So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Reports today that he has been put back on  main list. Anybody know anything about this or just untrue?
It's actually true.



"Richmond has reinstated Reece McKenzie to the senior list from the long-term injury list."

https://twitter.com/AFL_PKeane

So is he still retired and if son why do this?
procedure only unfortunately, have to be on main list to be taken off main list

Q. Any truth to this @reecemck21 I'm happy if so?

Um, I am not sure that he is telling us how it is, just how he perceives it. It's a far cry from the statements he released when he retired. Anyway, I am resisting the temptation to use this as evidence of Dan Richardson's incompetence.

Sad that he tried to commit suicide at 16. It sounds like he has some very serious issues to deal with.

Yep by his own admission he had serious issues before he got to the Tigers.

Maybe he needed the full time care of a mental health organization rather than the competitiveness and stress of an AFL club

Feel very sorry for him.

By his own admissions it seems like problems were there long before Dan or Richmond had anything to do with him.

Without knowing details and really not trying to defend Dan Richardson, but the guy is not a trained psychiatrist. It's hard to be critical of him without knowing exactly what he did to make Reece's situation worse.

Nothing was stopping Reece getting professional help while he was at Richmond. I assume his family would have been supporting him. Did they ask the club for help? The club gave him time off to sort himself out too but this isn't mentioned by Reece.

I think as much as many here think Dan is incompetent, on this issue, we need far more evidence in front of us before wean hang him.......

All,

I have snipped things out of this thread while I get some advice

Reasons being

1/ Pic posted by Dio did not contain the appropriate link back to Big footy as the source of the pic

2/ The said pic on Big Footy again contains no link - so how can anyone confirm it is legit?

3/ Suggestions were it was something posted on Facebook as it wasn't on Twitter or Instragam

4/ Someone posted that it was not on Facebook

5/ Another posted said it was in fact true but didn't / couldn't prove it

I'm sure people will (again) complain about us being heavy handed

But facts are there is no proof (read proper link) to / from the original source (in this instance BF) that it was legit in any way shape or form

So for now until I get some advice it stays off this forum

Will update on this later when I have some news
