Chris Yarran's football future remains clouded with Richmond unable to say when their new recruit will play football at any level for the Tigers or whether he will line up at all this season.
With Yarran due to return back to Melbourne from Perth on Thursday, the management around him remains highly sensitive as he deals with a number of personal issues.
The club revealed on Tuesday that the 25-year-old had returned home to deal with a difficult family situation, but Fairfax Media understands Yarran's emotional issues are more complex.

The club revealed on Tuesday that the 25-year-old had returned home to deal with a difficult family situation, but Fairfax Media understands Yarran's emotional issues are more complex.
Initially expected to return to playing from pre-season surgery six or seven weeks into the season, the club has removed any time line from Yarran's return to football and has not ruled out him not playing this season.
Those close to Yarran have been highly complimentary of the club's handling of the talented but troubled player.
While Richmond was disappointed at Yarran's physical condition when he arrived at the club after his off-season break, they have allowed the player a number of short leaves of absence to deal with his issues.
Yarran's manager Paul Connors refused to elaborate on his charge's football prospects this year, but confirmed the two would meet before the weekend.
Richmond played down the severity of the Yarran situation.
The superbly talented former Carlton player came to the club as its biggest-name recruit in a trade after a difficult 2015 season with the Blues.
Tigers chief Brendon Gale strongly denied suggestions Yarran might never play for Richmond.
"My understanding was that he was progressing well through rehab," said Gale.
"He's been working with Trent Cotchin. His return may be indefinite but I certainly wouldn't say he won't be back this year.
"There's a fragility to Chris and we all understand that and we obviously knew this recent family news would hit hard."

Well done Richmond :clapping
Ever heard of stuffing due dilligence?
Its pretty much a write off trade now.
Just to confirm:-
We trade pick 19 in return for a big fat donut. A guy who cant physically or mentally getting on the park.

Someone writes a article & everyone believes what is written in a newspaper. :snidegrin

Reading between the lines this is Caro's way of getting the club to come clean on whats happening with Yazz.
She actually has no clue whats going on.
And she is right - the club does need to be clear on whats happening with him - none of this 'TBC' crap.

And no she is wrong, if it is a private family matter then we have no right to know what the issues are. And that is what you are suggesting
I doubt she would want her private family matters out in the media
There is line that shouldnt be crossed and i believe this is one of those times.
Just like with the Reece McKenzie situation. The club kept that out of the media for a reason, when the time was roght they made a statement.
Why should this be any different?
But everyone's understanding and compassion is duly noted

Nope I was talking about his physical state. His mental or family issues are nobody's business but his own.
If he is physically right to go or 3 weeks off then say that.
The club needs to be transparent about this.
If he needs time away for personal reasons then just say that.

But. They lie all the time. Deledio Grimes Maric. Not just when someone goes walkabout. Member$hip$$ :whistle. Why would they say the truth about big fish yazza?
Hopefully he gets right and in the team. The back line looks alarmingly average with hunt. Chaplin. Bachelor. Morris. All together.

Funny i thought the club did say this week that he had gone home for family reasons
So it's been said but Caro and a number of other journos won't accept that.
They have also listed this week that like a couple of other players his time out with the foot problem is now to be confirmed which like Houli case they are waiting for advice from the surgeon.
-
The surgery for Yarran was a success they already told us that.
They also told us he was progressing well and doing rehab with Trent Cotchin.
Has there been a setback physically?
Or is this purely a personal issue?
Transparency and clarification would help kill the rumours.

Yes its not like the club have track record of dishonesty and misrepresentation of the truth.

Caro is just keeping the flames burning so that the media can pounce if Freo beats us.
I don't blame her really. Need to keep the pressure on them.
The Yarran move was a risky one and so far has not paid off.
However you judge that trade, the reality is, we had an immediate need for a quality half back flanker and we didn't draft one.
We recruited a "fragile," soft outside player who may or may not play a game this year because of injuries and poor self-discipline.
The recruiters knew what they were getting when they drafted him. The heat should be on the recruiting department. Heads must roll.

