  1. What point are you trying to articulate @MyFavouriteMartian? Perhaps you misinterpreted my post? My point is, it's a great thing that the players are accessing the mental health services provided to them, even in very very recent years, there haven't been the culture's within some clubs (as it's always lead from the top (coaches, captains etc)) that would advocate for using such services.
  2. That response would be hilarious if it wasn't so misguided. Wow! Some old school coaches, do not like outsiders with breadth of skill set taking over 'their' space. Anyway... an evolved generational shift is occurring, and that can only lead to good outcomes.
  3. All the players 'struggle' - I know of one club in the last few years that had around 50% of their players attending one psych external from the club... ranging from premiership players struggling with weekly scrutiny from public and perceived judgements from teammates, as well as those who felt there were favourites from coaches/selection committee and not getting games... and then more general anxiety. The more the services are used (and advocated for) the better. It's a generational shift...and Thank Fork for that.
  4. It's fascinating isn't it, who provides what expert information to the AFL to make the 'entertainment package' more subjectively palatable. I for one am a purist, and quite like the dull sounds of blokes running on turf, smacking into each other, whilst having a beer in one hand, and goanna oil in the other...
  5. A bit of an Adam Heuskes if my intel remembers correctly...
  6. As we have plenty of time to think... if you had to - who would you prefer? The potential of Jackson on the park or The potential of Hogan on the park
  7. Bruise free football coming up for both teams... and fair enough. There is genuinely no point playing.... perhaps someone can tell me what political mechanics allowed the football season to begin anyway.
  8. Mmmm, i thought that, then I realised I was referring to form from the 2019 season. A whole range of things have drastically changed. I'm optimistic.
  9. Hopefully they're using Andy Walshe as part of this, rather than the product itself... judging the quotes above though, I think not.
  10. Nice research @FireInTheBennelly! Not desirable from my perspective.
  11. On a side note - considering the climate (literal and metaphoric) of the world and how insular people are getting. If I was AVB (from Tathra) I'd move to Bermagui up the road... if you check the map - you can burn both bridges of the rivers and cut yourself off from the rest of the world as there is no other access... just saying property is cheap.
  12. @dazzledavey36 All player discussions are serious... but you know that. Do you mean - 'sadly' his body is not up for it - and what he can do whilst he is on the list is not often enough for him to warrant a spot - even though when he is on, he is pretty good, and he is a top bloke?
  13. drag it out as long as possible AND YOU"RE STILL IN the media...
  14. Longest pre-season ever...
  15. Post self quarantine... I must remind myself that if I meet any other JakovichScissorKick's around the street, that not ALL JakovichScissorKick's are like the one currently posting on Demonland...
  16. thanks for the clarity...
  17. the one's in bangladesh?
  18. 100% - would love that to be an option in every game...
  19. Nice graphics in this literature
  20. Mmmmm, true that, my 4 yo loves board games.... methinks I'll have to get on his program if it all comes to fruition.
  21. If this is true - then this article from Vanuatu may be a good read. It's the boredom that makes it hard.
  22. Are you Jeremy Cameron’s Mum? An aside, I drove through Dartmoor last week, not much there.
  23. Courageous act to put this out there... well done.
  24. Dang! I Should have come here first for that discount info! Looking forward to travelling in on the train to some games, rocking the look. Some how I think these sneakers will look alright with jeans..
