Just my opinion, thought that he may have had enough.

Nevertheless, what a wonderful fairytale story, down in the dumps again only to haul himself back to the very top of the game. Truly inspiring stuff.

Hard to tell if you're dinkum or taking the piss Q!

Amazing that someone who has had all these problems is suddenly back at work today. :roll:

Nice work, glad you know all the ins and outs of this story :roll:
Fact of the matter is the club did the right thing by him and hopefully he can stay on track and repay the club.
Those who have had personal issues (or even mental illness) know how hard it is to perform normal everyday activities such as going to work!


Do you know what went on?

No, like a lot of things that occur at footy clubs we can only guess.
I have heard a few different stories, but they are hearsay

Some quack has come out and said all the high contact he has copped over the years may have contributed to his mental issues

Have no doubt, plenty of NFL players have been diagnosed with it.
Think its just a cop out with Krakouer though

Maybe, maybe not. Although, I think all the talk came from his manager and not Krakouer himself.

The mental health issues are from consistantly being hit in the head week in, week out. Like in the NFL.

Krakouer served his time, so give it a rest!
