Nathan Buckley spoke yesterday about JHF’s challenges and him not getting enough support in the industry.
Kane Cornes
has come out today and blasted Jordan De Goey
for going to Bali for his 4 day mid season break.
When do these journalists (using the term loosely) and radio/former player personalities get told to rein it in with some of the commentary they make about current players?
Imagine being told by your boss you aren’t allowed to go on a holiday during your own rec time during a break from work.
I’m not endorsing players going to Vegas during the mid season bye, or for players to make impromptu trips interstate mid week, but there has to be a line drawn around what isn’t acceptable from the media when it comes to what players can and can’t do.
I’m sure there’ll be posters here who’ll agree with Cornes, and that’s also disappointing, but we talk about men’s mental health, and then when there is an opportunity for someone to escape their 9-5, they’re shot down. Would the media be saying the same thing if an AFLW footballer was going to Bali during their break?
There needs to be more accountability around the things media personalities can say because they don’t help the situation when it comes to mental health of AFL footballers.
