Isaac Moses has already played the mental health card twice with Mitch Moses and Galvin. Three times would be too much of a cliché, so now it's just straight up rebellion. People are guessing that Douehie will go to Dogs or Bears.

Youre right, you can only have certain amount of bad break ups but this is the case among all clubs, all sports everywhere.
You are dealing with high performing, testosterone filled athletes who are emotional and have tendencies to take risks.
We are particularly bad at it because as much as the salary cap is good at evening out the competition, it also inflates our players values. Our club simply doesn't have the support required for elite athletes.
Every player has a different issue. Bateman didn't like Benji as a person, Brooks was sick of losing, Matterson felt overworked and underpaid, Teddy wanted to chase personal excellence, Mitch felt his ego was hurt.
If you want to be a professional club, you need so much support staff that our club doesn't provide.
It's not a blame at one party or another, just an unfortunate truth of our existence.

If you are the 7 and cant put on a single point against a struggling Bulldogs team and the coach brings in Javon to assist with attack man up and take it on the chin and work harder.
Also learn how to pass to your outside men instead of being a glory hunting ball hog.
What an entitled little sook.

Just a guess but it would not be

Forget about AD's poor behaviour for a second, that's clear.
However, I was wondering why did it happen on the Thursday, two days before the game?
Why wouldn't these discussions take place at the start of the week? Or even weeks a go?
Did AD find out, all of a sudden?
Just wondering how this was managed?

Terrell May has clauses in his contract about Benji remaining the head coach ..
He must be campaigning for him to go so he can be free to move on
It’s confusing

Pretty spot on
It was expected that AD would be out due to suspension. He was named at 22 whilst he fought the charge at the judiciary.
He was cleared and expected to be slotted into the 7.
Benji had already named Javon in the 7 and he trained there all week. Benji obviously wanted to give him debut, so told AD he would play lock.
AD didn’t want to play lock.
Reading between the lines he has chosen to sit this week out, rather than play lock. Javon will have his debut and AD will return next week.
imagine how Javon is feeling!!

That’s right up there with riding your bike past your year 6 girlfriend’s house after she dumps you for the new kid….
Goose!!
No only are our senior players dumb on field, they’re dumb in real life.
I said it the other day - Javon wasn’t named at 7 to not play 7 this week,
Adam needed to read between the lines a little…
Keary said the same thing last night, you don’t name a kid to debut at 7
- if he’s not debuting at 7…
You name him on the bench or some such!!

maybe it was a Jerry Maguire move and as he left he was saying "whose coming with me? " kept driving around the block waiting for someone to take up the offer.

Hopefully the get him a good lawn mower.
Maybe tackling weeds is more his style.

Then they would be as dumb as he is. It a dictatorship not a democracy. Players have no business demanding where they play.
If they don't like where they are selected to play or what grade the they can piss off, it can't work any other way ......

I highly doubt the dogs look at him given his theatrics.. for everything galvin did, he didnt refuse to play.. infact he went and played a KOE game with a smile on his face. From all accounts, AD did laps of concord like an unstable madman

Other coaches don't deal with sort of shit because the self entitled are weeded out, or are that good that they deal with the issues behind closed doors. You only have to look over the fence to Souths and see what happens when you let double standards into the system.
Kimmorley admitted that he wasn't strong enough as a coach at the time to sit AD out in reggies and that he was blackmailed into letting him get his way; this was a clear indicator of a player you want to be moving on.
I called it way back, the best postion for AD in the Wests Tigers was on another teams roster. I was shouted down as being an AD hater. This was untrue at the time and it is now. My stance then, and now, was based on his character not his footballing ability. He espoused leadership then and blackmailed the coach; now he has walked out on his team mates in the time of greatest need. This again goes to his character.
He is contracted to us and needs very clear guidance on what he needs to do to get himself back into FG. If he is as good as he thinks he is he can make potentially ge tover this. If I was responsible for the roster though he would be free to leave with the clubs blessing if he gets an offer (no freight).
He isn't on that much coin so would be great as a backup in Ressies for depth where he can be managed within the contractual arrangements until he next breaches; then we can kick him to the curb for breach of contract and keep the $ in the cap.
People of weak character do not belong in team sports!
