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... ?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
