AFLW 2024 - Round 3 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
It's been good having you around these threads mate.I took a differmet tack with my ten and Eight year old sons
They watch games with me and were asking what it was all about, the minutes silence and the circles
I explained the coach had died on Friday and people were really sad and wanted to show to the family of PHIL they loved him and it helped people overcome sadness
So my son asked how he died ......?
After a brief pause I said his son did something when he was really angry and he died ....it was the best age appropriate way of explaining
My ten year old said wow it's great all those people loved him ....I said yeah
I said the world is loving place actually and we need to learn to love more and not just when people die, but when they are alive ....
I used the opputunity to teach my children about love and what it really means .....I also explained that we are not alone and if we are having battles to tell someone about it and don't keep it in and when we are sad we can share that too and people will stand by you just like they did for PHIL Walsh
That arvo my two boys clearly affected by the chat came up to me with a card after they had told mum ....the card just said "we love and your a great dad" ...I'm also a very busy guy and spend large amounts of time away from family travelling in car for my job ".......it was a touching moment
Today I'm reflecting on how I can be better dad and I would like you big footy members to do the same ......if you don't have kids reflect on how you could be closer to your dad if you know him or closer to anyone in your family
From tragdey I'm trying to use it in my family as something that can be turned into resilience
In every tragdey we can learn something that can help us ...yes mourn as we all have done and I'm sure in the coming days and weeks we can learn from it.....
Have a great day everyone
Or not.have seen a few recently who have not been pleasant in ed, one needed tasering to subdue.I agree with you, when you're high it's happy days but that come down stage is not such a happy stage.
The evidence that he was on ice may not have been released as yet, but won't be long before it does.
True words these.Or not.have seen a few recently who have not been pleasant in ed, one needed tasering to subdue.
I do not like being assaulted by patients who behave like this......
Just saying, it affects each and every user differently, each and every time they use.

I'm beginning to think the speculation the son was "high on ice" doesn't hold water. Or at least, as some other have mentioned - he may have been a user but the crime was perpetrated during a "come down" or withdrawal. Or some other drug was involved. Or there was mental health issues. A chemical imbalance (the source of which we don't know) has the be the only explanation for this kid to carry out such a heinous act.
When the incident was first reported, it sounded like it was ice-affected because police mentioned an argument at 2am which resulting in Walsh tragically recieving multiple fatal stab wounds and wife recieving some collateral damage. I think many of us deduced that the son came home high in the early hours of the morning, was confronted with lead to a frenzied meth-induced attack.
But the information coming out now is that Walsh was attacked in his bed. That the son hugged the mother before stabbing his father. Add to this the fact that police so quickly charged the son with murder, rather than manslaughter. It sounds like cold, calculated intent. And was designed to catch Phil Walsh off-guard, because he was a big strong, guy who would have been able to physically defend himself if confronted (though perhaps not if this son was indeed high).
Having attempted to read some of the son's blog, granted it was 6 years ago and he may have changed dramatically since then - but he was certainly an odd 20 year old. There's elements of narcissism, inferiority, a limited perspective and set of interests - which was basically to learn Japanese and acquire an Asian girlfriend. And yet, there is no explanation for why he wants these things - he is almost dispassionate about them. His ramblings are almost entirely self-obsessed. It was perplexing to me how someone who seems borderline dyslexic would be throwing himself into learning another language. What he says about how alcohol affects him was illuminating though. Many studies suggest the certain people are genetically predisposed to mental illness when exposed to drugs - this could be something as "benign" as marijuana, even alcohol - god knows what a malignant drug like ice does to one's brain.
Just feel desperately sorry for the Mother who will now be going through all of the possible "red flags" in her head now, but which lead to something she could not possibly foreseen or prevented.
PossiblySeems like a sad loner; one of those people who thinks they're smarter, better looking and more socially awesome than anyone else... Yet nobody else realizes it.
His blogs are self absorbed and rambling, and show a lack of discipline and understanding. It's strange how many people who do something like this have blogs that are so similar.
I suspect he always felt inferior, like he could never match the old man - made even worse by the fact that Walshy was loved and adored by people like Walker, Danger and Sloane - they were everything he wanted to be, and his old man loved them.

Apparently he had travelled ALOT all at a tender age and if those rambling a are correct maybe he was a bit alternative. he was into yoga meditation other stuff which most youngs guys aren't really into.but I met a young 28 yr old guy years ago through a family who was into meditation and some weird tarot card stuff and all that shit and was into an alternative lifestyle he suffered from depression, was quite a strange one he seemed to have a bad relationship with the father.The son of Phil Walsh's seemed to be searching for something in his travels which seems relatively normal... People go out searching for themselves.. All the time ,hell I did in my early 30's.If drugs are involved it highlights the need for more support to anybody out there strugglingI'm beginning to think the speculation the son was "high on ice" doesn't hold water.

If you have a look at his travel video blogs you'll see he has a tendency to smoke joints with locals in front of the camera. And has no problem posting it on the internet. Like he's invincible from the law of every country he visits.Apparently he had travelled ALOT all at a tender age and if those rambling a are correct maybe he was a bit alternative. he was into yoga meditation other stuff which most youngs guys aren't really into.but I met a young 28 yr old guy years ago through a family who was into meditation and some weird tarot card stuff and all that shit and was into an alternative lifestyle he suffered from depression, was quite a strange one he seemed to have a bad relationship with the father.The son of Phil Walsh's seemed to be searching for something in his travels which seems relatively normal... People go out searching for themselves.. All the time ,hell I did in my early 30's.If drugs are involved it highlights the need for more support to anybody out there strugglingincredibly sad....it highlights how important father/ son relationships are, sometimes things just don't go right and people fall through some cracks
the consequences if that don't bare thinking about
