West Coast premiership midfielder Chad Fletcher has opened up about his battle with mental illness, saying there were dark clouds hovering above him during the finest season of his AFL career.Fletcher endured some rocky times both during and after his 179-game AFL career, which ended in 2009.The 36-year-old almost died during the clubs end-of-season trip to Las Vegas in 2006, with drugs rumoured to be the cause of his dramatic collapse.Fletcher spent several days in hospital following that incident, but his manager denied drugs were involved.A year after retiring from AFL ranks, Fletcher pleaded guilty to possession of a small amount of cocaine after being busted at a Sydney nightclub, and he lost his licence in 2014 for drink driving.But it was during his All-Australian year of 2004 where his battle with mental illness peaked.In 2004 I suffered a few dark clouds ... it was a real struggle for me, Fletcher told the Seven Network.I didnt come out until probably six months after (the season finished), until I realised that I had to embrace it and get some help. And I did.I guess for someone whos at the height of their career, to still struggle with some mental illness is a real eye opener for people on the outside world.Fletcher said it was important for people not to jump to conclusions about certain behaviours without knowing the full story behind it.I just feel like people should be judged on a blank canvas, Fletcher said.And until they know the person and the situation, I feel like its unfair for people to judge, especially with deeper issues.We all have some emotional times throughout our careers and our life.Fletcher now lives in Bali, working as a fitness instructor at a five-star resort.The 2006 premiership star is helping promote the suicide prevention group R U OK?In October, Fletcher will cycle from Perth to Albany as part of a charity event organised by the group.Fletcher said it was tough to reveal his own battle with depression back in 2004, but hes glad the issue of mental health is more in the open nowadays.The bravado around the football club is huge, Fletcher said.I guess coming out nowadays is not seen as a weakness, Its more shown as courage.

San Diego State running back Donnel Pumphrey has broken the FBS career rushing record.Pumphrey surpassed former Wisconsin star Ron Daynes mark of 6,397 yards early in the fourth quarter of the Aztecs 34-10 win over Houston during the Las Vegas Bowl Presented by Geico on Saturday.?He finished the day with 115 yards, giving him?6,405 for his career.?It means the world to me, Pumphrey said as his father wiped away tears before hugging him.?Pumphrey, a Las Vegas native, broke the mark on a 15-yard sweep to the right side in the fourth quarter. His San Diego State teammates briefly paused to mob him, while family and friends in the stands relished the emotional moment.The record does come with a caveat: Dayne rushed for 728 yards over four bowl games in his career, but the NCAA doesnt credit those yards to his total because it didnt start counting bowl games toward records until 2002. Dayne played for the Badgers from 1996 to 99. His career rushing total including bowl games stands at 7,125 yards.As a result, Pumphrey is now technically the FBS all-time rushing champion. He got there despite the emergence of teammate Rashaad Penny, who had taken away carries from Pumphrey this season. In fact, Pumphrey and Penny are the first pair of teammates to rush for 2,000 yards and 1,000 yards, respectively, in the same season.Its emotional, Penny said. To watch that guy doo what he do and accomplish so many goals -- its amazing.ddddddddddddWere just as fired up as he is, linebacker Calvin Munson said of Pumphrey. All of our defensive guys hate him in practice because he is good and he gets us better. He couldnt have done it without the O-line, the fullbacks, the offense.Im just trying to take some credit for you, Munson joked, with a smiling Pumphrey sitting next to him.Coach Rocky Long turned to Munson and responded: You dont block anybody.Pumphrey had 1 yard rushing on seven carries in the first quarter, and the Aztecs didnt record a first down until the first play of the second quarter -- on a penalty for running into the kicker.The first quarter, they came out with more intensity than we did, at least their defensive side of the ball, Pumphrey said.But Pumphrey started to gash Houston on the perimeter, giving San Diego State the lead for good on a 32-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, and the defense intercepted four of Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr.s passes in the second half.Pumphrey passed Texas DOnta Foreman, who will not play in a bowl game, for the 2016 season rushing lead. Foreman had 2,028 yards for the season.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. ' ' '
