Mega Thread The Big Roughy IS IN THE CLEAR!!

[Footy 1st]

Can only imagine how much this news would have lifted the spirits of the Roughead (and HFC) family. Great to hear such positive news for such a champion person.

 

[AlbertonBloke]

Really happy for the big fella. The word good bloke gets thrown at Hawks players like confetti but Roughy is a genuine good bloke and can he play. Carve it up next year mate

 

[Schraderbrau]

Great work Rough!

 

[davross]

Just wakened up to the good news (in Europe) and whatever shit gets thrown at me today will not take the smile off my face. Fantastic news.

First read that as 'first wanked up to the good news' and thought - yeah fair enough! That'll learn me for skim reading.

Well I think I can say that every Hawk fan and footy fans in general are over the moon with this great news.

Our foward line will be looking very powerful if the big fella can get back to the form he was in before he done his knee and of course before the horrible cancer return.

Above all Roughie is cancer free and can only get healthier and fitter and it must be a great lift for his wife and family and close friends, not to mention every single person with a Hawthorn connection.

Let's make sure every Hawthorn fan is at the MCG for Round 1! Can't wait for the big fellas first game back!!!!!!

Yeeaaaa Haaaaa!!!

 

[JoeHawk]

Sell out crowd in round 1?
Between the headfooked bombers fans screaming "we was hoodwinked!" And Hawks fans welcoming the rough back!

How good would it be if he makes R1. Bombers will be pumped to have their full team back in action, but no more than the Hawks having a healthy Roughy back in action. Fingers crossed! But even if Rough won't be ready I reckon our boys will be pumped just knowing he won't be too far away. R1 is going to be ripper. Can't wait.

Thread title needs a kickass update by the way

Has definitely got one now!

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

****ing great news. cant wait to see the big fella hit lace out on the tit and slot a snag from 50 at the g

 

[crazywildhorse]

It would be so good to see him get up for the game against Melbourne or West Coast next year.

 

[Mowman]

Great News for big Roughy

 

[Gauntlet]

Wonderful news, go Roughy!!!

 

[Argy]

This news is beyond my wildest dreams. No cancer!!! Unbelievable.

Just imagine - win it for Rough this year and he gets a personal fourthorn!

 

[marklar]

"O'Meara goes inside 50 to Roughead"

Can't wait for the day when we will hear that!

 

[cryptor]

I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!!

 

[Blue Doormat]

Great news for Roughie, his family, the Hawks family and the wider AFL community. His battle transcended tribal boundaries.
Whether he plays or not is inconsequential. His health is what matters. Well done Roughie.

 

[JordyLuke]

Such great news. Love Roughie.

what happened in 2010 & 2012 then?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

This is the greatest. Even if he comes back at 50% capacity he will be awesome.

Will be good for Vickery to have a decent on field leader to work with as well.

This is just so so good.

what happened in 2010 & 2012 then?

In short, if Roughead plays 24 games or more in a season Hawthorn win the flag.

 

[Davo23]

In short, if Roughead plays 24 games or more in a season Hawthorn win the flag.

There's been a Roughead in each of the last 4 premierships

How many games did Jordan Roughead play?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Honestly don't get how that is possible if he is continuing treatment until June-July next year according to a few reports about it over the past few months. I would love, love, love to see Roughy running out this year but if he is continuing treatment I am not sure how it would be possible. I am reading 'hopeful' as 'we wish he could be out there'. I am tempering my expectations and I still don't expect him to be out there until 2018. His recovery is 1,000,000,000 times more important than him being out on the field.

Jeez mate, don't be so negative!!

Aberration. Obviously.
