Fairly comfortable this isn't a habit for him

JFC if you want to lose brain cells take a look at the thread on the Richmond forum discussing Noah Balta.

It's unclear what a Richmond player being charged with assault has to do with Geelong. But the thread is all about conspiracies to do with Geelong, Steve Hocking, Stengle, AFL corruption, etc.

How did their supporters end up so completely mentally cooked? It makes my dislike of Hawthorn look completely reasonable and rational.

I'm not a psychologist, but this could be a part of it - nearly 3 decades of being our bunnies. A 7 win, 32 loss stretch over 28 years against us, 16 of those losses by 10 goals or more.

According to Sam McClure in the Age, JUH has missed most of preseason due to personal issues.

Sam Newman missed just about every preseason yet was nearly the best player in the comp in his era.
Still, I'm glad it's not our player we're reading about.

Can't miss too much of a preseason in this day and age and expect to have a consistent season though. Look at how many of our players in the last 10 years have missed big chunks of preseason and we tend to only see them at their best end of the season.

JUH will still score goals if he plays but expect him to not play well til after the bye in the middle of the season.

Early days for JUH still but with the amount of talented key posi players the Doggies had and JUH having known issues I'm slightly surprised he wasn't traded for a king's ransom.

There is some speculation that they tried and the other team did some digging and backed out.
