I love Truslove's player assessment each week. ;)  ;D
He's a good bloke.
He never has a bad word to say about anyone :D

This is the right way to go about it iMO. You can get your message across without baking the players publicly.

Quote
16. Ben Camporeale
24 disposals, eight inside 50s, one goal

Benny Campo, it was his second game back from his concussion and he found some really good form. He was hard and tough at stoppages, and he continues to improve with his ball use going forward.
Translation: Still can't kick.

Quote
28. Harry Charleson
21 disposals, six marks, one goal

Harry Charleson is in good form. Playing off half-back, he’s finding plenty of the ball and his defensive positioning is always improving. His offence has been a real feature in the last few weeks: kicking his first VFL goal was nice, a good reward for the work he’s putting in.
Translation: Loves to attack, can't pick up his man.

Quote
30. Jack Ison
19 disposals, seven inside 50s, two goals

Jack had another strong performance, he’s improving his defensive intent and we know how classy he is with ball in hand. It was a strong all-round game: he played higher up the ground as a forward and got involved with our ball movement in the middle of the ground while also helping our defence.
Translation: Useless when he doesn't win the ball.

Quote
33. Lewis Young
23 disposals (95 per cent efficiency), 16 marks

It was a strong performance from Lewis, really strong aerially. He helped us get a lot of forward-half turnovers with really strong positioning, while he was really strong overhead and has had much-improved ball use by foot.
Translation: Had a rare game where he didn't make his regular stupid turnovers.

Quote
36. Cooper Lord
22 disposals, seven marks, one goal

Coop played predominantly in the middle while also spending a little bit of time up forward. He was hard and tough at the contest, his defensive pressure in terms of his tackling was a feature.
Translation: Can't kick.

Quote
40. Hudson O’Keeffe
Eight disposals, 10 hitouts, one goal

It was a strong performance in the ruck and up forward. He competed hard in the air to get the ball to ground, his follow-up to pressure the opposition and tackle was a real feature of his game. His third-quarter effort [to set up Jack Sammartino’s goal] showed his want to get after the opposition, it was as good as I’ve seen from ‘Huddo’.
Translation: Tries hard, but still can't mark and gives us nothing....but did 1 good thing for the day.

Quote
46. Matthew Cottrell
17 disposals, five marks, five inside 50s

‘Cotts’ played wing and inside mid. We loved his run to support our defence and start our ball movement up from our back half. We know he’s an elite runner which supports the way we want to play, and he played a really selfless role, holding his shape on the ground to help our midfielders. We like him around centre bounce with his power and speed, we might see more of that as time goes on.
Translation: Great work ethic. Can't kick.

I agree with townsendcalling around moving Kemp into the backline. His kicking for goal reached a new level on Friday, and not in a good way. Think this will completely shatter his confidence, so swing him back for a bit to hopefully get some back. I'd probably drop Wilson, unfortunately. Very disappointed in his game. Same with Saad. Shouldn't have been picked in the first place.
Give Ison OR Moir a run as I don't think we can afford to play both.

LSD microdosing is rampant in some business sectors, mostly IT(Programming / Coding) and Market Traders, the stereotype exists for a reason.

If the current research is accurate, low dose LSD has some serious benefits treating depression and anxiety. The main problem seems to be the effective dose varies widely from person to person, it's not so easy to administer given widely varying tolerances to the effects.

If it can get sufficient funding for the R&D, I'm sure they will get it to a point of being commercial.

The other thing I'd like to see is use of cannabis oils for treatment of insomnia and tinnitus in ageing / elderly patients. There have been some significant studies that show a huge benefit to the quality of living, without the side-effects of some more widely available commercial options. Part of the problem, the companies setup to cheaply make stuff like Panadol Forte and Nurofen / Ibuprofen do not want competition and they have huge political clout.

Some of there kicks are more than clean ball use, they are "Alien" with some of the stuff they do with the footy especially inside 50 (I highlighted one previously that Charlie Cameron did a few weeks ago against Coll)
They obsess over creating goals not kicking them, we are obsessed with kicking goals, some of our F50 are still beginners, it makes a huge difference, I think that is why we have a rushed low percentage hack and they widen the view and pass it backwards to someone on a better angle.

As an aside, K, did you know -- probably do-- that most of the great discoveries and inventions of human existence were made by bipolar, high functioning autistic/aspergers, depressive folks... and so on? Neurodivergent if you like. Then, of course, you have many great artists (music, painting, sculpture etc.) who created some of their best works whilst on psychedelics! Seems neuro-normals are just destined to be consumers  ;D

I had a bit of a 'eureka' moment a decade or 2 ago when these diagnoses were becoming more common place.
I was talking to someone about it and i said that to me, it appears to be a potential next step in the evolution of humans, rather than something that needs to be 'cured'. As you say, plenty of extraordinary things have come out of it, and continue to.

I'm not sure if its ever been suggested scientifically - it might be well established - who knows.

My wife has gone back to school to study Psychology as she has an interest in it, specifically from her own, and our sons diagnosis in the last 5 years or so. Plenty of friends are in a similar boat. Wife keeps trying to diagnose me as well
