    I'm sorry, it is not just my business but it is everyone's business so pretending you can say it is not my business and therefore it goes away is la la land (and pathetic attempted bullying btw). As I said, public figures should expect their personal lives to be a discussion point whether they like or not. For good or bad there is massive social/media industry covering public relationships and I am not alone amongst the millions doing this on the daily basis. You can abuse me for doing so but just get over it. You keep mentioning that it was "Nicky's choice" and she has free will - as if you have just discovered yesterday that women do/should have in fact have equal rights to men like the right to choose and not be "pegged down" in controlling relationship as you are implying. However this does not justify Garry's behaviour or choices. Since you know Garry and the issue well : - To say Garry did not need to keep Bill in the loop ( I think he did btw, but not sure) is just completely dis-repectful to a mate, because if he was a true mate, he would know how it affected Bill and would have treated it with care or not involved himself at all. Bill was widely reported as being very angry about it. - Did Garry expect this would have caused issues with Bill ? How was Bill likely to take it and how would he react? Did Bill need more help than what Garry could provide? Did Bill need professional help? Is Bill the complete obsessive love-sick nut job as he is being painted by you ? As Garry is a public advocate of mental health, please tell us the answers so we can all : 1) Learn and benefit from the lessons here, does love conquer all? 2) Clean up any miss-correct media stories or public relations errors in releasing / covering this...

    You fair dinkum Garry's Mate? Not my business? It is public info which is plastered over the news by public figures who chose to make it so. https://au.sports.yahoo.com/afl-billy-brownless-garry-lyon-love-affair-ex-wife-former-mates-speaking-211840467.html According to the media, the fact that Billy was shocked and taken unawares by Garry's "affair" probably suggests he would have preferred to have known earlier or before it happened? Did Garry keep Billy in the loop about his feeling towards his ex? Based on Bill's reaction It would appear that he didn't and I am allowed to speculate on this because it was a reported public "scandal". I know nothing about real mental health issues and their treatment and never claimed to do so but I know that open communication with your mates and respect for others and their situations is a good starting point for preventing lots of issues arising. The problem is that it is much easier said than done.

    Yes and No. You should be able to go to your mates, if they are real mates who can talk with you about anything. Not sure if Garry should be the best example of 1) a respected mental health advocate and 2) the type of mate you would go to with a problem. Bill : Something's off with me missus mate, can't quite put my finger on it... Garry : Geez is that the time??? I gotta run (or replace with any other disrepectful comment...)

    I think we all need to hop on Neeld's Reality Bus here for a second. I think 2021 AFL total crowds will be a good 10-15% off 2019 AFL total crowds based on COVID alone. There could be another outbreak in mid-winter and things could shut down again as happened in Europe mid-winter particularly as international flights start again and due to slow vaccine roll out. Based on this threat alone, and a few of the elderly maybe reconsidering attendance this is a reasonable estimate. Before making this a club issue, we will have to normalize numbers against COVID, which wont be easy until we have played ~10 rounds and can start digesting the numbers with a bit more confidence.
  6. Hopefully this will restart the downward spiral of the colliwobbles.... they will all spend more time focussing on Buckleys instagram account, their trading debacle, and forget about the football for a while
  7. Are you serious? "people on this forum need a reality check" bla bla.... The whole point of this forum is to come here and take cheap shots at the opposition when they are down and laugh at their ignominy rather than turning on our own. Maybe you are unaware of the history of the rivalry between melbourne and collingwood? We can use any mainstream social / liberal narrative we like to tell our story, which is what it is - a story. If you come here for a correct and deep social analysis you have come to the wrong place. Go back to QAnon for that.
  8. Collingwood is the official "Proud Boys" Club thanks to Eddie. Expect them to be running up Spring St in their black and white Fred Perry polo shirts anytime now to storm parliament house and take it back from the deep state baby blood drinkers.
  9. Never! But his dad Phugly Phin Phil is always welcome to make a donation!
  10. Bugg, Stretch, JKH...maybe Jeffy G.... Campbell Brown loves saying that these are good targets for oppo clubs

    isnt china southern one of our sponsors? Who is there Oz domestic partner? Could be a good news opportunity for them??? I know air asia leases out spare capacity.... maybe they could route one of their chinese destination flights from melbourne via perth with a long stopover... or just lease a few widebodies to an Oz operator
  12. Well done casey to get into the granny!!

    Ballantyne you rippa!
  14. I am with you.... the 3 hr delayed flight home would have definitely dented the spirits also... Judd is a cold robot...who cares what he thinks...
  15. I nominate Chris and Rebecca Judd... Chris for his : "I am not going to die of cancer" pun at the cancer fundraiser, constant focus on the FinRev, his share portfolio and steely attitude to topics devoid of humanity Bec for her : Farewell pullaway kiss from Tony Jones any other nominations??? Disclaimer: I have never met either of these people and don't know them
  16. Most likely under the influence of charlie in the "Meth Coke Eckies" glory days...
