You really don't want your best player on indefinite leave 3 weeks before the season starts. 

Saints can't take a trick.

    Let's hope he gets himself right. He's doing the right thing for the long term.

    “The Deebrief” a Dees fan podcast, one of the crew said they’d seen him out and about on “mental health”.

     Speedy recovery Jack Stevens hope that you are in a good place.

    It can happen to anyone at any time and he is brave to call out.  His healing is the most important as time out will do him good. I have been there with someone in my family. I am sure he will get the right care.

    Do as you wish but I think we should take anyone saying they have a MH issue at face value. If not, people with real problems will be dismissed. 

    Would be easier and with less press to just say he did his hammy.

    The players can still be drug tested sitting out with a made up injury. If you’ve had two strikes and fear a test is imminent, then claim mental health issues and you can’t be forced to submit to a drug test. 

    *I’m not at all saying this is the case with Stevens.

    Interestingly though, he said he hoped not to miss any games and that it was a family issue. He might just need a couple of weeks to concentrate on the issue.

    he also said he was going to have a complete break from any training. wouldn't want to be too long a break if he wants to play round 1. it didn't sound like a short break the way he talked.

    Without doubt he will come back for the Dees game to inspire the saints to a stirring win... ?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
