    Annette Sharpe attempts to apologise:



    Turns out to be a weird article about models and football stars.

      Everyone has been so PC about it (Oh we gotta care about his health), which is understandable, but I have a feeling a lot of people, if they're honest, are just as upset as myself.
      OMG - upset??? Really??? I'm thinking that a persons wellbeing is far more important than footy. What is PC about showing compassion ??? If Buddy was well enough to have played he would have pure & simple.. If Jack wasn't injured he would have played. If Parker wasn't injured he would have played. The list goes on. The media's lust for scandal knows no bounds.

      Upset??? My god there are far more serious and important things to be truly upset about in this life - who does & who doesn't play in a footy game isn't one of them
      I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

        I just read it - it wasn't a very good attempt. She will cop a lot of flack on this as well. Rightly so.

            Longmire on ABC Grandstand at the moment. Very positive noises about Lance. Expects him to be back for pre-season, and he's "going well" and is getting the best professional help. Mentioned the fact we've had mental health support at the club for a decade.

              Excellent now i hope all these idiotic rumours stop. I particularly liked the one that said he was sleeping with a teammates partner, a rumour which started after the Anthony Stevens interview not even creative...

                I heard the interview too. It won't make any difference though, Buddy having difficulty with his health is not a juicy enough story for the media, they will spin it anyway they want and it will then get spun further on forums. Evidence? Who needs that.

                  Certainly not cartman48, aka Cliff from Clematis.

                  After listening to Horse, there is absolutely no way cartman/Cliff's rumour could be true.

                    Did you think, even for a nanosecond, that it might have been?

                    Longmire has been a advocate for mental health issues and their effect on footy players for a while. Why would he lose any credibility he has on this subject by using mental health problems to cover a 3rd strike? That's not to say its impossible Lance's issues are partly drug related. Who knows (and at this point, who really cares)? But it wouldn't be as simple as just a 3rd strike. If that were the case, he'd take his medicine - a suspension, or whatever - and then pick up from where he left off.

                    The AFL, too, has denied he has received a 3rd strike. Why would figures like Gillon Mc risk their credibility either?

                      In a word, no. But it continues to astonish me the way people keep circulating this stuff, using phrases like "credible source", as if to convince themselves (or us) it's not a complete malicious fabrication. Human beings are capable of monstrous self-delusion, and footy supporters are the supreme exponents of this capability.

                          He's way better than Andrew Demetriou

                            Demetriou never shafted us the way McLachlan has, and he usually had the decency to give a full explanation of his decisions.

                              Agree. Compared to McLoughlin, Demetriou was a friend.

                                Demetrious was far better than McLachlan in terms of equitable treatment of Northern clubs.
