Curry & Beer 5,444 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah absolutely identical. Clark left us as a FA after many years of kicking big bags of goals, helping us to 2 flags and we got band 1 compo when he left. at least Clark had the pretense of 'doctor's advice' Franklin just straight up took the cash We'll see how magnanimous you are when Hogan does it to us
Emerald 1,744 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Looks like the old saying 'money can't buy happiness' applies too Buddy too.
Seraph 1,824 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Was rushed to hospital after having a seizure. Geez you guys are bloody flogs sometimes. Real tough bashing guys with illness, be proud. Reported as having nothing to do with the earlier mentioned mental illness.
stuie 7,374 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Reported as having nothing to do with the earlier mentioned mental illness. Which has what exactly to do with what I said?
Biffen 12,949 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I wouldn't classify epilepsy as a mental health issue unless I was a Dr from the 19th Century in which case i would apply leeches to his forehead and prescribe a strong course of Opium. Epilepsy is purely a physical problem(yes I know it affects the brain but not the mind per se). The question is why does he get the seizures? Longmire is spinning this a tad.
DeeSpencer 26,667 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 hate it when stated he is getting the best of help,why doesnt everybody get the best of help,ffs he is just a footy player and being paid a truck load wether he is good or bad at his job on the day,we live in a sad unequal world Yes the world is unfair. If you have private health insurance and access you can get the best of care. If you are an ordinary Australian without it you'll get adequate care in the public system. If you are a Syrian refugee you will be happy with shelter, food and water. Buddy has made the most of his physical talents, I don't begrudge him good care.
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I wouldn't classify epilepsy as a mental health issue unless I was a Dr from the 19th Century in which case i would apply leeches to his forehead and prescribe a strong course of Opium.

Longmire is spinning this a tad. and then plays a game the next day....?
Biffen 12,949 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 you guys are bloody flogs sometimes. Real tough bashing guys with illness, be proud. SOme of us have our moments Stuie,but for most it is not permanent. I'm sure we all hope for a speedy recovery for Your Flogness and Franklin's seizures.
stuie 7,374 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 SOme of us have our moments Stuie,but for most it is not permanent. I'm sure we all hope for a speedy recovery for Your Flogness and Franklin's seizures. Yep, mental illness, seizures, epilepsy, all hilarious hey? Congratulations on your internet toughness.
Moneider96 1,045 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Keep fighting Barney. There are moments of light in life that make it all worthwhile. Sometimes everything seems futile and worthless but it is the struggle that counts. Didn't know your carried such pearls of wisdom Biff.
Biffen 12,949 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Which has what exactly to do with what I said? Does anyone care? Ever.
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Yep, mental illness, seizures, epilepsy, all hilarious hey? Congratulations on your internet toughness. Is this another one of your moral moments Snitch?
hardtack 11,104 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Herald Sun is reporting Buddy rushed to hospital last Friday following a seizure. Could the issue be seizure-related (epilepsy, perhaps?) and not depression? I realise seizures and depression are not necessarily mutually exclusive. He does suffer mild epilepsy it was reported... but it was also reported that there is no link between the epilepsy and the mentalk illness that Buddy is suffering. http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/2015-09-08/swans-confirm-franklins-seizure

buck_nekkid 6,100 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Lance Franklin is an amazing player. I wish him a speedy recovery. Regardless of the attempts here to smear him with rumour, he deserves to have the space and privacy to work through any mental health issues associated with his 'pre-existing scenario'. If he was your father, brother or son, how would you want him treated? That should be your standard.

dazzledavey36 56,278 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Some outright bizarre comments on here. I wish him all the best. His health is 1st priority with footy a daylight second. Hope he recovers well and gets back to playing that exciting footy i love watching.

Following you earlier post re the black dog (http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/39087-buddys-mental-health-issue/?p=1154493) I'm seriously having trouble understanding where you are coming from.
Perago Validus 164 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Mental Illness doesn't discriminate. I work in the field and feel the utmost respect for Lances's public admission. People raging about the contract I could generally accept, however through working in the field I cannot accept this mocking behaviour. I'll repeat mental illness does not discriminate. I feel sympathy for Lance and wish him all the strength in the present and future. I hope he connects with the important people in his life and feels better. All the best Lance.
Deestroy All 14,266 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Jordan Lewis said he's never heard about this and he's shocked. Yet the Swans knew about it when they signed him? Forgive me if I'm my usual cynical self.
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 at least Clark had the pretense of 'doctor's advice' Franklin just straight up took the cash We'll see how magnanimous you are when Hogan does it to us Not much positive coming out of your world atm curry. Need a hug?
DubDee 26,669 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I'm amazed at the lack of empathy on here. Smacks of petty jealously or maybe just ignorance. Get well soon buddy. I wouldn't wish mental illness on anyone.

Barney is making a point about the health system.Public v Private or whether there should even be a difference in care provided to people who have the same illness.

I understand that Biff... it was his little rant re Buddy towards the end that I was having trouble understanding.
