That does make it difficult. However not talking about it at all is not working.  #1 killer in young males.

If it can be discussed without the details of how it was done perhaps that would not prompt an increase. My mate from work committed suicide around a year ago and its just hard to take. 32yo, bright, seemingly happy guy, long term partner, good career.  his partner or family had no idea why he did it and no known history of mental illness.  one chat could have saved him

    No. Talking about suicide in the media increases the rate of suicide. It’s not just about the method of suicide although that’s part of it (copycat suicides). One chat is unlikely to save anyone. It’s not always related to mental illness although often it is associated with mental illness.

    Yep. And lots of families don't want others to know their business.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
