Who I'd like to meet:

As you are aware I have been at an overseas rehabilitation centre for the past month undergoing treatment for a number of personal issues, including illness as the result of substance use. My treatment is an ongoing process, and I have many challenges ahead of me that I need to overcome as part of my recovery to full health. I will continue my treatment in Perth as an outpatient for at least the next four weeks. Part of that treatment will require me from time to time to leave Perth. I will act on the advice of my medical support team. I look at this very positively and recognise that I have been privileged to have been given this opportunity. I apologise to the West Coast Eagles Football Club, sponsors, the AFL and the community for my actions. I am sorry that I have disappointed many people who have supported me in the past. I want to acknowledge the tremendous support I have received from my family, the West Coast Eagles Football Club and many others. I know that in order to play football again I will have to be accepted back by the players and staff of the West Coast Eagles and the AFL and I’m willing to fulfill any obligations imposed on me. At the present time I don’t know when I’ll play again. My priority is to regain my health, my life and my family. I want to thank the community at large for their support their encouragement and understanding which has assisted me and been very much appreciated I would like everyone, if they can, to respect my privacy whilst I continue treatment and meet the significant challenges that lie ahead.As you are aware I have been at an overseas rehabilitation centre for the past month undergoing treatment for a number of personal issues, including illness as the result of substance use.
