Probably as prevalent as it has been in the past but men are now more comfortable speaking out about it.Matthew Broadbent taking leave to deal with some mental health issues

Which is a good thing.
+ clubs are more comfortable about treating it like a health issue so are giving players time off for it.
I’m sure it’s not that much more prevalent than ever

From a man that is a long time depression and anxiety sufferer, I am really happy that alot of the stigma has been taken away from the condition. There are still alot of old timers out there that don't believe Mental Illness exists, so getting through them is a harder task.
What do they do about the oval though? I think having concerts and other stuff on during the pre-season is not helping but the government will push for those events to make money on the stadium.
Im no expert about the way the grass works but is playing big bash doing any damage?

I don’t think playing cricket there is damaging it, I think it’s more that initially, the turf and the underlay materials would’ve been chosen with both footy and cricket in mind. Cricket wants a harder faster deck for more runs, and also so it could play as close to the traditional WACA surface as possible. Had it been designed solely for footy, you’d think the ground would have been deliberately made softer.
So in short, cricket is partly to blame, but probably more in the planning and initial build stages rather than after the fact and actually playing cricket there.

Maybe water on the surface doesn’t effect the softness because if what’s underneath the grass??? I don’t know, we’d need a turf expert I guess to explain it and come up with a solution. It must be easier said than done though if were still having these issues 18 months into playing games there

Isn't the ground a mixture of grass and artificial turf? I don't imagine that would help.

! Same...... Lucky I tipped last week. Phew!
That was probably really traumatic - sounds like the person in the back burned to death
Both these teams way better than us even though we bet Adelaide. Don't really care who wins this