Yarran's off-field issues has football on hold
SEN
19 May 2016
Tim Watson believes Richmond has been working through problems with Chris Yarran's since he arrived at the club last year after news the 25-year-old is out indefinitely.
The Age has reported the timeline for Yarran's return to football has been removed as the Tigers deal with a number of highly sensitive personal issues.
"I know, having spoken to people around Richmond that he has missed a lot of sessions for whatever reason...he came back from his break in less than ideal condition and he hasn't caught up," Watson said on SEN Breakfast with Frank and Ox.
"You would hope for his sake and Richmond's sake that somewhere down the track this can be worked out and sorted through."
Watson believes Yarran's off-field problems were also an issue at Carlton, and Richmond knew what they were getting when they signed him to a long term contract.
David Schwarz has spoken about his own well publicised off-field issues that impacted on his football career and believes communication is the key to working through any personal issues.
"If you're not a communicator, if can't take or give communication, gee it's hard to find a way out," he said.
"The one way I did was I actually spoke to everyone about it almost to try and navigate my way through."
Despite the issues that are facing Yarran, he has backed Richmond to work through it and have the 25-year-old back playing football.
"Richmond have dealt with troubled individuals that have come through the door, and some of those people that have walked back out the door, have gone out much better people than when they arrived," said Schwarz.

I knew as soon as I heard they were interested.

Good luck to the bloke. I hope whatever he is going through he gets on top of it soon.
He is a Tiger now and until he sucks on field he has my support. :shh

I get that people want to whack the club, well because there's been a lot to whack them for the last 6-9 months in particular
But I think there is 2 separate issues here that I would have hoped people could distinguish but going by the responses I am not sure folks are willing to or prepared to do it because gee it's more great ammo to go whackety, whack, whack again
One is that there is a player of ours who is obviously going through some tough family issues who we should be supporting not whacking. And no I don't need to know what they are as they are obviously significant enough for him to be given time off to go home and deal with them but end of the day they are private and they are none of our collective business.
It would be nice if people could show the bloke some compassion, reckon he deserves that and so far he isn't receiving very much because of the need to whack the club.
2nd one is in relation to the club and if and it is a massive if they have made a mistake, done their due diligence etc and the apparent need to whack them recruiting this bloke. Just think the whacks at this time are not warranted until a he actually takes the field and then a proper judgement can be made
Just my take
-
Im buoyed by the fact the club has invested so much time and money in indigenous affairs, leading the way with Dreamtime at the G & the Korin Gamadji Institute (KGI) and are well equiped to handle the special & sometimes delicate situations that arise from recruiting players.
There's no doubt our history in recruiting & development speaks for itself in this regard :rollin

I CBF'd whacking the club over it.
It's just another preposterous decision made
-
preposterous! :banghead
-
Guy gets drafted at Pick 19, turns up overweight and cant get on the park for physical and mental reasons.
Yet lets not be critical of the club until he gets on the park? Lets overlook a lost year? Lets overlook lack of due diligence in the decision to draft him? And lets not entertain the certain possibility he wont get on the park.
I don't think anyone is saying that we shouldn't be critical Dooks. The fact remains that the decision was made and he is now a tiger. We should be offering him all the support in the world to make sure that he CAN get on the park again and light up the MCG for our club. From what I understand, all is not lost and if you look at his recent Instagram photos, he has lost the excess weight he came to the club with. So instead of fans bagging him, we should be doing everything we can to encourage him to be back ASAP.
To me it's easy. You can either sit back and go whackety whack, whack whack on a continual basis and send messages to the club that they made a monumental F**k up or you can try to make a bad situation better by being supportive to the player who clearly has issues and maybe, just maybe he'll come good for us. If he doesn't, well, we can go whackety whack, whack whack at that point. I know I'll be pumping the former because he is one of ours now and just like family, you look after them despite their deficiencies and weaknesses.

na stuff him for reasons listed above and especially stuff the club.
they deserve everything they get for this one.
To think they dont pay overs for this gun player or that gun player but waste their cap on duds from adelaide, carlton and port.

