Why all the cryptic innuendos?
That is tragically very common with people suffering mental health problems. They feel so good because of the meds and think they don't need them anymore. We just need more open discussion about mental health and to remove the stigma associated with it. People on blood pressure mediaction don't come off it when it brings their blood pressure down because there isn't the stigma involved with taking blood pressure medication.Frawleys main problem was he stopped taking his drugs thinking he was cured then he experienced a massive drop in response and tragically pushed him too far down.
I think that you will find that many people required to take prescription medication daily to manage their illness fail to take it regularly, so I imagine people taking medication for episodic conditions (some mental health illnesses, gout etc) are more likely to forget about it if you don't really notice any difference in the short to medium term. People are more likely to ensure that their pet gets their medication before they think about taking their own.People on blood pressure mediaction don't come off it when it brings their blood pressure down because there isn't the stigma involved with taking blood pressure medication.
Some antidepressants are almost impossible not to take. Effexor is one that'll usually have your head spinning if you don't take it on time, so you get that friendly reminder.I think that you will find that many people required to take prescription medication daily to manage their illness fail to take it regularly, so I imagine people taking medication for episodic conditions (some mental health illnesses, gout etc) are more likely to forget about it if you don't really notice any difference in the short to medium term.

Well you never know who'll read this thread and tell their uncle who's a QC.
Post 2018 Best and fairest speech at Brisbane, Beams had an argument with a few Brisbane coaches and board members about finishing 2nd to Zorko in a year he believed he was the best.
These confrontations lead to be a major part in Brisbane being happy to trade him back to Collingwood only weeks after his infamous speech.
Eddie got a good lawyer to rep beams and his mate from coburg vflafter an incident the night of the 2010 win.
The lawyer, repping two parties being questioned by police, made them agree not to investigate happenings a bit before the alledged rape that was ultimately the topic of the trial.
When this was agreed upon, the lawyer stopped representing the vfl player and his family had to find his defence (Collingwood/Eddie were previously).
He was acquitted at trial.
The impact of this was that beams avoided being investigated too much or having his name dragged through the mud. But his mate was left to potentially take it on the neck and the alleged victim didn't really get the chance for justice.

Good point, they should just say 'personal matters' if the intent is to protect the player solely.An interesting thing to note mental illness is the lack of detail. An injury we get the most intimate detail, illness like cancer and we'll know if it's in his testicles or on his skin.
There's a tonne of different mental health issues and we don't often hear the details. No one has the right to know someone medical issues of course it's just interesting that it seems mental health is where we draw the line.

If you watch his speech and his crocodile tears he also says he loves the club and isnt going anywhere....... Then 2 weeks later backflips.
As someone battling depression for the last 7 years i hope you find some solace peace and comfort in life.
That still doesn't mean you aren't a ***** of a person though.
There is the assumption that someone in power at Collingwood offered to clear his assumed debts if he did change his mind, and for someone with a family thats an offer thats difficult to refuse. I know loyalty should be encouraged, but when you have two mouths to feed, and a wife to support, you do whats best. Doesnt excuse him entirely, but it does change it from simply: He said this then decided to backflip. He likely had a very good reason why he flipped on his words.
Ultimately, it worked out best for us, since we brought in Neale and other deals. Hurts we lost someone like Crisp for him, who Id love to have back, but thats the nature of the game.
He "conveniently" walked as the first half of his contract was front-loaded which he probably blew and was probably getting double the $ at Collingwood in salary comparison to the last two years he had left with the Lions.

Very well said.I hope Beams is getting all the support that he needs to recover. I equally hope he is held to account for any indiscretions. Current society is quick to exonerate people if there’s a sniff of mental illness. Having a mental illness & being a terrible individual is not always mutually exclusive. Sadly it can be used as a shield or an excuse when making poor decisions, & broadly, being s**t bloke. Accountability is rarely included in the narrative. My immediate thought in this scenario was empathy toward Dayne’s family & those that are close to him. Often they are the silent victims who are the collateral damage.
