Crying AFL players

[ballanFYNE]

Riewoldt. Now don't get me wrong he is very skilled and very courageous, but no current AFL player have i seen cry so much compared to others. If you have pictures of them or any other professional sportstars crying post them hear.

How original

 

[the woodsmen2010]

he is a great player,but soft as butter,hangs with too many soapy stars,its rubbing off...

There is also that game against brisbane when he sooked up...

Malthouse and licuria 2002 was a good effort too,can forgive people after a grand final including riewolt...

How original

i didnt just start the thread for everyone to start bagging riewoldt.
There is already 2 or 3 on the board atm.

Freo never get in any finals to lose and make them cry.

The most disappointing thing is OP's think these kinds of threads will take off

 

[Invigoration]

The collar bone crying incident was pretty suspect, but as much as I like taking the piss, you can't seriously call a bloke out for crying after losing a grand final.

Shows he has true passion and heart for the club, nothing wrong with that. He is hardly alone in that illustrious group anyway.

Clinks will bawl his eyes out in 2034 when Freo finally make a GF, only to get smashed.

Could have fooled me since you only used pics of Riewoldt in the OP.

These threads just go round in circles with the same pics always posted, ie. Riewoldt crying, Ablett crying, Campbell Brown crying, Malthouse and Licuria crying etc.

It's all been done to death.

Could this post be due to this?

but in all seriousness I do agree. Crying after a GF loss is ok, like you said shows a bit of passion. Crying because someone bumped you while you are still on the field, poor form.

 

[Todd_Gack]

Those are tears of joy, I dont see a problem

People often think Riewoldt crying in 2005 was about the collarbone, it wasn't, if it was, he would've teared up on the ground and while the Brisbane players tried to f**k it up even more. What he was truly upset about was that it was his first game as Captain, and in the first chance he gets to Captain his club, he goes down. It may not be as acceptable as Grand Final tears, but believe me it wasn't about the pain, any Saints fan will tell you that.

Ok that may be true, but you can't have a crack at the Brisbane players for doing what they did. If you are injured, get the f**k off the field, otherwise you are 100%.

 

[Murraj1966]

He was actually going for the bench IIRC, and they intercepted him.

Oh well beating them by 139 later on that year cleared up the mess

That photo still makes me laugh after all these years, ****ing great stuff!

If only you had a chance in the last 20 years to be in a gf...


Grand finals are not draft picks as you richmond supporters think,oh wait you blew them too...

He was being taken off the field by a trainer...

Maybe you should watch afl..

It's good having some idea about a subject, before blowing your load on nothing...

Glad we could provide you with at least one footballing highlight for the decade......

Somebody had to do it for your mob

He had previously elected to stay on the ground IIRC, so it was fair game.



On what someone else said in page 1, I too always believed he cried because of the whole 'first game as captain' thing, and not because of the collarbone. Which probably makes it less unacceptable (not more acceptable ). Just shows he has a lot of pride in his role as captain.

 

[Murraj1966]

Who wouldn't have pride as captain? Being captain of an AFL team would be every young footballers dream outside a Premiership. To have that in a way stripped from him on his first outing would hurt.

 

[staphy]

Don't have one of him crying, but i have got one of him diving and staging for a free again. The only thing missing is his superman cape

 

[charcoalchicken]

haha you caught that dive!!

I was wondering why he wasn't wearing his goggles and flippers when he pulled that kicked a goal out if too the crying/diving prick.

you should hang around on draft day, plenty of tears on the announcement of being drafted by Fremantle
