“If we as a club, can help one player who is struggling, then what we do off-field is most worthwhile. Mental health and wellbeing should be spoken of regularly, just like a sore knee. If you see someone struggling, ask the question. Are you OK? Tonight we became more of a family than a footy team and I thank SALT for that.”
