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.


Saints must be loading 

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 ?

Clearly incidental and accidental

 

 

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!

Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it.

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

No comment WCW

A wise decision BBO. 😉 


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

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
