I jumped of social media 18 months ago and I've not regretted it for a second. 

Social media is social poison. Twitter is an outrage machine and facebook has been shown to cause depression. Not in a few instances. People who use facebook feel worse afterwards. It's because the people in charge want to dodge their responsibility to society at every turn. "All power and no responsibility" was made to describe them.

God yes it is, the hard part is the better half spends hours on it a day.

We had a work end of year offsite a couple of years ago, the speaker comes in to give you a few nuggets to keep striving forward for the company goals. This year it was the mindfulness guy/business Richmond have used for the last 4 or so years that helped them bond/become better people/company.

Anyway old mate went down a social media rabbit hole and stated It was designed like the pokies. You get a fix and want to play again and again etc. Then “they” learn when you wake up and provide you “updates” at the right time as most people jump straight on it in bed. Kids nowadays receive more information in a week than “we” did in a month etc.

Ok, so you want us to talk about the AVO victim/s? To discuss what's happened to them? On an anonymous football forum? Just to balence the thread up?

I think you are confusing most poster's respect for the victim's privacy as to mean we do not care. For us to not know the name of the victim, the circumstances surrounding the AVO or it's breach is a good thing, and more than likely what they want. 

Not one person on here has said they do not have sympathy for the AVO victim. Of course we do.

You are right no one has said they don't have sympathy but equally no one has said they do. To suggest we need to know the victims name and other details to do so makes no sense at all. I expressed sympathy earlier quite easily. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/susie-obrien/susie-obrien-dean-laidleys-alleged-victim-also-needs-support/news-story/4dc3c70a264f1e63ee54506dc9f69ab5

I repeat: there would not be a person here who does not have sympathy for the AVO victim. It's a given. 

I'll leave you to continue to if you want.

 

I checked my list of 'Things victims of stalking and harassment really really want.'

Couldn't find 'Lots of attention from strangers especially on the internet' anywhere.

Whom ever  did Laidleys make up should be arrested and charged immediately for gross overuse of eye shadow. And Electric Blue as well!! Apart from this major indiscretion I thought he looked fairly presentable.

 

Another former west coast player with a drug habit, that club had a drug culture from their start to 2008.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
