Um, now I don't know, I don't know the details of it.
All, all I, um, sit and observe is that he's a, um, he's a poor kid that's had something go, go wrong with him.
We don't know what the reason is for that.
Um, the, the, the message by his father, just like.
Of all the stuff that has come out of that, that is the most impressive for mine.
That, that, that beautiful message that was sent by Ben about this is a, this is a young lad that's, um, that's going through a tough time, but I'm going to make him whole again.
Like what a, what a beautiful message, all the, the, the commentary around it and that sort of stuff.
And he just cut through to what was the most important thing.
And that was returning his son to full health.
Um, and, and in footy clubs, we've got a role to play in that, but there's, there is, there is no way that that club or any club is not trying to do the very best by their, uh, by their player.

And to be fair, they're not giving a rat's ass about the 999 that are having a crack at them because all they're caring about is getting the health of the player back in, back in check again.
But they've got to deal with the other stuff, but yeah, it needs, it needs to be done because no one likes to see it.
Um, so some sort of investigation needs to be done and, and Carlton would be the first club that's sitting there saying we need to work out how the hell did that happen?
