Post subject: Mental health in AFL - Dayne Beams | |
|
Dane has succumbed to this ever increasing ailment
We have had Buddy and our Faz and Trav Cloke
Dane stepped down handing captain job to Zorko
Know he ain’t ours but according to Channel 7 mental health on the rise
in 17 to 22 yr age group and 8 people taking their own lives every day _________________ I'm not arguing--just explaining why i am right |

As most know here I'm close to Dayne and his family and I spoke to Dayne before we played them and I didn't see this coming
I've known Dayne and his family since they arrived from Yarrawonga in the 1990's and Dayne spent many hours with my son and myself along with his brother Claye. They've been like an extension of my family for many years.
Today again I spoke with Dayne and let him know that he has support outside his inner circle and he actually told me he's been getting professional help for some time now.
I had hoped that with the prognosis of his father becoming clear early he may have been able to adjust to this easier but like many others especially males he didn't deal with the emotions of losing a loved one.
If you go watch his presser on the AFL you get a better insight into what's been happening
He does take the time out during the interview to thank the Collingwood supporters when his father passed and made mention of his time at our club
Remember everyone has those down days or down periods in there life and it's ok not to be ok and it's ok to seek help and talk
I strongly encourage anyone out there who's suffering any form a depression to seek help immediately and be the best you you can be |

I've always loved Dayne as a player, and respected him as a young man.
I was moved by this. It takes guts to publicly declare you need help - that it's ok to need help. It's great he is in an (ostensibly) supportive club environment, too.
The death of his father, the pending arrival of a newborn - that would be an emotional rollercoaster of a year for anyone. Dayne looks to be doing right by himself, and giving himself some time to process. Best of luck to him.
I was pretty disappointed to lose him to Brisbane, but you couldn't fault his reasons. If we had to lose him, I am pretty rapt that it was to give him just a little bit more time with his father.

As someone who lost their dad 6mths after diagnosis to cancer, I know how he feels.
My Dad, and his father before him, were died in the wool Pies supporters who passed the gene onto me back in the late 60s. _________________ Social club member 7342 since 2000. |

Can the mods add a y to Dane please.
Grammatical errors don't generally worry me but a minimum standard should be spelling the name of a former premiership player correctly in a thread title. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

i agree - it’s a concern that the spelling of his name has been confused with the spelling of the name of one of our all-time greats. |

Huh, you want it to read as Daney? _________________ How would Siri know when to answer "Hey Siri" unless it is listening in to everything you say? |

It's natural to grieve when you lose someone as close to you as your father. That's not depression and it's not a mental illness. (Unless there's something else going on that I've missed.)
He's just a kid, he needs time to heal and absolutely did the right thing stepping down.
But **** me sideways, grief is not a mental illness. |

I should have prefaced that with a content warning for unpleasant truths. |

The only warning required is that this is in the wrong forum. I can’t believe I can’t mock Carlton in GD but I can read about guys who play occasionally for the Bears. |
