Spot on. Poster is falling victim to a cognitive distortion. He/She is basically assuming that Jack is thinking “I’m all that”, from behaviour, when from what we know, we as a species are absolutely appalling at explaining behaviour.

As much as we want to make known our triumphs, there will continue to be people who will believe their own ideas, opinions, and harbour their own convictions until the grave. Like most NRA-US citizens, sometimes it’s just better to laugh at them.

Yeh, we know that, though. I’m with the second poster. Perhaps add a question or two to promote discussion.

Interstate teams losing in a Grand Final becomes an issue when the losing team is the interstate team. For the past week, from newspapers, forums, TV, all I've heard was how the Crows were the best team this year and that they were favourites (both arguably true), and on this forum in...

Probably stems from chronic emptiness and no sense of self. What these creatures then do, is act like campaigners because that's what they believe is attractive. Obviously they have no insight in their behaviour, so we really need to educate them. After we call them campaigners, of course.

Did I say you need to? Some campaigners on here don't understand basic knowledge, and I can state any profession or trade. I could well say I'm a bloody cabinet maker and argue that you have a screw loose in your splash back. People with nervousness and social shyness are likely to stumble...

Yes, asking for water. It's called dry mouth and easing the parasympathetic nervous system. As a psychologist by profession, I could cleary see the behavioural observations consistent with nerves and probably a lack of experience been a media grunt.

Some of you must be complete campaigners to highlight personal attacks on someone clearly having trouble reading and with some anxiety. Pathetic. Well done dusty!!!!!

Spot on.

None, of course. Rhetorical question or not. But that's not what we were referring to. Good man, best to keep the ball rolling.

I'm not talking about 'the club'. If you bring the 'club' into it, Richmond's is more justified to be Grand Finals ready (e.g., Hardwick, Caracella, Balme, Leppitsch, etc.), whether you have emotion attached it or not. We were talking about the players who will step foot on the field. They are...

No, they do not. They may have some idea of how to win pressure matches, but everyone playing in next week's Grand Final will experience their first, ever.

They should all invest and purchase a percentage of a salt lake. The extent of illogical thinking and complete idiotic justification for their conclusions of who wins/loses, is by far the worst I've read on any forum.

It speaks largely to a good percentage of supporters from each club that show the board and the world of their irrational thinking styles. Every club has a proportion of their fans who engage in absolute rubbish. Long gone are the days of good banter. The past can sometimes be a reasonable...

Way to help shoot up the nerves and anxiety! haha

The latest emotion science research would say that crying is a natural, adaptive response to the emotion of sadness. Sadness is a primary emotion, and it most instances it is very healthy to experience and process. We often feel it when there is a loss in our life, in some way or another (other...

Get off the crack pipes, mate.

One of my co-workers, a die hard Hawks member, said Richmond will win by 60 points. And I laughed and said, "no way, I feel like we'll get run over". He replied with "that's how you Richmond supporters think, but it's not the same Richmond of the past few years". I should be bloody excited but...

I'm glad you bought this topic up and opened the discussion for thoughts. The following thoughts are not meant to indicate clinically-informed opinion. Depending on the presenting problem/s (i.e., depression, anxiety, panic, PTSD, OCD, borderline personality disorder, substance use, gambling...

Feeling anxious and utter excitement at the same time. I hardly remember mid to late 1990s and 2001 finals for Richmond. My love for Richmond runs DNA deep, and with that has come a lot of pain and disappointment. And at the same time, I've experienced so much joy and reward, simply being apart...

Very good, enjoyed that clarification. How dare they call us Cats!!!!

Apparently North have offered this thread a 7-year deal for 1.5mil/year.

As a current provisional psychologist, I totally endorse this kind of medium and open communication between footy fans regarding mental health. Fantastic post OP.

No.

Terry Wallace last night on SEN gave his two cents, concluding that Ports home ground advantage will get them over the line in today's elimination final. Home ground advantage is no doubt a benefit. However, when you're about to compete against a team that doesn't give a flying **** where they...

AFL Mental Health Round

There is no bandwagon. Richmond supporters generally come in droves to footy matches, reflective of our crowds over the past decade with very very little, even no, success. Reiterating a previous post, reaching September is a start, beating some top 6 sides in the very near future, is the next...

Least favourite: 5 - Caroline Wilson 4 - Paul Roos 3 - Robert Walls 2 - Tony Shaw 1 - Damien Barrett Favourites: John 'Sammy' Newman Leigh Matthews Dermott Brereton Mark Fine (SEN) Very subjective this topic, but interested to see what others rate/don't rate.

^ Just like Anzac Day should be shared

Thought I'd add a few thoughts to this thread. I believe the Tigers are a chance for the eight this year; I base that conclusion on what I have observed, so far and on my own belief that they have the cavalry and support to make it, as they progress over the season. The Tiges had a great...
