But A senile Joe Biden did…..lol
Its clear as day he was severely depressed causing him to become an alcoholic to cover it up,
He is a kid who has admitted he was struggling and working his way back,
He missed this year with mental illness not ****ing up

All good mate im not that interested anymore. Too many chances now. I don't think there would be another player on any list in this day and age that would have been afforded as many chances as JUH but were still here.
This is the exact reason the number one cause of death in males under 40 is suicide.
I was referring to the period since his return to the club
Not going to name names for obvious reasons although I'm sure many could guess but off the top of my head I can think of 6 who are currently on lists (some of whom have returned to form or in career best form) who've all arguably been in far worse spots then Marra ever was.
Remind me Daz who won the coleman last year?
And would likely be leading the Coleman again this year if not for four missed games

Dogs have cleared him of any wrong doing. Move on
I’m not saying the JUH is actually right or wrong here but every single AFL/club investigation involves a blindfolded painter, a giant can of whitewash and a couple of Bobby’s following behind mumbling “all clear, nothing to see, move along please”
The whole completition is completely hamstrung by the players union who won’t allow any culpability. It’s the one useful thing the AFL media has historically provided (getting worse now as they are also on the inside) and I hate those campaigners like Black Death.

People don’t understand what it’s like to struggle with mental health, until they have.
A lot of comments in this thread are embarrassing.

After having the weekend to sit with everything, I think I was a bit harsh in my initial reaction.
Jamarra made the decision to leave his car with someone, and unfortunately, things played out the way they did. He’s not responsible for what the car was later involved in, and it’s important to remember he wasn’t in a good headspace before heading into rehab. That context matters. But he is responsible for who he trusts, and who he chooses to spend his time with — and that’s something he’ll need to keep working on.
At some point, the club will have to decide whether it’s willing and able to keep putting resources — from an already stretched soft cap — into supporting not just Jamarra as a player, but the complex situations that sometimes follow him. He’s not a burden, not at all. But like many young players, he carries some baggage. The upside, though, is massive — and most of us believe that the rewards often outweigh the risks, if the growth continues.
I support him, and I support the club. I’ve said all along I’ll keep backing him until the club makes a different call — and if that day comes, I’ll understand. But until then, I’ll keep hoping for the best for him.
Now that he’s out of rehab and has been training consistently (outside of the understandable break after the loss of an elder), I really hope we continue to see clearer decision-making, continued healing, and the growth most feel he’s capable of.

Football industry and supporters will talk about how sad and tragic it is when they hear about the Selwood twins (rightfully so) but then at the same time have no problems having a go at JUH.

Im not sure that VicPol would've given JUH the all clear if they were able to connect him as an accessory to an indictable offence as serious as the alleged drive by. Or indeed any crimes. Something that for all of the column inches, bigfooty and social media postings on the matter has been completely absent from the discussion.
The AFLPA/AFLMedia cabals reach travels only so far.

Not sure theres ever been a guy who skips the entirety of pre season, mocks the media, gets his car stolen twice (one used in a drive by), checks himself into rehab, routinely misses training, misses a whole season to go on a bender, has a nude leaked online, publicly hangs around shit campaigners (criminals) getting up to no good instead of focusing on his career and manages to survive at the AFL club he was drafted.
He's robbed the club this year.
I understand the mental health card but enoughs enough.
Bevo fully supported Tom Boyd and his struggles. His tone is entirely different when it comes to Jamarra. If it swims like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck then it's probably a duck guys.
At his 3rd club
This whole saga has unfortunately revealed more about the lack of understanding society has towards ill mental health.
Someone who has owned up to they way they were feeling, the destructive nature of it and privately and publicly apologised is still being raked over the coals by people that purport to support them.
For what? For a stupid game? A 23 year old who has talked about being close to suicide gets this reaction because he's not kicking a ball on the weekend for the team you like? You childish pricks.
I'm genuinely embarrassed by this thread and some of the people on this board.

John Nicholls - the Carlton premiership player and premiership captain coach - spent the first 3 months of his 4th VFL season (1960) serving a jail term in Pentridge.
Gary Ablett snr and Nicky Winmar both took extended breaks in season from their clubs at the height of their careers, when they were probably the highest paid player at each club.

I have deleted my last post after reading yours. If what JUH is saying about be close to suicide is accurate then he needs all the help can get. As I do not know what is accurate, I should take him on face value and just leave it there.
The disappointment as a supporter in wanting the club to get better means little in life and death situations.

Lucky you are not in charge of decisions regarding JUH ... as an employee, be he ours or the leagues, he is entitled to a range of supports. In this day and age you can't just flick an employee because they don't fit the program.
