It would be a tough gig being off country and away from family during a long rehab. Would of had a very significant impact on his mental health.

No different from Cyril in the end

Just wanted to say Vale Brendan Edwards an absolute Star of our first Premiership in 1961.

A fitness freak who was ahead of his time.

RIP.

Complete coincidence all these Aboriginal players are experiencing off-field issues, never heard of it happening before.

Groomer?

Looks like we made the right call.

We didn't make any call at all. We would have picked him up as a rookie if he made it through. Hope he gets better and comes back.

With Willie Rioli’s career likely over you’d think WC or Freo would be all over him.

Question I have been asking myself is, do I love the Hawks or rather love the Hawks when they are winning. I’m nearly 40 so reflecting on the last 25 years or so that I really can truely reflect on, the answer starts to become easy and very clear - absolutely love em! Wouldn’t want to support any other club in the AFL nor emotionally invest in any other sporting club in the world.
So I suppose what I am saying is stick fat, constructively criticise if you need be, but keep showing up week in week out and it will be our turn at the top again soon enough.

Dees or Dogs winning the flag is the most palatable outcome for me.

Worst is Cats, then Tigers.

Pretty spot on for me, might swap tigers and cats

 

[Hawk Dork]

not the throw dogs either they already had one gifted to them

 

[Cleavy]

Dees or Lions of the current top 8

 

[Off The Couch]

Anyone but the cats or tigers

 

[Pessimistic]

Old men can ‘die happy’ with a dees flag

What is this sh*t?

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t we already have two players retire this year us to off-field issues?

Well, at least one. The other had life/relationship issues.

My comment was reason neutral. I didn’t think mosi had off field indiscretions which have led to his exit.

They are not the only ones.

With the Bolton Rioli incident, do the makers of the ‘unmute yourself’ realise such action can come with a cost?

 

[Hawks1994]

Not sure where else to ask this (if there is a more suitable thread please let me know) but a couple of family members who are Essendon members (yes, eww) have received emails from their club regarding a new members ticketing strategy competition wide involving the downloading of a club app of some sort to scan into games
Unfortunately, as happens with AFL clubs, the information is very vague

Anyone heard anything about this and what it's all about?
Cheers for any info

With the Bolton Rioli incident, do the makers of the ‘unmute yourself’ realise such action can come with a cost?

They were playing that ad with the guys BBQing in the stadium before the Saints game the other week. One guy talking disrespectfully about women in sport, the other guy just silently but uncomfortably listens. Rewind, this time he speaks up and says "that's not on mate". How does his misogynistic mate respond after a brief moment of reflection? "Yeah, you're right mate. Sorry"

Had to laugh. s**t rarely goes down like that in real life. Best case the person you're interacting with respects you highly enough to actually take it on board in that moment. More likely is that if they have such little respect for women they probably have little respect for anyone who doesn't share their views on women. And if they're a drunken stranger in a nightclub groping a woman then chances are saying "that's not on mate" isn't going to get you anywhere but into a physical altercation.

The intent behind the messages are good and I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't be trying to stop the behaviours, or that the Tigers boys could perhaps have found a better way to deal with it (don't know the details of the situation). Just agreeing with you that this type of incident is more reflective of these kinds of scenarios and how they're likely to go down when testosterone and alcohol are involved.
