Talking about the rushed behind rule in the hawks vs. Richmond.
I think it's riewoldt who said it.
"That's the beauty of our game every rule has some grey in it so the umpires have a big job to do"
Yes...that's the beauty of our game. Pretty sure you want black and white, not more grey in the rules.
He's angling for some extra free kicks next week against us.
Morphine is kept under locking and key in hospitals and doctors even then don't have Willy nilly access. There is also allergic reactions, patients known or unknown history which also needs to be taken into account. These factors are all relevant and unless someone is literally at risk of dying then they will err on the side of caution. Morphine is still the most potent drug I think so it's a very controlled substance. You don't risk sending someone into anaphylactic shock over a broken leg as harsh as that's may sound, but it's for very good reasons really.
That would be my uninformed take on it anyway.
Just on this, there's one thing that I'm confused about, but I have zero medical training so I suspect it's just ignorance. It was clear from the moment Wallis was injured that he was in serious pain. As he basically snapped his leg just above the ankle, the pain would be excruciating. We hear how he was literally screaming in the rooms in pain while waiting for the ambulance after the game had finished (which, understandably, had a significant impact on all staff and players in the rooms), so he was still lying there for half an hour or more after it happened.
Anyway, my question is (and I was thinking it whilst he was still on the ground and they were stabilising the foot): why didn't they administer morphine or some other powerful pain-killer? Would it have had an adverse impact on his recovery? Did they simply not have a strong enough pain-killer? Or some other reason? Looking for those with some knowledge to enlighten me.
Results not going our way this weekend.
Unless we think we can still make top 4.
GWS aren't doing us any favours.
A solid rogering is my wish.Won't be doing them any rd. 23
I'm hoping Port roll them and we control our own fate to finish as high up the ladder as possible. At the very least a home final in wk 1 of the finals.GWS aren't doing us any favours.
If we can't win a couple of those last 4, no point to making the finals anyway.The more pressure on us to win the better preparation it is for us for finals.
If we are good enough we will make it. Simples.
Gibbo?Saints game looks scary - no one to match up on Stevens
Overheard 2 Bulldog fans on the train today absolutely shitcanning elite kick, Matt Suckling

Fentanyl a synthetic drug. It would be safe to say Doctors would have that drug available at a sporting event. It takes about five minutes to work.
Didn't know of the drug at all.
So, is it likely that it wasn't administered because its effect can be dangerous, like morphine? And therefore, as harsh as it sounds, they elected to leave him there in pain as the better medical decision?
