UPDATE: Majak Daw's mental health 'primary concern' for North MelbourneKangaroos chairman Ben Buckley has voiced his 'full support' for star AFL defender Majak Daw, who is in hospital after falling from the Bolte Bridge.

And what right does he have to tell the whole world Majak has a problem in that area?

It’s okay not to be okay. Be there for those around you folks. Best of recovery Majak.
