North Melbourne chairman Ben Buckley provided the following statement about Majak Daw on Tuesday afternoon.
Daw was hospitalised following a "serious incident" on Monday evening on Melbourne's Bolte Bridge, getting rescued by emergency services at approximately 11pm.
"Firstly, thank you all for coming on short notice and thank you for your understanding and care in these delicate circumstances," Buckley said.
"As you will appreciate, given the sensitive nature of this situation, I will only be making a brief statement and won’t be taking any questions.
"Majak is currently recovering in hospital after an incident last night.
"Majak sustained very serious injuries to his hips and pelvic region.
"He is currently in a stable condition and is expected to be operated on later today.
"Our primary concern is, of course, his mental and physical health and wellbeing, and also the wellbeing of his family, friends, teammates, coaches and staff at the club.
"The club is providing full and ongoing support for Majak and his family – and also the players and the wider club community.
"We’d like to sincerely thank everyone for their messages of support and concern for Majak.
"We understand the significant level of interest, but again – we ask that the privacy of Majak, his family, players and staff be respected at this sensitive time.
"Thank you."
I am not a north Melbourne supporter but feel so sad about what has happened there is too much at the moment. We have police and other emergency service people taking their own lives and there is quite a lot in the sporting community as well at the moment. Thoughts and prayers to everyone involved take care
