If this was another team, we'd be hanging shit on them unmercifully, like we did when Reiwoldt teared up after hurting his shoulder.
It's fine to feel bad for the guy, and I do, but crying about it at the huddle is a bit much.

Mate, I don't care less if we win, lose or draw (well sorta.. you know what I mean), but sometimes real life is so shit, I need to be able to look forward to our clubs next game... I need the club to be 100% in it, up to their neck every time - I won't accept anything less, and that's why I can't accept delusions, rabbit in headlights or half hearted efforts from within our coaches box when the boys are throwing themselves at it out on the ground - that's the only reason I get on the '"perceptive fellow"' bandwagon, and the only reason I joined Nick's in the 1st place - Passion 4 Pies!!

A big difference crying when injured compared to teammates feeling bad for a guy who has been through the injury BS and is looking at another year out!
Footy is a very intense environment - these guys are putting their bodies on the line and it is a much better state of affairs that they feel for the guy rather than not! I'm with Bux on this one!

That's the team for people like you defender.
Go and enjoy winning every week.
(Something tells me you would still want the coach sacked and certain players delisted)

And you, president of the "perceptive fellow" brigade, lead you morbid mob like lemmings, over a cliff face.

I admit I got a bit teary watching Bucks' presser. And I don't even know Brent! Fair to say the players feel worse than I do.

it's a shame every thread has to degenerate into a slanging match and pint scoring. who gives a continental about "perceptive fellow" and what not.

NO, Johnnie, when they seek to denigrate a touching moment or great and gutsy win, they get what they deserve, in spades. Its a positive thread, they try to turn it sour, not us.
