I hope the club handles this properly, if the guy has had if for four years and it's getting worse I wonder if they may have teken a different path earlier, but they may have been trying heaps of stuff and none of it working.
Clinical depression is a serious, incredibly crappy thing to have, most people have been depressed at one point of another (ie. most of novermber 2003 ) but clinical depression is so so much worse than that. I'm surprised the guy has kept playing footy as long as he has, it's a huge credit to him, and I hope the Hawks do everything they can to help him. Can they put him on the long term injury list? Cause I reckon that's 100% better than letting him retire; routine can be very important in recovery, unfortunately medication is often not enough on it's own.
All the best
