North Melbourne ruckman Todd Goldstein has revealed the Kangaroos playing group organised a barbecue late last year to try to comprehend the news surrounding Majak Daw.
Goldstein told SEN Breakfastย that the playing group did not know how to deal with the situation and tried to stay in contact over the Christmas period.
โOver the Christmas break we tried to encourage everybody to stay in contact with each other,โ Goldstein toldย SEN Breakfast.
โI think it was important to get together, there was nothing official about (the barbecue), it wasnโt organised by the staff, the players got together just to make sure that everyone was doing okay and so we can all support each other.โ
โIt obviously had a massive affect on the playing group and his family and itโs obviously hard and itโs not something that occurs in AFL circles very often so no one really knew how to deal with it.โ
โThe positive is that now that everyoneโs aware of it we can put our arms around him and support him.โ
