Collingwood and class are not bedfellows.

I personally think stories need to be told (as horrific as they might be) so people who live in a sheltered world (like me) can be horrified into understanding domestic violence and help in eradicating it.

My heart goes out to you, Green Stick. Having worked in this area, and experienced it first hand as well, and although it sounds like an exaggeration... it's something of a holocaust what goes on behind closed doors in too many family homes. Violence and abuse (physical, psychological & sexual) are far more prevalent that many folk may realise.
Further to what the Spotted One noted about mental illness, I'd add drugs, alcohol and other destructive addictions. Not to mention the role that fundamental religions play in all manner of abuses as well. And contrary to what many folks believe, these abuses sweep across all socio-economic groups, not confined to lower socio-economic groups.
And bear in mind that what is reported is but the tip of the iceberg. Non-reporting and fear of reporting is a pandemic.

??
You’re kidding right ?
Many bleated that SOS wasn’t emotive…
Re: General Discussions - ElwoodBlues1 - 05-05-2024
When Daicos jr kicked that goal it reminded so much of his father in terms of how he runs, the balance and laying the ball across the boot. His old man is over the top and as GTC has said that when he gets on the drink he acts stupidly, carries on and you can really see him still living the dream through his kids and I wonder how he will react when things dont go their way which will happen one day.

I'm really sorry to hear that Mantis. It's good to know that it was finally resolved even if it took such a long time.
If you're willing to share your story, I'm sure that many will be interested and willing to learn from your experiences. We probably should start a new thread though. Let me know and I'll split the last few posts.

Quote:Carlton legend Brendan Fevola has declared he is "sad" at the fact that no gay AFL players have felt safe enough to come out and express their sexual identity after podcaster Scott O'Halloran revealed he previously had a years-long relationship with an AFL player..
Speaking on Fevola's Melbourne radio show, The Fox's Fifi, Fev and Nick for Breakfast, O'Halloran said he had a relationship with a now retired player for "about 3-4 years", adding that he would "never ever share their identity"
Funny this...
Ian Roberts came out nearly 30 years ago in Rugby League.
Women AFL+Soccer players seem to have no trouble with it.
Colin Hughes the gay footballer on Ted Lasso declared himself...teammates seemed more concerned he didn't trust them with the info.
I guess the question is...
Is it anybody's business?
Do we really need to know?
Is it important that we know"
Would it be a positive for young gay footballers, or would the atmosphere in a teenage team be a little less tolerant than a professional organistation

Given Clarko, Finlayson and now Powell of Gold Coasts slurs i reckon it might be a while before we see a AFL player brave enough to come out...

It would take courage, but wouldn't it be a 'statement' at this point of time.
It might, in a bizarre way, be exactly what the game needs to happen.

There's been a few players who have been 'outed' over the journey.
Most notably when Jacko outed someone on Live tv during a legends game.
There's the comedian Josh Lawson (?) who said he has had a relationship with a former brownlow medalist.
Plenty of people have been speculated about and plenty know it to be true, but nobody has 'admitted it'.
I think its time.
