Just interested to know MisterD, does that mean if you upgrade this week then you will be a Gold member in time for this year's Grand Final allocation?

One of the main practitioners in the world is a guy called Russ Harris. Although he's an Aussie, a psychologist friend of mine in the U.K. put me on to him. He wrote a best selling book called 'The Happiness Trap' a few years ago... here's a link to its first 30 pages from Russ' own website for...

I reckon you might get something from seeing someone to help you figure out where the anger comes from... could be a psychologist, a psychiatrist with more of an interest in talking therapy, or a psychotherapist from a non-medical background. The latter don't get you a medicare rebate but charge...

Thought this article apt for this thread. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/dec/01/the-emotional-life-of-men-youll-be-right-isnt-enough-anymore

No it doesn't. But it mirrors life. Life doesn't come with a warranty either. Irrespective, sharing and connecting with someone else surely has to be important. Even if it is just so that one's own suffering does not go unwitnessed.

Agree re. Hogan - he's my favourite non-St Kilda player. Absolute gun and at this stage, after him and Cameron there is daylight to the next best young key forward prospect IMO. However, not so sure there is as much daylight in your call about the mids. Yes, you have greater quantity... but...

Psychiatrists are medically trained, hence many (not all) are pretty wedded to a biomedical belief of depression as an illness in the same sort of way that say diabetes is. Many (again not all) don't consider 'talking therapy' to be in their remit of treatment. On the other hand, having gone...

Just quickly fyi and of all others interested. You CAN get an online GP appointment. Eg here... www.gp2u.com.au Trouble is that it is not Medicare rebated so there will be an out-of-pocket fee of up to $70. I don't know any of the GPs on there so have no idea of the quality. I think the main...

Incorrect. Population examples: depression rates increase as people get older, or after particular life traumas e.g. losing a partner for instance. There are always individual circumstances that can help to lead to an understanding of why a person develops depression - hence why psychotherapy is...

Disagree. I think Sippos has one trick and that's an accurate (in terms of direction) long kick. However, he doesn't have the vision to be a penetrating passer, nor does he have much variety in his kicking - for instance he doesn't have the sort of silky skills of a Dal Santo or low bullets of a...

I agree that we'd love to get Parish, though we have probably won too many games to get him... perhaps Mav's brother traded from Freo this year or next? Having said all that, I can see Joey going on for a few years yet - an incredibly durable and consistent performer who since 2007 he has...

You're right, but one thing which is super-positive is that there are already potentially A grade teenagers who we have drafted in the last 2 years who will develop further over the next few years to almost directly replace them... Dempster - no replacement (the exception!) Montagna - Billings...

It did, but IMO the main reason it got knocked on the head is that Melbourne had already had significant prior draft concessions, AND they *didn't* tank and they were also expected to be able to get a decent compo for Frawley. Brisbane haven't had any draft concessions, nor any inflated benefit...

Eh? That's just false Ron... The second line is Melbourne during the period 2007-2015. Melbourne received a post-1st round priority pick in 2008, a pre-1st round pick in 2009 and then got two first round picks for Scully when he walked to GWS in 2011. The third line is Richmond during the...

I was at the Saints-Bombers game yesterday. Took my son (3 years old) with my best mate and his son (also 3yo) to their first games with their Dads. Obviously we loved that the game was such a great win for us, but a quick shout out to the players and supporters of both teams. In particular...

Apart from this article... http://m.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/police-to-probe-possible-ice-link-to-tragic-stabbing-death-of-adelaide-crows-coach-phil-walsh/story-fnpp66pk-1227427664550

Yes, Mooney was bog average, but that didn't stop Geelong winning two premierships with bog average key forwards (IMO Hawkins was bog average also until the second half of 2011). Nor West Coast snagging one in 2006. All of the flag winners had awesome midfields though, so that as long as...

Unrealistic. Last number 1 in his league was BJ Goddard - that's 13 years ago. If that's the standard you're setting you are highly likely to be disappointed.

Cameron Mooney is a triple premiership all australian player. He is no where near the class of Pavlich, Riewoldt, or for that matter Gehrig, Fevola or Neitz. None of those mentioned have a flag. And look at some other recent number 1s who are now well in to their careers... Watts, Scully...

Just to remind you that it was a VFL game. Hogan kicked 5 in his last AFL game. Obviously we hope that McC will be a gun, but as it stands I believe that Hogan will be the next great power forward of his generation... if McCartin can be as good as say a Cameron Mooney I will be pleased.

Bruce has just turned 23 (3 weeks ago) and Boyd is about to turn 20 (in 6 weeks) so there is in fact just over 3 years difference in age. Bruce has kicked 32 goals this year, to be top ten in the Coleman medal race. That's more than Travis Cloke, Taylor Walker, Kurt Tippett, Matthew Pavlich...

Yet... He isn't big enough to play in the middle yet on a consistent basis. Physically he's still a couple of pre-seasons away. However, if you get chance, take a look at the handball he gives from the stoppage to Arbitrage in the 7th minute of the 3rd Q in the game vs you guys. Silky smooth...

Yes in terms of type of player, but not in terms of talent, which is why I was using that comparison. IMO Membrey is a GOP at best, who frankly I doubt will make it as a consistent AFL player, whilst Lonie has AA potential, as Stringer most definitely has.

Fair enough, I don't disagree with that. I watch Billings closely and really enjoy what I am seeing, particularly given that he has quite a bit of physical development still to go also. I don't see as much of Bontempelli as the only non-Saints games I see are some of the televised Sat/Sun night...

That's a good table. But the most obvious gap there on the St. K list is the one after the top 5 players, who will as you say need to be replaced in the short term. After that every player is under 27. Bulldogs have 3 players over 28 who will also need to be replaced in the short term. Of...

Hence my comment "agreed. He is terrific" - which in the context of the original post is that I agree with the original poster that Stringer is far better than the St Kilda equivalent player. So I presume that the sarcastic reply by you is because you simply did not understand the post.

And being screwed by Boyd's manager.

Problem that we had was that because of having so many top players we needed to pay, we didn't have the depth. Arguably our best 5 players in 2009-10 were better than either Geelong's or Collingwood, but their 6-25 were way better than ours. Look at our GF sides and look at the bottom 5 -...

Probably of any team, any year. Our official injury list at the start of last week was one. Sam Fisher. Amazing. Every chance that coming back from the bye we will have every single player on the list available for 1st team selection. Not sure that has ever happened before.

Fantastic table Ron. From that I would split the teams in to groups... Kids: GC, GWS Youthful: Collingwood, Melbourne, St Kilda Mature: the rest Pensioners: North, Swans
