Perhaps it's inappropriate to speculate, but from all I'm hearing I wonder if Spud had bipolar. Such extremes of manic, high behaviour; the disorganised language of his texts; the gambling; and then the other end of it. I know I shouldn't speculate, but I say this to discourage people from speculating that it was straightforward depression that caused this.
Mike from Canada: folks i have to say that this is an incredible interview and so valuable to us who are fighting with demons every day. Kudos to these two men talking about such an important topic. Kudos to Fox and the interviewer for providing this program and thank you to CZcams ...so many to thank for this gift.
I watched it halfway last night but all week I was shattered and I have mental health issues that I'm trying to work on but every time it brings to tears but Danny you won't be forgotten a great interview
We need to tell people how much we care for them and how much they are valued to us all, whilst they are still here. There is still too little of that done even in these days of more ‘awareness’. This is a sensitive, loving and poignant testament to a great and unique man, sincere thoughts to family, friends and all of you guys that were closest to Spud. The football world and indeed the entire community is now that much the poorer. RIP Spud.
I had a close friend who was always the life of the party a character larger than life and always “On” in public. Because I knew him better than most I did see his dark moods. I was 2 states away when he took his life.
I hope that the AFL will create an award like the Brownlow or Coleman for backline players and name it after spud. RIP
that was wonderful interview in what is a devastating time

Wow, understandably everyone is upset but Garry looks absolutely shattered.
Brave effort from these 2 men to sit there and talk about this.