Don't fret - next year he'll be like a new recruit! :gotigers

lol,
no one knows jack crapola

Well we may have made a blunder on yarran but it could be worse..........we could could have got bennell too.

Ask Caro she thinks she knows everything ;D

Hardwick denies Yarran's future in doubt
Daniel Cherny
The Age
May 21, 2016
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has denied Chris Yarran's future at the Tigers is in doubt, but concedes the dashing defender was unlikely to play for the club in the short-term.
Yarran, 25, arrived back in Melbourne from Western Australia on Thursday. The former Carlton backman had been in Perth to deal with a family issue. He is yet to play for Richmond after signing a three-year deal with the club in October after being traded from the Blues, with a foot injury delaying his debut in yellow and black.
Speaking at Melbourne Airport before the Tigers crossed the Nullarbor for Saturday night's clash against Fremantle, Hardwick appeared confident that Yarran would eventually take the field for his new club, despite the playmaker being on indefinite leave.
"Chris has obviously had some family issues that he's working through at the moment. He'll continue to work through those. He's had a rough patch," Hardwick said.
"We're just here to support him and give him whatever support he needs. He's going to be a quality player for us for a long period of time. We just wish him the best and hope he can get back on the park for us at some stage."
Asked whether there was any doubt about Yarran's future at Punt Road, Hardwick responded strongly. "No, not at this stage. Absolutely not. He's a player that we've invested in and from our point of view we're looking forward to what he can present on the field.
"[But] that's probably not going to be in the short term."
Hardwick said he was proud of the way the Tigers have handled Yarran's situation, as well as that of youngster Reece McKenzie, who is also on leave from the club – dealing with a mental health issue. "Players come with issues all the time. The best place to be, in my opinion, is within a footy club. We've got fantastic people that provide really good resources in that area and we attack problems head on. As a football club we're really proud of our efforts and support that we've given both those players."

Oh look, in a strange sort of way, we feel even if he never plays a game for us, that we made the right decision drafting him. And thats important to us.
-
:-\
Nothing to see here
-
It's a pity we've taken 2 risks in mckenzie and yarran and neither have paid off. What other risks have we taken that have paid off? Both would be good players for the RFC if they can get it together upstairs IMHO.

not as massive risk as a rookie
-
Wasn't mckenzie pick 70 odd ND? He is on the main list not the rookie I believe
-
Yeah McKenzie on the main list. Unless Stalin meant rookie as in 'a youngster'
-
I think I have missed something.
When they say he is dealing with a family issue, what does that mean for him? He went back home and did what he did, but why is he out infinitely?
Are we tiptoeing around he has mental issues?
I'm not trying to be insensitive but if he has, what has that got to do with "family issues"
-

There is no doubt that he has mental issues. Possibly any family problems just exacerbate them.
-
Interesting to year Ross Lyon talking about the issues they have with Bennell.
Pretty much put it out in the open then got stuck into the media for the whispers and challenged anyone that has anything to tell to come forward or STFU, as the constant innuendo does not help.
Compare that to the mushroom treatment we get - the continued whispers, innuendo and accusations that will flourish because of it
-
I hope it works out for him, it's obviously a private and personal issue for him.

So why don't they just come and say it? Instead they say "family issues"
By the looks of things one of his family members had a baby last week which is great news but has nothing to do with why he is out indefinitely.
With all the info in the world today about mental health, most understand its a very serious issue and people are more educated now than in days gone by so why not just come out and say it if it is actually the reason.
The media for one will take a step back for him to just go about getting well again. There is no reason to go into details just come out and give a statement and people will be move on and stop sepulating.
Good luck to him and I still have hope for him running around in a tigers jumper soon.

