Suicide.
I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.
You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.
Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.
I know 2 men who hung themselves.
One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.
A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.
So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?
A segway for a moment.
I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.
After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..
"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".
Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.
"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.
After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".
Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".
And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.
Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.
If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.
They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".
They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.
If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.
Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.
So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.
You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.
For those who struggle, you're not alone.

Umpires just lost all credibility. Embarrassing that NWM just got 2 votes for a game he single handedly won. #brownlow2025 @AFL 🤡

@DimitriPeppas_ I don't see the issue here? What's wrong with the NPL promoting local Australian youth products? It gives them the best chance of going professional..

So it’s ok for A-League clubs to have a foreign GK but NPL clubs are forbidden under the new rules to have a foreign GK!

Apparently the Bryan Mbeumo news is ruined because of the wait & speculation. Rubbish. I'm so excited for his signing. Matheus Cunha & Mbeumo are about as good as it gets where Manchester United are as a club.
Fans who are frustrated or wish things were moving faster just want something to complain about, but this is the reality of the club. Like it or not, this is not the Manchester United we are all used to, not right now.
There's talk about the leverage lost on the players leaving? That was lost when their performances were poor, or because of their bloated wages, all which make them hard to move. That's on both player & club.
It's taking longer than expected to sign players? That's a financial problem as much as anything else. Fixing disastrous transfers or contracts of the past, or moving them on, needs to happen before more signings can.
Some media, pundits, fanscammers, they live on rage baiting, sensationalism & preying on fans emotions. And some fans let them do it. You don't have to.

So, who had the VC on Bont last night? 🥴 #SuperCoach #AFLFantasy

@ParamountPlusAU Adelaide have been absolutely robbed there. What's the point of VAR? Joke.

@FootyAccums Let's just take a moment to remember that VAR is meant for "clear and obvious errors".

I can't be the only one thinking this surely... does Peter Drury commentating the Euros on @OptusSport mean that he will be back for the Premier League next season? Let's hope so!
