Not so sure, as this generation seems to be a softer, more entitled one, than the ones before. This seems to be a "me" generation.

Anyway it is a difficult argument to win, but just an opinion.

Spoken like a boomer entirely lacking in self-awareness. Bravo.

We'll probably never know the truth about Hogan's departure. No point conjecturing, no point going on about generational gaps, no point farting nails.

As someone said to me once, It is what it is. What it is we'll never know.

Agreed. As you said, there’s no point farting nails (I really hope this saying catches on).

Back in my day we ate steel and farted nails. 

...and we walked - back in them days, like ... barefooted over rough terrain for at least 20 miles, each Saturdee morning to play for the local footy team reserves and then a turn-around, same way and method, to get back home before Dad sent out the dogs to look for us after sunset...but at least, Mum had a bowl of hot, cabbage soup for our supper and after a quick bath in the laundry tub, it was into bed for the simpler walk, once a month, to church in the morning when the travelling preacher came to our neck of the woods. Gawd it was tough but we had no idea what was on the other side of the horizon, except for this big dam they called 'Cape Otway'.

I'd imagine that was quite painful.

The truth is that we are all the same at any age.  We act on our basic instincts.

The 'Me' generation can include anyone of any age.   The selfish gene can afflict anyone,  anytime.  Millennials = Baby Boomers and anyone else in between.

We forget what we were like when we were young - or perhaps we go into denial as we age.  Oldies pointing the finger at the young is hypocritical. 

 

Totally agree 'Macca', it's not reserved for any one generation.

I have only seen the one photo of Jessie having a lie down in the bar. What other photos are doing the rounds on the net?

There's one where he's wearing a Dockers jumper. An act of rash stupidity that a number of young men these days unfortunately indulge in.

Interesting that you attacked me and not my opinion. Also interesting that you labelled me with entirely lacking self awareness, when you probably don't know the first thing about me.

Anyway, I said it was only an opinion and a very hard argument to win.

Spoken would indicate that I was criticising what was said in that moment, not the individual in perpetuity. 

In any case, you’re pointing a finger at an entire generation as if yours is on a pedestal. Get your hand off it; we’re all scumbags.

In humanity terms, the closer you are to being a member of a "focus generation", the closer you are to the inevitable.........

Caine: Master, if I shall love others, how can I be sure that they in return will love me in return?
Master Po: Do you seek love or barter?
Caine: But, if I love others and they do not love me, I shall feel great pain.
Master Po: That is what you risk, Grasshopper: great pain, or great joy.
 
Perhaps of only marginal relevance to this thread?

It is just the notion of social evaluative contribution based on formative reasoning that differs and then it might progressively change to interpersonal evaluative judgements - depending on one's own haste for that change, itself.

They say on dark nights ... just like that one ... about 3am on the Freo foreshore, when the DJ has packed up his gear and gone home and the night is still and quiet, you can hear the sound of a power forward ralphing into the lapping waves below

Grasshopper: uh .... right. Do you reckon Jesse is going to kick a bag when he plays us?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
