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.

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

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.

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.

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

Well done casey to get into the granny!!

Love the gems : "Oh, there’s no question they have made a mistake. Gee, it’s going to be nasty,” one recruiter told the Herald Sun this week. Another said: “The talent industry was quite gobsmacked at the decision, to be honest.” and the most laughable One talent spotter said overlooking Kelly, 19, could prove worse than the well-documented Watts-Naitanui decision.

I reckon a top 10 draft pick is much riskier than a 20-40 pick... more solid performers always come later
