I really do like the way Bailey takes the conversation so that rather than feeding the journos by offering up speculation, he deals with the mundane aspects regarding the number of turtles and fish caught :-)

What does turtle taste like anyway?

I fail to see how these comments relate to the subject at hand.

Really disappointing post for mine.

I feel the club have handled the situations with great compassion, class and dignity.

Too bad some supporters do not exhibit the same qualities.

OD has been a bit depressed lately...

And from that particluar post - I fail to see how us saying "Wonna we are going to cut you and move on" is showing the kind of ruthlessness that builds clubs and wins flags.

He has lost his dad and is from the other end of this great land.

Have a heart and realise that every situation is different - hard and fast rules just leave you bruised and battered.

The club knows that there's no point trying to force him to stay or come back early, while he's in a stressed state and still grieving. When he's feeling strong again he'll return better than ever. I think the MFC should be congratulated for the way they've handled this situation, and hopefully he'll come back soon.

Dean has a great sense of humour, he is one of us now, red & blue thru & thru.

PS Best of luck ozzy.

Coach Dean Bailey, who worked closely with Wonaeamirri and even invited him to live at his family home in an attempt to help him through his problems, said he didn't know exactly when he would return but was buoyed by his improved mindset.

"He caught two turtles and I think it was about 12 or 13 fish yesterday," he said on Friday, when asked for an update on the 31-game player's progress.

"He's having a good time. We'll see him back soon.

"I can't give you a definite date. All I know he said the two turtles were good and the 12 fish he was a bit disappointed in.

"His whole aspect to go back was to reconnect with his culture and we've given him the time to do it.

"He's going to be an important player for us going forward."

I reckon Wonna will be back and in form to play the Darwin game. July 16th.
