Yep, and he looked ok too..but don't be under any illusions. He did it tough and it was more than a jog, but nowhere near a full run..I'd say he did about 4 or 5 laps of Lakeside, prob about 2.55 or so per lap.
But very encouraging to see him out in the fresh air. And lots of encouragement from his mates too.He is ceretainly popular there.
BTW, he and Tommy Mitchell returned early for pre season last year..extra effort! -

Great news. I don't expect him back in the first team until 2014 though.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

awesome !
July onwards he might be ready for Ressies though - that would be approx 15months since the injury"be tough, only when it gets tough"

When I watched the video, I couldn't help but get the feel how flat he looked and sounded. It was obvious that he personally felt he was more advanced prior to his first jog outside. It's easier to get a feel of being more advanced if you are running on a treadmill or weight assisted treadmill. Hitting the harder outside turf and being out in the elements is a different scenario altogether. The video just showed me the ups and downs physically and mentally that Gary will continue to face. He'll get more confident and upbeat on the track and no doubt with good peoplearound him to support, encourage and not force the pace.
Interestingly, Nathan Brown (ex Bulldog/Tiger) soke to all the new AFL recruits at their open day. Nathan mentioned to them how quickly life can change for them (ie his infamous broken leg incident) and his regret of rushing back to play his ex Bulldog team mates before his body was ready. He believed it cost him an early exit to his career.Comment

Best article of the off season.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

The 'middle months' of recovery can be a bit deceptive, and 12 months after my bad (but probably not as bad as GR's) leg break I still can't quite 100% cane it running (not that I was much of a runner before). But I reckon that Rohan can totally make it into the firsts in time for the 2013 season, albeit maybe ressies in June/July and pushing for selection three-quarters of the way through the year. As a club, when you're up the top, you need to improve to stay where you are, and if he can get up for it (and we make it!), Rohan's the most obvious source of improvement for us in the 2013 finals series.Comment

Rohan running again.
^ Not Tippett ?Comment

For some reason I was thinking about improvement from within (and national draftees) when I wrote that, not mature recruits (i.e. not Tippett), but even on reflection I think you can make a respectable case that Gary Rohan in full flight, adds more to the Swans lineup that Kurt Tippett at his best.Comment

Rohan running again.
That's true, but I doubt Rohan will be in full flight by next years finals series, these leg breaks normally put a player back a couple of seasons. 2014 will hopefully be the year he announces himself as a bonfire star.Comment

Rohan running again.
By next years I meant this years, still in 2012 modeComment

Rohan, Goodes, McGlynn and Mitchell were all doing laps today. Rohan and Mitchell stopped and McGlynn and Goodes are still running now.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
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. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
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. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition 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. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
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. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
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
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
