Rumour Jack Steven Rumour

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Sorry if I missed the thread on this but from a player down at Sandy, Jack Steven done the dirty on his missus and it was potentially with another players missus.

Apparently the leadership group were absolutely ropeable hence his time off recently.

If true Stevens is gone as that is not something that is forgivable. Doesn't matter if the teammate whose wife he cheated with is no where near as good as Stevens, a clubs culture can't survive if they keep a player like that in the team.

In saying that though I hope it isn't true.

He was at the Saints JLT game today so I find that rumour hard to believe, if he was that unpopular with the other players he wouldn't be there at all.

The footy media forgave Gary Lyons pretty quickly after doing something similar.

Gary Lyons was not a player that was a part of a club culture at the time.

 

[Milux]

It's either this or he is avoiding drug related testing. Might be on his 2nd strike so took some time off.

 

[juss]

Rumours must be flying because I heard a different one from a guy at work - he's off due to drug issues/strikes.

 

[Plugger35]

He's snorting nose beers with Hannebury and Carlisle, that's why they are all MIA at the moment.

Grant Thomas was on the money.

The fans need Thomo back commentating on footy somewhere. The AFL certainly don't want him anywhere near a microphone or a keyboard.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I heard he just felt like taking a break from footy

Why is the reported reason of "mental health issues" so unbelieveable?

Not just in this instance, but others too, why does everyone assume it's a cover-up for something else (usually assumed to be drug issues)?

 

[Frank Gallagher]

I heard he's being investigated for Nazi war crimes.

Seems to be the modern go to defence for anyone who gets caught doing the wrong thing, it's the best way to escape ridicule and gain pitty.

Humans are crafty *ers, if they see a socially accepted loophole they'll use it.

I love him, he doesn't give a *.

Hoping this turns out to be true

 

[jwikked]

Hoping this turns out to be true

Why

 

[Gameova_]

Maybe he sctuslly is depressed

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Anyone that thinks publicly acknowledging a mental health problem is the easy way out, just doesn't get the stigma attached. It shouldn't be there but it is what it is.

Acknowleging cocaine use probably has less impact on a players life.

The club is between a rock and a hard place, a player cant go missing without some explanation. I have noticed ours does give little away about players at times. I wonder if that's trying to protect their privacy when their struggling.

Unless you're at the Bulldogs and it's one of your best players cheating with the missus of a fringe player. You just get rid of the fringe player.

Who?

 

[DroopStDanny]

I heard he's been rehearsing with the other blokes from Noiseworks for a surprise reunion tour later in the year.

No lies.

North Melbourne supporter having a crack at another club about players cheating...

Context is king. Read RUNVS's qoute and I was just stating facts.

 

[Machine Gun Kelly]

I heard he's being investigated for Nazi war crimes.

Haha Frank I heard the same thing

 

[Silent Alarm]

This is why Gary Lyon, Buddy Franklin, all these people who have used 'depression' and 'mental illness' as excuses should be called out for their bullshit. People in the industry are too scared to say any of this, but that's cowardly as *.

No clue whether Jack Steven is going through some s**t or whether he's snaking his way out of something else.

What happens when a player goes through psychosis? Develops bipolar? He doesn't have to tell anyone why he's taking time out, but inevitably he'll be seen as a drug cheat or a cokehead unless he does.

The whole thing is just horseshit now. You basically have to say 'yeah tried killing myself' for it to be validated and honest.

1) Gary Lyon was a media personality not a currently listed AFL player under the CBA
2) do you know Buddy was using mental illness as an "excuse"

you should use your 2nd paragraph for every view you have on it. you really have no idea what is going on.
