Exactly like you im a lover of football that doesnt know sh!t from sherlock and just calls it as i see it and with Beams its just all too convenient from when he first started out wanting to go home due to his fathers ilness to wanting to come back. Just 1 month ago he he was posting great pictures hiking and having a great time. Now there are words about gambling and other things.And who are you to say what is a genuine mental illness? Why do you feel the need to cast doubt on him by using inverted commas? Mental health issues can strike in different ways at different times and I'm certain neither you, nor I, nor anyone else commenting knows the whole story or the complexity of Beams' emotions.
Maybe every time the word ' Mental Ilness is mentioned we dont become so gullible and just swallow everything thats fed to us, You have taken the high ground with this now maybe enlighten us to what you know we dont as the entire Collingwood board is talking about the exact same things i have mentioned.
Lets just take another player as an example that Had mental issue's as well as drug issue's that was at Richmond, Chris Yarran
He went away and couldnt deal with them and came back to the club and talked about it and gave up a 3 year deal for peanuts payout of something like $100k
Beams has been on sensational money since he went to Brisbane and continued to get well payed, Looks to me like he has 'issue's' but still knows how to collect very good pay cheques
