Why do these issues affect some more than others. It seems the Lower socio- economic background players struggle with professionalism more than others.

I can't answer that question. Maybe you're correct I honestly don't know ,but percentage wise it does seem too high

Generations of bad parenting. Or parenting with different values when compared to social norms. If you compared life outcomes from any group of long term generationally unemployed, you’d find the same limitations. It’s hard to get out and easy to get dragged back in.

Any evidence of that?

I think it will become more prevalent because of generational attitudes than anything else.

Look at his generation and how they are in the workplace.

His attitude seems rather common among his peers.

Raise draft age might help. Even the NBA does that, whom AFL likes to copy.

Would that not harm the progress of highly talented players? Forcing them to play "too low" a level for an additional year or two?

It's a regular overreaction that gets trotted out all the time. Hundreds go through the drafts over a decade and don't act like f wits at professional level. Just because we get a dozen blokes going off the rails, doesn't mean the whole draft year should be changed. It robs talented players of more pay, and a longer career and near kill off 300 gamers if implemented. The issue isn't the draft age, its people making excusing for misbehaving players. and punishing those who have done nothing wrong before they even get drafted.

If he's not fit to work, does that mean he goes on incapacity benefits or something?
Is he just addicted to something?

 

[spenze]

So, what's he worth now in a trade?

I just can't see him being at the Dogs next year and if he wants out, what value does he hold? It is a real case of the buyer taking on all the risk

Absolutely. Shaved off all his hair just like Ben.

Worth fk all and Doggies will be happy to pay a massive chunk of his salary to see the back of him

Just an incredibly sad fall from grace if that happens

 

[spenze]

Yeah, that is definitely in the ballpark, possible though that it would be a 2nd rounder taking full salary, it's not great.

A combination of social media and money can screw up a few kids without the right guidance. They instantly think they’re rich and famous because people enjoy their tiktoks and they kicked 2 on the weekend. All the meanwhile contracts are getting longer and they know they’re not going to get booted from the system.

Lots of Noongars refer themselves as that, maybe even more than 'Aboriginal.' lots of government / social services incorporate it in the name, Noongar Services, Noongar Patrol, the state government use it a heap and kids always used it themselves.

Noongar FM. Best radio station in the country. And they teach you noongar between the songs!
