Play Nice Majak Daw in hospital after jumping from the Bolte bridge

[Greg Tivendale]

Just heard this on the radio. No player has been named but they said he was "of note". Still alive (thank god).

Anyone heard more on this?

 

[Iworkthecircus]

just heard on the wireless some afl player in his 20s decided to have a jump off it .

This true ?

Hard to narrow it down to who the player is without much to go on but player in his 20s, could be Majak Daw.

Media outlets are reporting an AFL player fell off the Bolte Bridge near Lorrimer Street last night and landed in or near the Yarra River. The player is now in hospital recovering with reportedly non-life threatening injuries. The MFB deployed their fire boat to assist in the recovery of the player.

The club has not made a statement as of yet (8:45am)

Well he was the first to come to mind on the basis they said African appearance

He survived thankfully

Not from Melbourne so don't know what the Bolte is like. Was it a suicide attempt?

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

I really hope it was just an accident but not sounding good. Poor bloke.

Wouldn’t be used for a casual walk

They just put suicide barriers on the bolti as well but poorly designed. Easy enough to climb up if your determined enough.

So according to reddit the person stopped their car on the bridge and jumped off. This is terribly sad

There are no footpaths or cycle lanes on the Bolte meaning someone would have pull over first. Hope the fella's family, friends, and club gather round him and give him support and love.

 

[Unknown Identity]

A thread was posted on reddit last night around midnight, someone said they pulled the car over on the Bolte and jumped off.

This was before it was known to be an AFL player.

Great news that he survived, hopefully a turning point for the young man

Wasn't the first player to come to my mind I must say

It is great that he survived. It's a relief to hear he did.
The best thing that will come from this is that he will get the help he needs so hopefully he never has to go through it again.

I've been in the exact same place and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

AFL star Majak Daw is recovering in hospital after a serious incident on the Bolte Bridge last night.

Emergency services rescued North Melbourne player Daw, 27, who was found in the Yarra River about 11pm last night.

Daw is believed to have suffered a broken hip in the fall but did not suffer life-threatening injuries.
