Worth a look or not??
On the Couch reported he might be considering a return to the AFL.
I know he's struggled with depression but he now might be in a better place.

Basically Jessie White with a bit more aggression.
If he had his head in a good place you'd certainly have a look at him. He'd have to nominate for the draft so is available to anyone, including with a rookie pick.

Watch him return to Fremantle....
And if he does it's going to make his initial reasons seem a bit....you know.

Worth a look? Absolutely he's worth a look!
I just hope our ability to mange mental health at Collingwood is better than our ability to manage physical health...

My understanding of the situation is that, because they delisted him, he actually now qualifies as a Delisted Free Agent, which means he could be had simply by way of making him an offer...

Interesting.
Technically they did delist him, but he also asked to leave during a contract and they had a negotiated settlement. He initiated the separation.
If he does get his head right and put his hand up it will be very interesting to see how the AFL manage it.

If he's ready to play AFL again, get him.
Depression is a terrible thing to suffer from, and I know that Collingwood (amongst other clubs) have things in place to help identify and deal with depression.
It'd be great for him to return to the AFL. It would show great strength and I'd love for Collingwood to be the club he does it at.
