We might know each other, we might not, we might have met, we might not, we might not know someone if we walked past them in the street but I like to think we're ahead of the game when it comes to middle aged men showing themselves as being vulnerable, willing to admit they aren't bullet proof and willing to admit they might need some support from time to time.
Years ago I remember "jokes" about Darren Millane's passing, albeit crass, distasteful and disgusting we all heard them and maybe even repeated them.
The Danny Frawley thread shows how far this little SAF community has come and if we're a reflection of the wider community then things are headed in the right direction in this space.

How do you think the lad will go with his footy?
Over the years I have found that a lot of these kids that are 6ft plus in juniors really struggle to make the transition to senior football, or don't fulfil their junior potential.
I have found that being so much bigger than the other juniors is great for playin junior football, their sheer size is intimidating and the junior footballers aren't quite experience enough to work ways around the size. What has happened on many occasions is that it creates really bad habits and these kids struggle as they come up against kids/adults the same size who aren't intimidated of their size.
Is it just me who has theory? I'm sure everyone here played with that massive kid who dominated juniors and was a future star only to never make it.

They have a fair Grand Final Day package, $50 gets you drinks from siren to siren and a gourmet share platter for your table.
