Very positive.

Gotta love him.

A real captain.

Oh, and he mentions Saints Footy!

[georgie girl]

Would LOVE to see this video message from Roo!
Is it because I am not with BigPond that I can't view this video? Any help so that I can watch it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thx!

[Cirra]

Is anyone else having trouble with this?

I can't seem to get any sound.
I can hear the other videos - including the Saints update on Roo's injury.
I can also hear the add running before it....just not the Nick part of the video.

Did you have any luck? I clicked on the link that I posted again and it worked for me. My computer is pretty new though.

[saintbrat]

another suggestion- I can be full of them


BUt let the video run through once then play and watch it the second time- it has then downloaded and May/ should/ could run better SECOND time....

[Unforgiven]

Although he doesn't really say much, it's still nice to hear this as a fan and a member.

[Sainterman]

When I tried to view it in Google Chrome it would not run without the Microsoft Silverlight software. I switched to Internet Explorer and it worked no problem. Might be an issue with your browser...if you are using Firefox or Chrome this may be the problem...

Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions - combination of ideas helped - used the Saints website and a different browser and finally heard the message!
Thx again!

GO SAINTERS!!

I love him. No other words to describe it.

He would have been shattered while speaking. Probably in a lot of pain too. Maybe even a little groggy and tired having just left hospital today.

I commend the club and Nick for handling it in such a professional way.

Thanks for your help (and others)

I tried on FireFox and after I read your message I tried on IE whether it was a second attempt or just IE it has worked, thanks again for everyone with suggestions.

FWIW he is a terrific athlete and I believe he will be back sooner rather than later, he is just so professional about his body and his fitness.

[Milan Faletic]

I love him. No other words to describe it.

It's great to have some quality people playing at the club.

Long time has past since the Saints Disco days and Barry and Spider getting in to trouble.

[saintbrat]

no dour face, no if's but's or maybe's

Just 'I'll be back"


I keep thinking Arny- anyone got a photoship or youtube idea.......

[Beej]

Saddens me to think he, the club and its supporters are being robbed of what could have been a career-best year. He was absolutely flying.

At his age you would think that he's just about to hit his peak, or he may already be there, but he's going to spend the majority of the season on the sidelines.

Will he ever reach the same level? Maybe, possibly, but who really knows?

Hard, hard luck.

[SaintDebi]

Our captain is Absolute Quality.
How can you not have a positive outlook when listening/watching that.

Agree, he had Brownlow written all over him this year so far. Never mind, he'll be back for the finals, no doubt.

[SirDog]

The St.Kilda FC have really improved in keeping fans in the loop. I really enjoyed seeing Roo and thank the club for its gesture.

[saintspremiers]

Is it on Youtube for us Mac users?

[St Fidelius]

Is it on Youtube for us Mac users?

PM AOK

That is my suggestion

A guy called Brad Ottens missed most of 2009 but got his way in to the team for the Finals and played in a Premiership.

A guy called Nick Riewoldt will miss most of 2010 but...........watch this space.

Other players will mature quicker. The queue will form to get in to the side and for those so-called fringe forwards who thought they may not get in, they now have an opportunity to be a key player in a top side.

From little things, big things grow.

From bigger things, huge things grow.

Its hard luck for sure and very sad but I have faith Roo will be back and flying just as high as before. He has the fire and passion burning in him to get him past this I believe.

good read from the aussie on our nick...

"He can't comfortably sit down - standing or lying are the options for the moment - but when he is able to take a seat he expects to in the stands watching his St Kilda side cope adequately without him.

"One thing the football club was able to demonstrate the other night is the way we play, with Saints footy, personnel is irrelevant. I think we're going to be competitive in all games," he said seemingly certain that the next four months are going to be longer for him than St Kilda."