Sadly, it still can carry a lot of stigma for individuals and is even more poorly understood in Indigenous communities so for Yarran he might prefer it's kept quiet. Who knows though

Good enough for speculation at the obvious but not an honest word from Yarran or the club.
And before the usual swooping Carrawongs ark up, hes a public figure. He puts himself out there. And hes drawing a luxurious wage. At least a bit of honesty please. We deserve to know.

While I understand your sentiments, a person's health information is private, whether they are public figures or not. As a footballer, he can allow the information that he wants released both to the club and to the public and he can withhold what he wants as well. That is not an opinion. It is the law.
I think the club has hinted what is going on without blatantly stating it too. Maybe they don't want to say too much that would allow opposition players to use it against him on the field as well.
All we can do is support the guy as he is obviously having difficulties in his life. I can only assume that Chris would love to be running out this week for us in the Dreamtime match if he could. It must be difficult for him to be on the sidelines for so long. Berating him and the club has no positive effects that I can see.
-
Caro on Footy Classified tonight:
* The Club can't say if or when Yarran will play this year. Which is very disappointing.
* The reason for that has nothing to do with injury. Yarran has personal/emotional issues he is dealing with. The Club and those outside the Club (his manager Paul Connors) are supporting him and handling this very well by all reports.
* The reasons given for him going home to WA the other day has nothing to do with this.
* Like Bennell but for different reasons, you've got to say this trade has been a failure.

Lyon made out that Harley was just a naughty boy not the spoilt indulged football player he has been to date.
So Lyon painted his player as a victim of the media that doesn't make what Lyon said right.

Caro on Footy Classified tonight:
* The Club can't say if or when Yarran will play this year. Which is very disappointing.
* The reason for that has nothing to do with injury. Yarran has personal/emotional issues he is dealing with. The Club and those outside the Club (his manager Paul Connors) are supporting him and handling this very well by all reports.
* The reasons given for him going home to WA the other day has nothing to do with this.
* Like Bennell but for different reasons, you've got to say this trade has been a failure.
Cotchin said there was no pressure on former Blue Chris Yarran to play.
The star recruit is yet to play this season and still in the rehab group recovering from a foot injury, while also dealing with family issues.

I'll tell u why it's a shambles.
Because regardless of his peeweak excuse of mental illness, which is just another term for unaccountable rubbish, atthe end of the day, the three morons wasted yet another pic
and that my friend, is pathetic.

Interesting to year Ross Lyon talking about the issues they have with Bennell.

When you look at someone like Reece McKenzie you can wear that, not so much because he was a very late draft pick but more so that we went in relatively blind not truly knowing what his mental state was like. But then you get someone like Chris Yarran who has obviously had his troubles with the blues and has a track record of turning in poor games because he's mentally weak and our club decided to take the punt. The club has to be held responsible for that.

agree, the club should only take risks they know for sure will come off

This.
There are two issues at play. 1) get him the help he needs. 2) what the hell were the club thinking if they did their due diligence? Entirely separate issues.
The argument that you can't criticise the club for selecting him without criticising him directly for having a mental illness is ridiculous.
-
can we clarify, for future reference, that the club should not take risks in future with anyone that may have issues?
-
2 2nd rounders is a big risk. Risk vs reward is using pick 19 on a talent like fife who may or may not make it. 2 x 19 is a lot for a real talent but a damaged one. I think Carlton played us now but hindsight is 20:20. At the time I thought it only a little over but I had no idea of his battles.

I actually agree Dooks and it's been my argument all along
There are 2 issues here but some seem unwilling to separate the two
The lack of compassion towards the person (not the footballer, the person) who is obviously going through a tough time for whatever reason (and still say the reasons are none of our collective business) has been well disappointing at best.
Just think some folks in wanting to bash the club have ignored the "other side of the coin" and that this is about a person who needs help and fortunately our club is prepared to do that; just like they have with McKenzie
Whether it was a good call or not we wont know in full until he plays or (and I don't think this will happen BTW) if he quits without playing for us and then people can whack away.
Until then I just think people shouldn't lose sight of the fact there is a person involved here and he shouldn't be copping whacks for this.

