We've seen it.
I'm sure there's been other players suffering from mental health on game day.
So I don't want to play that down at all.
But we haven't seen anything like this before.
I doubt now especially we'll ever see it again.
And
The AFL are mandating full-time psychologists to the club and every club's telling us that this is so unrealistic.
We get texts coming through from ballers listening going, I've tried to get my daughter or my son or my child in to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist and the wait is six months.
These people have work coming out of their ears.
They don't need to be going to AFL clubs dealing with,
the extra pressures of that.
So clearly I'm not qualified to speak about it, but then there's psychologists, then there's psychiatrists who are the ones that prescribe the medication.
So what is it?
Is it a psychologist or a psych?
Which one is it and which one are you prioritizing?
I just think, as I said on Crunch Time on Saturday with Kenny, leave it in the hands of your doctors.
The doctors have always known the best care for their players.
They will refer you to the specialist that they think is best for you and they will have the resources and the access to do that.
