I think we have seen with Wisnewski last season and maybe Whinham this season, that you need to tread a bit carefully with this sort of stuff. Make sure the players are well supported in that mental health space. Not to say there ain't issues also in the men's game, but the genders are different, and clubs/coaches, fans etc need to realise that.

That ChCh footballer who trolled the Perth Glory ALW player, went way over the line. That stuff needs to be continually called out, and penalties handed down. You'd hope all criticism is fair & measured, but realistically that will never be the case. So players need some support whether they are getting $19K or $19M per season.
