If it was the flu, I think they would have just come out and said it. If it's homesickness you would think he'd enjoy going back to Melbourne to see his family and friends. IMO it could be mental illness.

I'm kinda hoping we don't play finals as stupid as it sounds I still think we need more high draft picks.
Well that escalated quickly.
What's your PB with diagnosing motor neuron disease / pancreatic cancer / total renal failure?
Been thinking the same thing. A mediocre pick doesnt help us..
Where did you read something that made you make that giant leap? All I have seen in articles is 'illness' which is usually what they say for cold/flu.
You sir are a flog.

Its more than likely the flu. Zac D was sick with the flu last week.
Unfortunately the ins really highlight the lack of depth we have on the list atm. Player ready depth that is.
My preference is logue in, however playing as a backman for peel and then being thrown in the foward line for freo seems strange. Likelihood is pearce comes in and hopefully next week we see pearce out and balic back in

Not really our business whether it's mental illness or the runs in my opinion.

As someone that manages my own personal mental illness (depression and anxiety) I'm afforded days/time off work when it's bad. It's rare (maybe once a year) and is very random. But when you feel it, I can't describe what it's like but you just want to be a recluse.
The statistics of mental illness in young adults:
1/6 Australians between 16-24 have anxiety
1/16 Australians between 16-24 have depression
Statistically it wouldn't surprise me if more AFL players miss games managing their illness. I've learned to manage it and aren't afraid to talk about it because I really couldn't care what anyone thinks about it.
If you think I'm a flog for giving my opinion, good for you
Edit: part of the reason I formed my opinion are the reports of him being homesick and having to deal with injuries for the past two years, topped with the pressures of being an AFL footballer.

It is interesting though, as we know he and his parents fear of him moving so far from home. If ever there was a flight risk on the list, it was him.
I will go out on a limb and say that Blakely is a certainty to make the final 22.
Glad I could clear that up.

I was going to say he probably has the shits.
Did he read the Richmond preview thread as well?

Yeah I thought the flog call was a bit too far.

I have a bit of a cough with some congestion due to phlegm,
With my personal experience in this field it sounds to me this is what he is suffering, expect him to bounce back next week
Bloke is finally playing, and playing well even with the pressure of being an AFL footballer.

I'm not saying I'm right, I could be completely wrong however I always used to say I had personal issues and left it at that early on. Now I'm completely comfortable disclosing it to people.
Anyway back to the topic, I hope it's Pearce that comes in and is the only change. Let Logue get a bit more confidence at Peel.
