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.
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.
Not saying goodes didnt deserve to be suspended..but consistency is something very foreign to AFL.
Misdiagnosis, followed by a grubby needle, hasn't helped the big Mummy.Originally Posted by WeHaveTheGoodes

That i didnt know..take my words back though misdiagnosis happens.
but whats with the grubby needle?
I'm just being a little cheeky.
He's got a back infection, probably caused by the cortisone needle he was given before round 3.

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...

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.
Sorry for the brief thread hijack!
Today's a draft of your epitaph
Thomas is the stiffest man of all time. Can't go for the footy anymore? It's a contact sport and accidents happen.

Yes, I think this is the John Orchard who developed the Orchard Sports Injury Classification System. Think Gary would be coded as a Compound midshaft fractured tibia +/- fibula = QFTC.
But back to the topic, hope Gary recovers fully from this nasty break. I've been through a compound midshaft femoral fracture and it's not much fun (you feel like taking out a contract on the physio!), but in time and with lots of work (and the best of care as our club will provide) strength and function return. Gary has age, fitness and mental strength (in bounds) on his side! So all the best for a speedy recovery Gary.
Still feel really really down about it. You can tell the guy loves the club and just footy in general. He's had absolute rotten luck but i know his will and spirit will make him bigger and better in 2013....
Wishing you a speedy recovery Gaz!!

Absolutely shattered for Gary Rohan. I know someone quoted earlier in the string about their whole family being in shocked silence after the incident, our place was the same!
The one question I have for anyone in RWO who knows anything about orthapedics is what impact this will have permanently? (I know don't go there)?
The one thing he has going for him is that he is young, strong, still growing (based upon Roosy's assessment) and bred in the country. I haven't seen a young draftee take to the Swans like Gary has in terms of culture and passion for a long time.... I hope he heals both mentally and physically to become what he wants to be.....because quite frankly I have had him tagged as an AFL GREAT! Here is hoping that those young bones heal and he has the opportunity to be not only a great player, but bring to the AFL (not just for Sydney but for everyone) the greatness of person that makes champions!
