Itâs crap news, mostly for Francis and I wish him well with all things mental health.
But fkn seriously, between this and the Laverde thread there seems to be a complete inability to tolerate any sort of disappointment without spitting vitriol, blame and basically foot stamping.
Weâve had an absolutely ripping off-season, itâs disappointing to get injuries, but every club has them, thatâs footy. Attacking J.Crow and his fitness team is also pretty rich given there recent record.

You leave Arsenal out of this 
Man calls club pathetic. Stop the press.
It hasnât been a great day for our list. I have been a supporter of Francis and wanting people to give him time. I reckon Iâm wrong. There were people when he was recruited saying he would be a bust. I hope we employ the people that made that call.
I wish him all the best but clearly a horrible result for Essendon.

Where is it written that the #6 pick will be a success? Thereâs no guarantee with any draft pick. Sometimes you get it right, and sometimes you donât. Thereâs any number of failed top 10 picks over the years. It happens all the time. For any number of reasons.

Melbourne Storm were also definitely incorporating mindfulness training at one point and really positive about it. They might still be doing it, unsure though

In an Adelaide guernesy though right, wasnât it implied heâs going there as soon as contract comes up
It takes serious strength to let people know that your struggling and then asking for time to sort yourself out. Especially in the cut throat nature of professional football.
Good luck to the young man. Get happy. Get healthy. Get plenty of friends and family time.

Didnt want to read into it, but during team photos he didnât seem to be one bit as jovial as the others. Not one smile.
Yes there could have been a chance he smiled when there were no cameras, I just hope he gets some clarity on life and selfishly part of that is footy with the Bombers.
