Would you like to enlighten us to the nature of the rumours regarding his off field issues you speak of?

I assume he's referring to the messy breakup with his girlfriend that was fairly well documented.

Where was it well documented?

It's the first I've ever heard of it, which I know doesn't mean much, but still

A breakup with a gf is a shocking excuse, for mine. Is that where his head's at??? He has MAJOR issues if so.

Missed out again Jaded?

I missed it too.

Hope he turns it around next year. The question is. Do we continue with his Forward/Ruck development?. Or do we send him back to defence where he had been good earlier on?

Different things affect people in different ways. Unless you know the circumstances and have spent time in Stefan's head I'd suggest you're not qualified comment, "for mine".

Don't you realise that footballers are robots whose emotions are completely overrided by the fact they earn a good income????

Not good enough.

How can you possibly say that without knowing the whole situation? Are we talking someone he went out with for a couple of months or the girl he'd been with since he was 16 and was planning to marry? Obviously, vastly different in terms of impact. How about how and why did the breakup occur? Presumably it wasn't a mutual decision, a hug and lets have coffee some time. There are plenty of people who go entirely off the rails over a breakup. You may recall a trial recently about a guy who drowned his kids?

Obviously we don't know the entire situation (unless there's a friend of his around here who'd like to share?), but to dismiss it like that is just plain ignorant.

A mate of mine knows Tom Scully's sister.

He told me that the breakup occurred due to Stefan's gf being quite the handful and quite horrendous. A bed egg, in other words. It was apparently never anything overly serious and always "on the rocks".

Stefan has an AFL career. The Auskicker's only ever DREAM of that!! Get your head into gear, Stef... and man up!!

My wife has a girlfirend who drinks at the same pub as martins ex-girlfrineds mother and she says it is all horse sh1te.

I tend to agree.

He is injured. Clearly has been for most of the year.

Good luck to him, hope the surgery goes well and he gets a good pre-season into him and then we will see where he is at.

I need another beer....

Go Dees.

Well, there you go. You heard it, folks. Right from the horse's girlfriend's mother's friend's husband's mouth. End of story.
