All too often, threads on this site become mired in pessimism and nastiness. The weekly media cycle also tends to focus on the negatives, the things that annoy and frustrate and downright infuriate.
Perhaps, in the wake of Jarryd Roughead's outstanding coaching of his opponent in the weekend's VFL game, it is an opportunity to focus on some of the better moments we have witnessed on the footy field. Those acts of sportsmanship or camaraderie than linger and leave a lasting impression of pride.
What random acts of kindness have you witness that stand out for you?
A couple to get started - the way Richmond players last year all circled around Reece Conca after his shocking ankle injury was inspiring. Similarly, I will never forget the way Collingwood and Hawthorn players formed that circle at the start of the match the week that Phil Walsh was killed.
