On the app none of the delisted players have been deleted. Probably the IT team are on leave.

Have you sufferd from depression?

Firstly I've sufferd from depression for year's and banter and humour is good medicine specially having a laugh. I don't think afl players would care about bigfooty and Brendan in a tweet put up #bigshow so he must of got a laugh out of it. God speed big-S and see ya around the traps soon when ya ready.

LOLs at your avatar....

Everyone who's been delisted or has retired is off the website except for Abbott.

Bodes well imo.

I think it's time to move on from all the O stuff popin.

 

[left at home]

its good to hear that he has help, he has a long way to go, and with support and understanding hopefully
the future is bright for brendon. l hope the club will re draft him if that is his wish to continue to play afl

So we just call him ppin from now on...

 

[Markfs]

Great to hear he is trying to keep positive and just as good to hear how supportive the club has been.

There is not much worse in life than depression (if that is what he is suffering from). I understand there are a number of forms of depression and varying degrees. However that is for another time and conversation.

I would think something terminal might be a bit worse... or maybe MS or parkinson's disease or the disease that Neil Danniher has got, which is terminal so I suppose that's already covered.

Bipolar? Depression issues?

 

[Horaceg]

Given Brenden's previous tweet related to beyond blue, connecting the dots he is struggling with depression.

All you care about for Brenden is his mental health and if he gets back into playing footy that's a bonus and the secondary thought.

Hopefully footy can be part of the solution at whatever level works for him

 

[ThePhantom777]

Loved these 2 tweets. Seems to love his BF nickname, the club and Swanny.

Bipolar? Depression issues?

Are you expecting answers to those questions?

 

[FireKrakouer]

Fantastic news, great to hear that the club are indeed supporting him. If it is a mental health issue then I can certainly empathise, and I know having an injury that prevents you from performing your usual activities will never help.

I don't believe that a few jokes and an endearing nick name will do him any harm. Get well soon Big Show! #sidebyside

On the website, Abbott remains the only delisted player at either senior or rookie level. Not sure what it means if anything. Could be just that they haven't rejigged the list after his late inclusion in the delistings.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Not from anyone in here. Just speculating in question form I guess. Is that an issue for you?

Just seems kind of pointless.

Just seems kind of pointless.

So now speculation isn't ok on a discussion forum?

Christ dude, you guys aren't leaving us with much to discuss.

Speculating about someone's personal problems is hardly worthy of discussion. Why don't we talk about the weather instead? Do you think we will get any flooding?

So a thread about Brenden Abbott revealing he had an "inside battle" (code for depression/bipolar) doesn't warrant speculation about exactly that?

Wouldn't have thought so. More a thread for people to voice their support. If you enjoy speculating about it then go for your life.
