Sure, Lyon may be suffering but that doesn’t mean he’s the only victim.
If you or someone you know is in need of crisis or suicide prevention support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or visit lifeline.org.au/gethelp.
So if Lyon is suffering from mental illness, it's not a "get out of jail free card".
I think she's well off the mark with that article.
I liked this bit, very true:
"But if you have thrown dynamite into your normal cosy world, ruined your friend’s life and that of his family, it is hardly surprising you are going to feel depressed."

Hopefully this mess can turn into a positive of some sort, the Footy Show could really champion the mental illness cause and make greater awareness in the "bloke world" community.
While no doubt both issues are linked, if Garry is to recover they need to be seperated, while what he did was an ordinary act, I don't think anyone wants Garry to not recover from this illness.

I thought Eddie's contract with Fox does not allow him to do anything footy related at any other station
If Eddie is back I am out that's for sure.

Nor Kochey, nor Brayshaw, nor Dunstall, nor Brereton. Heck, the coverage of the Brisbane v GC game yesterday was a Brisbane whingefest about the draw. Not that they were whingeing, of course.
Yeah, I reckon you're right about Eddie. But he's not the only one.
