There are fears for the mental health of two AFL players after it was revealed they are refusing to be vaccinated against Covid.
It’s understood West Coast Eagle Jack Darling and Kangaroo Jed Anderson are struggling with stress, feel unsupported and are concerned for their immediate futures.
Darling and Anderson have engaged the same lawyer who is investigating potential WorkCover claims for his clients. Sources close to the pair are worried for the two AFL players.
It’s understood Darling hasn’t been jabbed, and is not the only Eagle refusing to be vaccinated.
Anderson’s situation is slightly different. The North Melbourne listed player is understood to have suffered a recent medical episode.
Sheahan Ink was told Anderson was seen shaking before and after a Covid vaccination, and may now have swelling of the heart.
Darling’s advisers have said he is training away from the club and has two young children at home.
“I think he’s under that much stress, he doesn’t know whether he is Arthur or Martha,” a source close to Darling said.
“He is trying to stay fit, but can’t train.
“And the club (WCE) still hasn’t replied.
“These guys have got genuine exemptions and reasons and are being forced to get a jab,” the sources said.
It's believed the two players are being supported by players from other teams, former players as well as coaches, who communicate via a secret Facebook group.
Both Darling and Anderson are believed to be weighing up their playing futures with their respective teams.
The AFL Players Association is aware of the situation and has sought legal advice as to what they should do as the players’ union.
Feel like I haven't seen a "waifu" (yes I use that term jokingly) burst onto the scene like this since Mai from Bunny Girl Senpai. She's all over my social media, the show gained 100k new members since the first episode aired and her clips on youtube are already racking up hundreds of thousands of views.
I feel like she's going to be the next big "waifu" on the block.
As she blew out her candles, I felt pain shooting down my left arm.

Will the prospect of losing hundreds of thousands of dollars be enough to convince Jack Darling to get vaccinated?
Darling’s decision not to meet the AFL’s vaccination deadline will have major financial consequences if he maintains his stance. Under the AFL’s policy, the Eagles have several options including paying him just 25 per cent of the AFL’s minimum wage — about $23,000.
They can also come to a financial settlement like Carlton did with unvaccinated defender Liam Jones when he retired, or West Coast could wait until May 18 and utilise that AFL deadline to terminate his contract.
It’s a risky path to tread for a player who can command about $800,000 per year to play as a West Coast key forward.
The 29-year-old’s reluctance to get vaccinated has been an issue for months.
His manager Colin Young was quoted in October saying: “He’s definitely not an anti-vaxxer and he’ll be ready to go round one next year.”
Then Eagles CEO Trevor Nisbett addressed the issue in November when he said players “have all given me assurances they will be done.”
As pressure mounted, Darling sent legal letters to media outlets in an attempt to remove his name from the issue.
But when the AFL deadline arrived on Friday, Darling didn’t have any room to move and he wasn’t allowed into the club.
There is a belief that Darling is waiting for the Novavax vaccine to become available. But the wait for that would still delay his return, and as of January 31 he’ll be barred from all fitness facilities as part of the state government’s mandates.
West Coast can ill afford to be without a star forward as they attempt to rebound from missing the finals.
Darling has led their goalkicking in three of the last four seasons, booting 450 majors from 236 games since debuting in 2011 — only Josh Kennedy and Peter Sumich have kicked more goals for the club.
With the AFL season starting in March, the clock is ticking.