I got your point Penny and I agree with you
The media are doing the same with Yarran, they are throwing little bits of bait out there but then stop short of saying anything substantial. All the while knowing they are helping in the promoting of the muck raking and mud slinging
-
If people were awar that yarran had a track record of issues, (whatever they are) would they have still wanted to trade for him?
-
So, out of all the players up for trade or whatever else the stuff they do, Getting Yarran for a highest draft pick is somewhat excusable because they didn't know?
Hmmmm. Let me think. For the last couple of years, he stood on the ground with his hands on his hips.Now, that should tell the brainiacs something about him.
I blame the club for picking up a guy who's attitude was bottom barrel stuff.
This was evident pre depression admission stage.
FMD.
-
i have no doubt the club were aware of the issues
-
It's a Christian club.

Yarran got full depression when he came to punt road.

FULL CLUB STATEMENT
Club Statement: Chris Yarran
richmondfc.com.au
May 26, 2016 9:30 AM
Chris Yarran will take indefinite leave from the Richmond Football Club as he seeks treatment for a mental health condition.
Chris, together with the Club’s medical and welfare staff, felt it was in his best interests to seek professional treatment away from the Club.
With Chris' health and wellbeing the number one priority, no timeframe has been put on his return to football.
The Club will continue to provide Chris with all the support he needs during this period, and it asks that his privacy be respected during this time

Lol

I wish the Chris Yarran (the person not the footballer) all the best in his recovery. it can (will) be a very long road for not only the bloke but his loved ones.
I will continue to keep his health issues separate from the need to bash the club
-
He keeps getting paid, huh?
-
I wish the Chris Yarran (the person not the footballer) all the best in his recovery. it can (will) be a very long road for not only the bloke but his loved ones.
I will continue to keep his health issues separate from the need to bash the club
After spending years in the Mental Health area I saw many instances whereby individuals fell into depressive illness after not having narcissistic and or victimology based needs met. Not saying that this is the case with Yarran but it can't be discounted. As for the recruiters, bash is an appropriate adjective.
-
All the best to Chris and his family and I hope that one day he can at least return to some sort of a life, be it inside or outside of football. Good luck mate.

I know grigg Chaplin hardwick and friends give me depression
Can't blame the poor lad really

Chris Yarran's football future remains clouded with Richmond unable to say when their new recruit will play football at any level for the Tigers or whether he will line up at all this season.
With Yarran due to return back to Melbourne from Perth on Thursday, the management around him remains highly sensitive as he deals with a number of personal issues.
The club revealed on Tuesday that the 25-year-old had returned home to deal with a difficult family situation, but Fairfax Media understands Yarran's emotional issues are more complex.
Chris Yarran's football future remains clouded with Richmond unable to say when their new recruit will play football at any level for the Tigers or whether he will line up at all this season.
With Yarran due to return back to Melbourne from Perth on Thursday, the management around him remains highly sensitive as he deals with a number of personal issues.
The club revealed on Tuesday that the 25-year-old had returned home to deal with a difficult family situation, but Fairfax Media understands Yarran's emotional issues are more complex.
Initially expected to return to playing from pre-season surgery six or seven weeks into the season, the club has removed any time line from Yarran's return to football and has not ruled out him not playing this season.
Those close to Yarran have been highly complimentary of the club's handling of the talented but troubled player.
While Richmond was disappointed at Yarran's physical condition when he arrived at the club after his off-season break, they have allowed the player a number of short leaves of absence to deal with his issues.
Yarran's manager Paul Connors refused to elaborate on his charge's football prospects this year, but confirmed the two would meet before the weekend.
Richmond played down the severity of the Yarran situation.
The superbly talented former Carlton player came to the club as its biggest-name recruit in a trade after a difficult 2015 season with the Blues.
Tigers chief Brendon Gale strongly denied suggestions Yarran might never play for Richmond.
"My understanding was that he was progressing well through rehab," said Gale.
"He's been working with Trent Cotchin. His return may be indefinite but I certainly wouldn't say he won't be back this year.
"There's a fragility to Chris and we all understand that and we obviously knew this recent family news would hit hard."
Soften the blow
Crafty Richmond

Hard work girl.
Take the money back and FHO

Oh, and LMAO RFC.
You've done it again.

