Yeah it's certainly complex dees ... and maybe different strokes for different blokes.

However, I've worked with counsellors etc .. in professional situations and wouldn't give any of them an ounce of credibility.

Maybe there's some useful ones out there - but I never encountered them

Mates are better

    This mental health stuff is really interesting ... but I'm old school and don't get it.

    I would never seek "help' or seek assistance ..... it's difficult to change ingrained beliefs.

    Totally mental BBO.

    Sometimes Graeme .... but ultimately ... it comes back to yourself

    Ultimately yes, but the message is mates have a role to lessen burden on one's self, and I believe that

    Was Laverde's questioning dissent ? Has this rule gone now? Or just this week?

    The dissent rule has been relaxed according to the AFL.

    That was a pathetic 1st half St Kilda. You look totally uninterested.

    Not surprising , saints and Brisbane both look like they’re upping the loading like us , both were really fatigued up at the Gabba last week and both are sides entrenched in top 4-6 - so why are we surprised saints would be flat around the bye ?

    Idk whether or not it was accidental. I was more focussing on the grossness of having half of someone’s (long) thumb exactly where it shouldn’t be… in your eye socket! 😬

    There was a (in)famous rugby game a few years ago WCW, where a digit was inserted into a place "where it shouldn't be"! 

    Hint..... not an eye socket!

    Now THAT’S definitely gotta be NOT accidental, surely.

    Saints looking better, or is it Bombers looking worse third quarter?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
