As an Adelaide supporter, I rate JR as one of the nicest/admired players in the AFL. This is highly disappointing.

Name and shame them.

Seriously? Racist abuse & now this rubbish, the backdrop to the AFL looks a bit sad this season so far..btw, Roughead is a great success story, a result of brilliant scientific research both here and overseas..be nice people 😄

WTF is wrong with people? Just shut up! Just disgusting.

easy solution. AFL should employ someone who does a bit of simple research on any one who posts these types of things. create an advert with their full name, address, contact details etc and they will stop pretty quick.

What’s wrong with people? It’s a game.

The guy was trolling. He wouldn't actually want Roughead to die from cancer. All trolls want is to get a reaction. All this story does is give the troll what he wants.
