Meltdown Buddy out with "mental health" issue

[blue gunslinger]

Using injunctions often triggers underlying undiagnosed mental health issues especially the 3rd time it is undiagnosed

 

[Haduken]

Harsh, but not the first time I've heard him called that.

You're about as humorous as the STD's you have

 

[Sydney Bloods]

**** a duck so much melting from hawk fans. clearly buddies not the only vic in need of a trip to the funny farm.

 

[Bayer_]

Vintage Bay thread, surely.

 

[bontshow]

Not a situation to troll. Good luck to him and hope he recovers. The fact he's a footballer and earns big $$$$ are completely irrelevant.
Depression/anxiety is a scourge and shows that everyone is potentially susceptible to the Black Dog.

Isn't it epileptic fits from too many party drugs?

 

[evo]

You would excel working at an abbatoir; your butchering skills are impeccable

I reckon that's the first time in 20 years on message boards I've seen someone type a word and not get one letter correct.

It's a bloody work of art!!!

 

[jedi mind tricks]

This will be one of Failmantles all time great chokes.

You really are scum

 

[A Cut Above]

You're that upset and I haven't even mentioned Hird once since coming back?!? Geez mate get a hold of yourself.

So now Caro is telling us Buddy has "anxiety". The media is going into overdrive to cloud the issue, anything to hose down drug-related suspicion.

If you can be bothered wading through the jargon of the DSM 5, then you will see addiction is indeed classified as a mental disorder.
I think you will find the AFL and the AFL media ponies will be very specific in the language they use around this scenario.

 

[Gongswan]

Drug addiction is treated as a mental health issue.

sounds like you're an expert in hte field, not

when you actually work in hte field it's not the case, people often end up in hte wrong facility, mostly meth users, because of teh psychosis, even cannabis users with extreme depression/anxiety. But they are turfed post detox to find their own way into rehab

 

[Gongswan]

He also didn't like being told to pull his head in when he had one of his "seizures" in America post 2012*.



*year has been stricken from record books.

On;y by Hawf supporters

 

[Gongswan]

I think 3-4 beers is a bit different to the illicit drugs epidemic that is rife at the $wans.

at last, an insider at the Swans comes out with the truth, tell us more Oh great one

I'm not disputing that in the field it's not as clear cut as the DSM classifies it. The DSM doesn't take into account funding, state legislation, service policy etc. The point I was making is the media and those with a vested interest are able to throw a 'mental health' blanket over a very specific problem, like substance addiction, because it's classified as such in the DSM. The average punter is likely to swallow the story without giving it too much thought because it's still a bit taboo to question people's mental health.

 

[Frankston Rover]

LOL meltdown

Sounds like another Jonathan Hay moment - hawks ousting someone with issues to some other club to deal with.

It's not eBay.

You don't get a refund for making a dud decision.

7 years to go, too... What a club.

Day 2. Buddy resting quietly.

Frankston Rover still melting deliciously.

IS there anything "hosing down" your suspicion right now?

You've even turned on your Caro.

Great work on that Buddy deal, Dick.

How many good seasons did you get out of him again?

Just the one? Ah well, only seven to go.

 

[Vikingblood]

He does suffer from mild epilepsy, but the seizures are completely unrelated to his current situation. As for it being from "party drugs", that is pure speculation on your part. There is no evidence that he has any strikes recorded against him.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Don't get what the big deal is even if he is on drugs. If he is, better to come out rather than just hide it away. Same for Hawks, Swans, Cats or any other team.

The old 'self report' eh - what could possibly go wrong?

 

[db swannie]

Nobody is trolling the illness - more testing the veracity of the claim

"Testing" by means of innuendo, not facts, nor scientific methodology. I work with scientists, they'd be very skeptical of your use of the term, given the level of rigour in this thread.

I'd suggest the "big deal" for the Swans is the big deal whereby they agreed to pay the AFL's Charlie Sheen a fair chunk of their salary cap to play football. Something which he finds himself unable to do.

Scraping their croc slides off the porcelain doesn't count, Melty.

 

[leobarryustar]

Wow some grade A shit blokes in here, justifying fabricating the drugs angle for some petty troll. Hawk fans used to cheer him on once upon a time. Starburns_ presiding over 12 pages of injury trolling.
