Why can't we extend the same slack to blokes like him as we do those suffering from depression? Clearly there were some things going on that didn't allow him to function as well as he could in a professional sporting team.
The game has changed, its not about contested ball as much, its about scores from turnovers. Runners, decision makers and kickers. Simpson is on the highest shelf.
I really mean this, the best thing that club could do right now is employ Neesham as a welfare/development manager. There are too many corporate types who don't have the soft skills or humanistic attributes to deal with immature highly talented athletes.
I am more hurt about this than any win loss ratio.
