Rumours and Stuff

I'm sure we were happy to lose Foran after it looked like we were going to have to count his TPAs against our salary cap.
Im sure BA would have preferred to have got the player he thought he was getting. Obviously our pre employment checks were poor. Wasnt there talk after Foran went rogue that the media were well aware of his issues but didnt disclose for obvious reasons? I find it difficult to believe someone who coached at the joint had no idea. I believe BA knew exactly what he was getting but thought he could control it. Interesting also that the once tight relationship between BA and KF now appears done and dusted.

I feel for Foran, he’s a complete flip.

Why?
How many times after someone commits suicide due to depression do you hear friends and family say "We had no idea he was suffering in this way" or something along those lines.
Many people who suffer from depression find ways to hide it from others. That's a big reason why it ends up so badly in a lot of cases, because the ones suffering don't get the help and support they need.

You can't help bad luck. Plenty of players have off-field issues that don't hurt their on-field performance.
