#13: Chris Yarran

[tunksy]

What's your agenda bud? I want to see your point.. But I just don't.

Agenda? None. Not sure why you bring that up..

Just know people (and long time partner to someone) who are going through it and even their parents have brushed it off as "harden up" "get over it".

Theres a big big difference between issues you can harden up and get over and diagnosed depression.

Why did we give Yarran number 13?

Don't want to go out on a limb or anything, but I suspect it may be because it was his number at the Blues...

none of us know 100%, but thats what the media has said and his behaviour is indicative of it. the poster was referencing suicide, and thats mostly a risk with depression, not schizophrenia or the like

I haven't seen a single media report saying it's depression. I've seen reports quoting "a mental health condition" or "a mental health issue". It could be something other than depression. It could be an addiction for instance.

All speculation though.

I've said it before, but that looks like an old photo.

Having said that I have no idea if he is staying or going.

It was taken after the best and fairest , dusty has same hair cut , do your homework bloke

Exactly and that worked out well

 

[Sassafras]

no - look at this thread as proof

Did you mean treated as in 'treated by a proffessional' or treated as in 'viewed by the general public'?

Having said that I still think that mental illness is looked at generally more and more seriously every day. To say 'mental illness' is as vague as saying 'physical injury', it comes in many forms obviously and to different strength degrees.

Being an AFL player with an injury problem and something like Yarran's family/life situation it is absolutely no shock he is suffering mentally.

Dont think we will ever know 100% unless chris ever gets himself in a position wheres hes comfortable talking about it to the media. (Which i dont think he ever needs to do).

Just want the club to stand by him (and mckenzie) and give them as much help as possible.

Excellent question , that I meant to respond to elsewhere . Can't understand why a player unless he was a Brownlow medalist in that number, would request it again. He had a flawed career in the no 13 at blooze , so what do we do , stamp it on his back again,,,,,hopefully Balme sorts out that rookie s**t

Not seeing whatever your point is about his number?

...are you saying that his jumper selection has attributed to his issues thus far? That's the definition of drawing a long bow.

Which I think they're doing in spades

No I'm not , just superstitious and puzzled why?

Way over my head atm lol
Didnt even think of that

Dusty had that same haircut pre season. Plus I said "looks like".

Don't be condesending 'bloke'.

It's the last number I would have given him followed by 87

How do you know that actually?

 

[Bojangles17]

How do you know that actually?

Well I don't coz I did t take it , was circumstantial given it was published at same time

Speculating Bc Chocco drove with them to the funeral.

Well I did do some 'homework', the photo was posted the morning after the JDM and the photo was taken pre season.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Cant remember who posted it, but there was a group shot of 3 or 4 in suits for the jack dyer medal

Yarran was clean shaven

the issues they talk about dont correlate with addiction

one thing the media is good at is telegraphing what they want to say without saying it

We all know Bennel likes the white stuff, but it was never overtly said.
