Excellent.The Geelong board is melting big time re duckwoods week off . Beautiful..
Sicily would need to double his IQ to reach dumbMitchell gets a ‘good bloke’ pass.
And as for Sicily......he think he’s Carl Ditterich??
Man that was dumb.
I wonder what Schwass wants done that isn't being done?
Step 1.
Men are often raised to believe seeking help is weak or unmanly - this type of wrong-headed cultural socialization will take generations to turn around.
Step 2.
I think it begins with more support, especially through the courts post divorce. A time where men are often made to feel worthless and and up believing everyone is better off without them (leading back to my previous point).
See, I saw Burton's and my first thought was, there's another youngin lost to Alistair Clarkson.I can't believe i am agreeing with Robbo in regards to Burton getting let off, i feel sick. I can't explain how much i hate this man.
How Thomas can be up for 4 weeks and Burton get off does not sit right with me at all. Both chose to bump, both had other options, especially Burton, both were dangerous and caused a lot of damage.
How people can say Burton didn't mean any malice is ridiculous. What else are your intentions when you choose to bump a player who has the ball?
Not directly about Carlton, but an article in the Age concerning an ACL epidemic mentioned a La Trobe University study into repeat ACL injuries and ACL prevention.

Could go some of the way into explaining our partnership with them.
I don’t mind that you disagree but what do you disagree on?Nah disagree, u’ve been conditioned too much. There are such things as accidents, Lindsay Thomas is thecomplete opposite
Perhaps Burton didn't have intent, but he was reckless. He elected to brace and had no regard for the potential consequence. He did have a choice and the decision is inconsistent with how the MRP has approached previous decisions
Suicide and suicide ideation not taken seriously?Perhaps for the issue to be taken seriously, which i don't think it is.

I'm not suggesting to give Sicily a pass. But how ridiculous to label that as serious misconduct while handing out fines for jumper (head) and stomach punches. It's got to be one or the other with all of these acts. The 'one' should be obvious.And as for Sicily......he think he’s Carl Ditterich??

What do you mean conditioned too much, is that a response to everyone who may see the game different?
I see it very simply, Burton chose to bump instead of tackle, in the bump he knocked his opponent unconscious, meaning a part of his body hit his opponent in the head.
Him bumping wasn’t an accident he just didn’t do it right.
The rate from middle to older age bracket substantially increases in males.You mention "especially" is this demographic represented higher in suicides? I thought the suicide rate for teens was a lot higher than divorcees.

The bump is an integral part of the game, there are deliberate acts of violence and accidents.
Lindsay Thomas is deliberate act of violence, Burton is an accident and they’ve been adjudicated that way.
I remember the Gia hit on Koschitzke, it was a head on head clash. That is an accident every day of the week as people just aren’t going to lead with their head and intentionally knock someone out with it.
Sometimes common sense has to make its way into the game.
so just money?Why ask a question that you already know the answer to?
I will try at some stage today to find how much money is spent on suicide/prevention or mental health in general compared to other health issues.
We will then see if it’s taken seriously.
As you obviously disagree, why don’t you actually share your thoughts rather than ask rhetorical questions.
