Well Fremantle is renowned for being a fishing harbour.

Hooked.
So Hogan gets caught drinking and generally being a nong this close to the start of the season and now he's depressed.
Next time I stuff up at work I'll just say I'm depressed and ask for a week off. See how that goes.

Could be, but could also be that he uses alcohol to medicate his anxiety...
And other things!

Then he's a nong who should use the correct ways and the readily available support systems he has through the club, family or privately.
He isn't smart

he recently chose to play for freo........chose......
Which will only ever end in tears. If the answer lies in the bottle, the wrong question is being asked (I do enjoy a tipple myself, but would never do so when suffering anxiety/depression).
Disappointed Juddy didn't back Caroline on tonight's Footy Classified when Hutchy continually angles for the twilight GF. Let the crowd vote and I reckon Juddy missed a trick

Yep, that's gotta cause you some sleepless nights. "What the **** have I DONE?!!"

Some footballers do indeed suffer from depression.
But in many cases it is "depression".
The second alternative is the reason Melbourne flicked him.
On a side note, the cynicism of the AFL shits me to tears. Routinely uses "depression" or "mental health issues" as a smoke screen for drug use, and everybody knows it. And apparently gives not a care about the damage that does to players who actually do suffer mental health problems, or indeed the wider community of sufferers. Arseholes.
Not sure that everybody knows that, but most would be thinking that.
Have we blended the two situations into a ; If you're using drugs, you therefore have a mental illness?

Same logical validity as "I have seen a black cat, therefore cats are black".
In any case, nobody would have a problem with mention of underlying mental health issues associated with drug use; either as a contributing factor or as a consequence. It's the direct substitution of one for the other, for no better reason than the AFL obsession with "the optics".
This. As someone who has suffered from mental health issues for a long time, I'm sick of the AFL. It seems like Hogan got drunk and broke team rules, now it's 'clinical anxiety'. Seems to be a pattern developing with the AFL to throw 'mental health' out as an excuse, which is so disrespectful to sufferers and WRONG!
If Hogan does have clinical anxiety then he wouldn't be able to function very well, and a loud bar or nightclub would be a horrible place to be.

Video doing the rounds this morning of Hogan from last week, off his chops, no pants, his jaw swinging in the wind.
It really pisses me off, the idea that players are getting on it, getting caught and then using this as a way of escaping punishment.
A huge % of the population uses or has used drugs, not all have anxiety and depression, until they caught.
