AFL Daily: Brendan Fevola reveals how Michael Voss saved him amid mental health battle
Brendan Fevola has revealed how former Brisbane coach Michael Voss helped save him and his mental health as he battled a gambling addiction, alcohol abuse and struggling to deal with the breakdown of his marriage.
Former Carlton and Brisbane forward Brendan Fevola has opened up about the depths of his mental health issues that resulted in him checking into a clinic to seek help.
Fevola, whose AFL career ended in 2011 after multiple off-field indiscretions, revealed it was former coach Michael Voss who helped him get the help he needed.
The star goal kicker was injured and struggling to deal with the breakdown of his marriage with wife, Alex, when the ex-Brisbane coach stepped in.
Fevola had also been dealing with other issues he later revealed as depression, a gambling addiction and alcohol abuse.
"I didn't realise until I sat down up in Brisbane with Michael Voss, who obviously got me up to the club," Fevola said on the What's Your Problem men's mental health podcast.
"He knew something was going on. He didn't know me too well but he knew something wasn't good because things were sort of derailing a little bit, the wheels were starting to fall off.

"I just felt like Vossy was that bloke – I don't think he likes me much anymore – I felt like he was a good listener and he could help me. It was really weird. I haven't spoken to him since I left Brisbane.
"He said we need to get you some help, we'll do this, we'll do that and God I felt amazing. It was like 100kg had been lifted off my shoulders.
"Finally I was saying this is what happened, I punted on this and I've done that and I've lost this much money, this is what happened with my wife.
"He's sitting there and his jaw hit the table. He's like 'oh my God, this bloke is cooked' but he got me the right help and I went into a clinic and it was probably the best thing that ever happened to me."
Fevola said he spent approximately 70 days at the New Farm clinic.

AFL TICKS OFF CONTROVERSIAL GOAL

The AFL’s umpiring department has backed in the score reviewers’ decision.
According to an AFL spokesman, the vision was not conclusive enough to overturn the decision of a goal to Shaun McKernan.
"The AFL Football Operations Department has today determined that at the time of the review, the score review official deemed the vision was not conclusive beyond reasonable doubt," the spokesperson said.

THE FREO ANCHOR IS BACK!
Fremantle is bringing back its famous 'anchor' guernsey for a special retro round later this season.
The Dockers will wear its throwback guernsey against Essendon at Perth Stadium in Round 22 to celebrate 25 years in the AFL competition.
Fremantle played its first ever home game in 1995, against Essendon in Round 2.
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick is confident the Tigers’ returning stars are ready to go and is excited to “put the pieces back together” of his premiership line-up.
Trent Cotchin, Shane Edwards and Kane Lambert will all return from injury against St Kilda on Sunday and Jayden Short could play for the first time since he suffered a nasty elbow injury in Round 3.
Hardwick said Short, who trained this morning without apparent discomfort but with his right elbow strapped, was a “standout” in match simulation this week.
“Do we play him in the VFL? That’s a possibility, but it’s also possible he’ll play seniors because he’s such a valuable player for us. He also allows me to move some magnets around,” he said.
“(Edwards) was the No.1 or No.2 score assist player in the AFL. We’ve had to play him down back and he’s done a stellar job for us down there, but our connection inside 50 hasn’t been a highlight this year, so they are the decisions we have to make.
“The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come back together.
“I’m really proud of how the guys have hung tough over that part of the year, now all of a sudden we can start to put the pieces back where they belong and that’s really exciting for us.”
Just four players have played every game this year for the 10th-placed Tigers, who must win on Sunday to start a run to September.
Hardwick said "there are some things we'll look at tinkering with" to improve the Tigers' poor record at Marvel Stadium this year after bad losses to North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs.
He said Jack Riewoldt would push for selection against Gold Coast next week, but the star full-forward completed solo drills at Punt Rd and seems more likely to return the next week against GWS.
The coach also took a swipe at the score review after another apparent blunder in Essendon’s win against GWS.
While saying he “thought it was a good idea at the time” Hardwick called for consultation with all clubs to decide if the AFL should “fully invest” in video technology or abandon the review altogether. He said restricting reviews to goal-line calls would be another option.
