Gee wizz the Danny Frawley service being broadcast on SEN is bringing tears to the eyes.

So many of his mates talking choking back tears.

Was loved by so many.

Make sure you talk to someone if you're struggling people. And make sure you check on your friends. Even the most jovial ones. Esspecially the most jovial ones.
Such a good point. My dad's cousin suicided the day before Father's Day this year, leaving behind a young adult son and daughter. Classic case of 'the last guy you'd expect'.

There are lots of resources available these days--Lifeline is just one and is available 24 hours at 13 11 14. Never be ashamed to ask for help or talk about feelings, especially all you blokes out there. You're far too important and loved to suffer in silence.
 

Someone seriously needs to put Mick Shithouse back in his box or out of his misery.

Now our list was shit (I thought we were at 11 o'clock).

Oh and he could coach again but won't get a chance because of his age????

Mate nothing to do with your age, you are an old arrogant miserable piece of work. Since he bailed on the coaching succession at Collingwood he showed it was all about him. Nothing has changed.

Completely past it.

And I can shit doughnuts.
Shut the **** up Mick.
 
Who else wants Toby Greene to get off at the Appeals board tonight ?

BE HONEST :D

I honestly think he should and I want him too.

The AFL look like an absolute basket case but what is new.

He should have been suspended for the Bont incident and wasn't, this was petty payback by the AFL and it's cronies.

The fact Cotchin didn't get rubbed out last year to be fair probably means both Grenne and Hawkins should be playing :p.

Toby is such a weapon. Super talent, totally committed, buckets of mongrel.
He really does seem to like putting hurt on the opposition.
Any way he can.

We are one of only 6 clubs he has never been reported against, so he is still a top bloke in my book :D 👍👍👍👍

I can't remember seeing it mentioned anywhere on this board (and I don't look at others), but if you haven't seen Tom Boyd's inteview on Open Mike, I strongly recommend you take a look.

I don't think I've ever heard a more articulate AFL footballer in my life, and that includes our own Doch, who we all rate very highly. The way Tom is able to convey what he went though as a footballer is remarkable and quite an eye-opener.

Spoiler alert, it's not at all your typical tug at the heart strings story ...
 
I was watching one of the footy shows last night, the one where Neroli Meadows interviews a player, she was doing Brett Delidio, it was really interesting and quite sad, Brett was really honest about his move and the struggles he faced shortly after.

It’s been really disappointing today to see the reaction on social media, people saying he got what he deserved, life’s hard for everyone, you should be thankful you got to play AFL.

Seriously what is wrong with people, that someone can’t have it tough and be sad because others are sad too, we all have hardships, that doesn’t mean I can’t feel empathy or sympathy for others who do too.

I’m really glad that this type of behaviour doesn’t exist here or that it’s deleted. Good job peeps.
 
Bout the only time I have agreed with Barret this year on us and the AFL one down the bottom.

 
Well I summoned the courage to watch Danny Frawley’s Memorial Service. I got the full Foxtel experience as it cut out before it was finished.

However...

It was filled with kindness, humour, truthfulness, madness and love which reaffirmed what I knew about Spud. A larger than life figure who suffered the debilitating effects of mental illness and carried on as best he could despite the odds. I would say that his was an overwhelming illness and, in the end, he couldn’t fight it any longer. I’m not judgemental about Spud’s death. I accept the reality that sometimes people are beyond the constant reassurance of the love that surrounds them.

I’ve had my own battle over 3 or more decades and I’ve known the depths of despair and it’s debilitating effect. I’ve received help. I’ve received love and support. Apart from my wife and my GPs (and some uncaring people who I worked with) this has been essentially my battle with mental illness. Unlike Danny I was able to withdraw into my own world and deal with it. I’m not so sure I would have survived it if I had to do this as a public persona. I have a close circle of family and friends and feel vulnerable when dealing with the wider world.

Anyway I’ve made this about me (again). I think Danny would have liked that.
