Shockingly poor article about an ex Demon Rookie

Very sorry to hear about your circumstances and horrified and disgusted by what you went through.  I work with young people everyday and have for many years and sadly your story is not unique. Good on you for having the courage to share your story and by doing so helping others.

Stay strong Daniel and hang in there. You've shown great courage.

Hopefully the AFL, MFC or Players Association will provide support.

Good luck.

Daniel sorry for everything you have experienced.  I really hope you get what you need to help you heal and move forward.  You have certainly put perspective to my emotions following our team’s final’s exit.  Life is the biggest and most important game.  Best wishes to you and all connected to you.

My heart breaks for you, Daniel. I’m so sorry the MFC never reached out to you… that’s inexcusable. Please know that there are many, many people who care about you and wish nothing but the best for you and your children. Sending much love, and big hugs to you. 💕

It’s so good to hear you’re at a point where you can forge a better future for yourself and your family. Stay strong, Daniel. 💖

The best revenge is success for you and your family. Now and into the future.

court action might be a win, but you get the law applied not always justice.

Advertise your success over your opponent, you will feel better and so will your loved ones.  Good luck

Daniel if there is anything any of us can do for you, please shout out.  We don't want you to be abandoned by the system or left to deal with this.  My heart breaks for you.  And you absolutely deserve justice.
