Ernie, you're on notice. You started out posting that you're a long time lurker, first time poster. Clearly not true.
The forum is operating really well and there's no tolerance for the kind of baiting / trolling post above that is designed to create conflict. This is your only warning. Further similar posts will draw suspensions.
WTF? He says.........."Where has this guy come from ?? Poses lots questions F’all answers and little facts"

That's ok to speak to someone like that is it?

And because I asked have I made an enemy already you give me a warning? Are you serious?

Not interested in your Games. You were previously on here as Sunny Ernest - and with other Nics that were banned before that. Youre not a new poster at all. You're a known quantity. Like I said no tolerance for repeat offender baiting / trolling. Simple.

I'm not interested in playing games. I'm here because I'm a passionate St Kilda supporter. But I would like to be treated fairly...

Most AFL players take recreational drugs like most 18-28 year olds do.

I just want to know when he plays again.

If you know give us a number

My understanding is round 5 at the earliest but most probably round 7.

I'm pretty sure I heard Jon Ralph say he won't be back inside a month, in his post mortem of Saturday nights game.
I felt it was a freudian slip from an in the know, who isn't supposed to know.

Sadly, I fear Zac (and as a result - the rest of our midfield) is in all sorts. It was somewhat sudden and there's been absolute crickets from the club since. Which is completely fine (protect Zac's wellbeing at all costs) - but that to me normally indicates that the Club has told the media that it's a serious and them constantly asking isn't going to help things. Hence - media don't raise it; club doesn't have to talk about it.

His Brother - Nathan's - spot on SEN left me feeling empty. He tried had to say a lot nothing about something. It was a bit awkward to be honest.

All this scuttlebut and idle, uninformed, speculation about Zak Jones' leave of absence is pointless - there is not a skerrick of evidence that he was stood down for some serious misdemeanour.

If he does in fact have a mental health issue discussing this on public forums is not on, raising it on Saintsational is not going to assist his recovery. I'm no less disappointed and bewildered than The Linton Street Flash that in this modern age professional sportsmen/women have trouble dealing with the pressures of performance at elite the level, but that's what happens and we have to accept that because none of us walk in their shoes....Ash Barty's sudden decision to retire while she's ranked # 1 in the world is yet another example of young sporting stars opting to step away from the intense glare of blinding spotlights and resume a normal life, and she won't be the last!

People need to back up and stop making up absolute S**t and fairy tales worse than that Bible book about players private lives. Seriously how who you feel if a partner or family member saw this trash. Just grow up, have respect and stop the Keyboard Warrior rumor mongering. Please.

Troubled souls are not new.

Who knows how good say Rod Owens, or Muir, may have had at the Saints if they were better supported?


Plenty of players have walked away from VFL/AFL over the years and/or struggled to realise the potential of obvious talent. While with some it may well have been lack of desire, or other matters, but with others it was no doubt due to matters of the mind. Probably moreso as it was not at all well understood, and with a huge social stigma if admitted to.

I wanted to make a personal development section in Saintsational and aired the idea a couple of weeks ago. I was quickly reminded that Saintsational is of itself a giant mental health forum and such a sub-section would be redundant.

So here's to our health!

So let's Have one on Zac, and one for Dusty!

Cheers.

PS.. I think speculation is fine.. We are fans afterall...but I also expect to get whacked ...we are fans afterall.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Looking at him at training today, he does seem to have lost some weight. However, he seemed to be in good spirits.

Zac’s concerns are an existing medical condition

It has resulted in him losing 5kg and recovery is indefinite

The condition is not life threatening

He is receiving appropriate medical support plus the support of his partner, his family and the Club

As supporters of St Kilda, we should all be wishing him well with his recovery from the physical condition he suffers from (and which is no one’s business but his and his employers given the impact on his employment)

Not so good news for Zac or us.

Hopefully it is now heading in the right direction for him.

If he has a physical condition

Why was it reported as a mental health concern?

From what I’ve been told, it was an enforced lay off.

Mental health concerns (depression/anxiety) can also cause weight loss due to no appetite. So who knows. All we can go on is what the club has said
