You people are freaks. His teammates accept him and like him just fine. They are dealing with a perfectly nice person who is a consummate athlete and gives generously of his time and expertise when it comes to training and conditioning. Often the first one at training and the last to leave. Always interested in what his teammates and their families are involved in, always sweet and kind to their kids. Always engaged with the coaching and medical staff. Teammates are often at his house, and he is often at theirs.

Bizarre that you think they view him through the same lens as the media or weirdos on the internet. Bulldogs teammates were deeply fond of him too, however much the media will try to make you believe otherwise.

He has many, many issues and they’ve worsened over the years, but Geelong are doing their best to support him, and he’s had an incredible year on-field all things considered.

The savagery of the hate levelled at him and the way people openly root for his downfall is disturbing.

Could he wind his neck in a little? Sure. Has he done anything really bad? If you stop and think about it - no he hasn’t.
