Good for Betts to be captain... but its clearly racist. Swap Indigenous to Caucasian and imagine the chaos.

Interesting... I don't see it as racist at all, in fact I would love to see a game of 'real football' not this mickey mouse stuff.

I think it would be great for footy and also for them playing in the same team as their 'brothers'.

Think the term is used unnecessarily in this instance.

Just heard. Fortunately he'll have a lot of good people around him for support.

Serves as a reminder that we still have a long way to go in destigmatising mental health issues and allowing everyone to feel comfortable enough to get help when they need it.

An indigenous team makes me wonder how legit the "draft" is. What happens if the other 3 captains pick the indigenous players?

I’m sure they are told not to

AFLX is going no where fast

Destigmatising is part of it, but its still a hard one to approach.

When at my worst, even if I knew I would be looked after and leaving aside the stigma issues, I'm not going to talk to anyone because I think I'm too worthless to deserve help.

Same. At my worst I'm looking to bury deeper in the darkness, and not at all of a mind to accept the light of anyone's help. It is a nasty pit.

You're right. I shouldn't oversimplify.

It is deeper and darker than even seems possible. A long way down if I just keep digging.

I tried to die when I was 16, and failed only by a fluke when my foster brother found me. He was so angry with me, and couldnt work it out. I wanted real hard to try again when I was 21 and came pretty close, but something in that last time came back and reminded me how part of me was glad to still be around.

Now even when I'm at my darkest, and part of me wants to not be here, I know I wont, I know I shouldnt do it, and I get help, but I probably wouldnt have but for that experience of coming very close.

One of my best nights out was watching Ron Carroll. A DJ that sings during his set is awesome to watch.

Love this track.
