Troubled former Parramatta and Manly star Kieran Foran has admitted he tried to take his own life as personal issues involving his ex-partner got the better of him.The Kiwi international was granted a release from the beleaguered Eels last week, less than a year after joining the club from Manly on a five-year deal worth $5 million.In a candid interview with News Corp Australia, Foran revealed that he has walked away from the NRL to focus on getting his life back on track.He told Eels coach Brad Arthur in December that he was struggling to cope before his life spiralled out of control in April.The intent was there, Foran said.I wanted out. About 1.30am I remember driving in my car, thinking in my head what way I was going to kill myself.I ended up driving back to my apartment, where I was staying in the city. I had a batch of left-over pills that were pain-killing medication. I tried to basically overdose.I remember the week vividly. I had been struggling, I had a lot going on. Trying to work through my relationship breakdown, with two young kids, with my ex-partner, while juggling football.I just wasnt coping. I could see I was starting to lose hope on life, really. I just couldnt see that light at the end of the tunnel.I just remember one late Thursday night it all got too much for me.I cant remember the exact amount (of pills I took). It was a handful. I remember getting told the next day by the nurses that it wasnt enough to kill me but definitely enough to make me crook.At the time I was hoping that it was gonna do the job. Im grateful Im here today, but I remember waking up the next morning wishing that it had worked.Foran says there is no time frame for a return rugby league.My priority at the moment is getting myself right, he said.I know there will come a time where I need to earn a living.When I get that love and desire back for rugby league, then I will know I will want to play it again.At the moment I have no motivation to play it. I wanna get my shoulder right. I wanna get healthy again in the mind and the body.* For support and information about suicide prevention, call Lifeline on 13 11 14, Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467 or MensLine Australia on 1300 78 99 78 Old Skool Vans Canada Sale .

Essendons whopping $9.8 million loss has laid bare the financial toll of their AFL supplements debacle.A few hours after the AFL officially stripped Jobe Watson of his 2012 Brownlow Medal, the Bombers had even worse news on Tuesday night for their long-suffering fans.They confirmed the huge financial hit, which has put them just over $9 million into debt.Essendon said most of the loss relates directly or indirectly to Januarys Court of Arbitration of Sport verdict against 34 current and past players, including Watson.CAS ruled against the players over doping charges related to the clubs disastrous 2012 supplements regime.The doping bans severely weakened Essendons AFL side and they finished last.Essendon chief executive Xavier Campbell said they had a unique set of challenges this season.While we’ve been stringent in our financial operations, a number of one-off costs severely impacted the financial result,” he added.“Shortly after the CAS decision, the board and administration implemented serious measures to respond to these challenges, including a range of cost cutting measures and identifying greater efficiencies across the business.“With the abnormal costs to our business now largely behind us, we are confident that our underlying business model, debt reduction plan and strategic priorities, will return Essendon to a position of strength in the coming years.ddddddddddddssendon said the net additional cost of player compensation claims and legal fees was $4.5 million.Additionally, they had to fork out $1.5 million for short-term player contracts so they could field an AFL team.They also lost $3.1 million in reduced gate takings and other revenue.Essendon took another hit of $806,000 as they wrote off assets at their old Windy Hill ground.We expect debt levels to peak during 2017 and our strong cash flows from normal operations will then allow us to begin paying down the debt, Campbell added.“Despite these issues, we have taken a number of important steps to ensure a positive future for our club both on and off the field and I am confident we can now transition into a new era with a strong sense of optimism and purpose.Essendon will welcome back most of their banned players next season, including Watson.They will hold their annual general meeting on December 19.
