Grief is bad but not earth shattering. You have a cry, re-evaluate your life...but you get back on the horse like a man and get on with it. Look at the Ukrainians they just fight to the death.
Really bad post. I can understand your pov if you’re 12. Listen to the adults. Grief can consume ppl. Especially if you don’t deal with it. It takes time to go through the cycle. If you put it off the stages can be worse. As for the ppl in Ukraine they have no choice but to get on with it. The grief will get them eventually and as a community it will take a huge toll.
IMHO we stereotype we too much , so many things in life effect us all differently, I don’t believe you can truly understand what someone is going through unless you live it yourself .
I love Dimma

Just wondering if anytime you’ve suffered grief you’ve had to do it as a public figure? Did you have to perform your job in front of huge crowds and an even bigger television audience while suffering from this grief? Was the person you were grieving for deported from the country you live in for the last six or seven years of his/her life?
Agree and add - lost someone who
was your best mate
was your close mentor
the person you played footy for
the reason behind your extraordinary success
the main reason why you do what you do so well
source of your motivation
Remember Dusty admitted previously that he struggled for motivation the season after he had achieved everything and he really missed his dad then.
I could understand and fully accept if we have seen the last of Dusty playing footy.
Playing in Round 1 would've put Dusty in all kinds of situations where memories of his dad would've suddenly "hit him" all over again. He used to finish most post-game interviews by saying "I love you dad". Think he's said he usually has a text waiting for him on his phone after every match. Probably speaks to him about stuff the next day. Lots of little things would've been missing, and each one would've hit him hard, and yet, he had the whole country watching his every moment, so he also had to put on a face for the cameras.
It's not easy to control the triggers of grief. If everything about your job reminds you of someone, then you're going to struggle on your first day back. That's just how it is. And if anyone has a problem with that, well, I suggest they get over it.

Still early, but if Dimma can't fix up this capitulation, he might have to move on.
Have a look at the way we play. It's pathetic. No system at all. Just kick, pass and HOPE!
I wouldn’t go that far. But if I was the midfield coach like McQualter I’d be very nervous. We have been absolute *smile* for as long as he’s been in charge there since Kingsley started coaching the backs.
I think our assistant coaches are an issue. Seems a lack of quality there compared to other clubs. Dimma has been there 13 years now. It’s a long time. Not saying he should go but he may not be up for a full rebuild if that is what we do need.
But he has brought us 3 wonderful flags so he gets to choose.

Obvious move when Grimes was injured was to push Balta back. Why crucify Gibcus - a third gamer? That’s inept.
Perseveres with his favourites at the expense of the team. Lost the plot after halftime along with the players.

I worry that he is listening to them, and they have far less of a clue than the likes of Leppitsch, Rutten, Caracella and McRae.
Rebuild is definitely on the cards.
Our midfield is probably close to the worst midfield in the comp at the moment.

Got to shake things up at Tigerland.
