"The people in the OB (outside broadcast) truck… the director, the producer, all that, they will have seen the footage, been able to digest what was happening and make a judgement call as to whether this is acceptable to show," Roo said.

"Those people in the control room would have already seen the outcome what was happening with Paddy McCartin before it went to air."

Never miss anything with the best of Triple M Footy playlist:

McCartin was subbed out with concussion on Monday, and Fox Footy cameras showed him desolate in the rooms.

Roo said that it was all part of the drama and theatre of footy.

"He was just frustrated because he wanted to get back out there, cause he knows the difference between feeling like he’s in trouble with concussion and feeling like he’s ok," he said.

"And he felt like he was ok… I thought it was compelling vision that showed us an insight into Paddy McCartin and how desperate he is to play AFL football."

Roo also previewed the huge clashes in round 7 and discussed the merits of North potentially getting another priority pick.
