightly so. It was a dangerous situation and he put his knees in."
Barrett: "Should Thomas be looked at?"
Darcy: "Nah I don't think so. I don't think there was any intent for him to maim or injure Gary Rohan, it was an accident"
The wording from Darcy was what really bothers me or I may be reading too much in to it.
Well, is it just me or is Goodes being remonstrated with unfairly and the "smaller" Thomas getting off lightly? I may be opening a small v big guy debate as well but this sliding issue has to be dealt with before another broken foot ruins another player's season/career."In some ways we?re less predictable to ourselves and sometimes that can be detrimental because we don?t really know where we?re going" - P.RoosComment
-
So one came off with nothing and the other a season ending maybe career ending bad break that will have an impact in his life further down the track.
Yet Goodes was deemed much worst and deserved what he got.
yeah that makes sense Darcy. Dumb ruckman and just as dumb in the media.
No wonder the MRP have no idea..when those who are paid big bucks to talk footy have no clue.
What a frustrating game to follow.Comment

I agree - Goodes definitely deserved to be suspended for the NAB cup one, just like Thomas deserves to be suspended from last week ... Has the capacity to seriously injure someone and obviously did in the case of Rohan.
Last week was a much softer incident and only served to make sure players going in with knees/boots was still in the spotlight - Thomas' intent should have nothing to do with it ... No player intends for someone to get hurt in that type of incident.Comment

Not saying goodes didnt deserve to be suspended..but consistency is something very foreign to AFL.Comment

And to answer the question, pretty sure Gibbs came on board in 1998. The previous doctor, John Orchard (known to all and sundry at the club as Doogie due to his baby face) more or less swapped places with Gibbs and went to the Roosters as club doctor and to this day is still doctor for NSW SoO and the Australian League side I believe. I'm almost certain he had a fallout with Rocket. Orchard still does studies for the AFL and is a leading specialist in the frequent studies such as hammies that find their way into the media during slow news weeks...Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Orchard is also the guy that was infamous for stapling up some dude's head on the sideline during a State of Origin game. He got in trouble for it rather than Nine even though Nine could have chosen not to screen it.

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words.

4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.

b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
