Shane Birss suffering from depression

[dash61]

I too echo everyones thoughts

It shows how much the kids and young men today have to shoulder in all forms of elite football, This illness in sport is becoming more common and the sporting clubs do have to do even more to look after the welfare of sporting people.

I hope St Kilda are helping as well, I know in recent weeks he has had a couple of mates at games adding moral support, welldone to Sam Fisher & Jacob Schubach for being there supporting him

I'm pretty sure I read or heard somewhere that Shane is getting back on track and had a kick in the 2's on the weekend against the Eagles.

I saw him a fortnight ago at Elizabeth and he looked in good spirits sitting up in the coaches box, so it is good news to hear. Well done Shane and good luck in the comeback.

Yeah he played in the reserves. Could be playing league in the next couple of weeks