Another Hartley and Dan "gem". Pick 19 was it?

Yarran on indefinite leave as he battles mental health issue
Nathan Schmook and Nick Bowen
AFL.com.au
May 26, 2016
RICHMOND recruit Chris Yarran will take indefinite leave from the club as he seeks treatment for a mental health condition.
The half-back, who had been in Western Australia last week for personal reasons, has no timeframe for a return to the club.
Richmond released a statement on Thursday morning saying both Yarran and the Tigers' health and welfare staff felt it was in his best interests to seek professional treatment away from the club.
Coach Damien Hardwick said the 25-year-old would be granted as long as he needed to make a full recovery.
"Chris's health and wellbeing is of the utmost importance to us and there's no timeframe on his return at this stage," he said.
"He's a great young fella and we wish him the best.
"His health and wellbeing is No.1 for us and however long that takes, that's up to Chris and his practitioners.
"He's a star … we can't wait to have him back and he's an important part of our future."
Yarran is yet to debut for Richmond after crossing from Carlton in last year's trade period in exchange for pick No.19, a selection the Blues used to draft David Cuningham.
The speedster returned to pre-season training in poor condition and was initially troubled by a nagging calf injury.
After making a late bid to be right for round one, he broke down with a left foot injury that required surgery in March to repair the plantar fascia tissue.
Yarran now seems a long shot to play a game in his first season at Richmond.

Unreal.
I wouldn't have picked him regardless of his "easy way out" sickness.

So people suffering depression don't deserve any respect or compassion?
Do you have any idea how serious it can be?
Actually that's a stupid questioj because clearly you don't

Hopefully that half a million dollars for not playing football makes it easier

I look at it as no different to an ACL.
One soldier down means a chance for a rookie elevation. Step forward Callum Moore or Mabior Chol!

Ignorance is bliss.
Have learnt a lot working from the office next to Nathan Thompson.
Top bloke who did it super tough himself.
It's a bad condition and just hope the bloke gets well

Usually not one for tooting my own horn, but seeing as you love doing it...
Usually wouldn't have an issue with this (and don't in Rioli's case) but it smells funky with Yarran. Six week injury taking 7 weeks to get down to a 4 week injury, then suddenly its TBC and now his gone home for reasons that are more vague for him than Rioli? Hope the lad and his family is alright but gee wiz
Ohhhhhh, the conspiracy theories... :help :lol :lol :lol
Maybe he has gone home for family reasons, oh, hang on, that was the reason. :help

Shane Edwards pleads for Yarran to be given privacy
AFL.com.au
28 May 2016
RICHMOND'S Shane Edwards says it's important teammate Chris Yarran is given the space and time he needs while on indefinite leave from the club.
The Tigers revealed on Thursday that Yarran is seeking treatment for a mental health condition.
The speedster is yet to play a game for his new club since making an off-season move from Carlton.
Coach Damien Hardwick made it clear on Thursday that Yarran's health and wellbeing is the club's top priority and there is no timeframe for his return to football.
"I think he needs as much privacy as he can get. It's a private matter," Edwards said on Friday.
"He's sorting some issues out. It's a private matter but he's taking the right step forward to hopefully playing more football in the future.
"I reckon we just need to let him be and let him recover and make sure he can get on the track and help us out."
Yarran took time off last week to deal with a family issue, while he has suffered a wretched run with injury since leaving the Blues to sign a three-year deal with Richmond.
He underwent foot surgery earlier this year, while a recurring calf problem ruined his pre-season.
