Leadership and the sledge


McGuire: In fact I reckon we should start the campaign for a one-person slide next year. Caroline Wilson. And I'll put in 10 grand straight away - make it 20. [laughter] And if she stays under, 50. [louder laughter]
What do you reckon guys? Who else is up there? I know you're in JB?

James Brayshaw: No, yep, Straight in.

Danny Frawley: I'll be in amongst it Ed.

McGuire: Is Duck there?

Wayne Carey: Yes, I'm here mate.
[and later]
Frawley: I'll actually jump in and make sure she doesn't — I'll hold her under, Ed.

McGuire: I reckon we could charge 10,000 for everyone to stand around the outside and bomb her.

Damien Barrett: I'm on Caro's side now, Ed. I'm on Caro's side these days, Ed. [indecipherable]

McGuire: She'll burn you like everyone else, mate. She's like the black widow. She just sucks you in and gets you and you start talking to her and then bang! She gets you.
And then McGuire ends: "It'll be magnificent. I think we should do that next year. It's all good for footy."




Leaders lead
Without doubt great leaders seize the opportunity within the time and the place
Leaders recognise the situation
Leaders recognise the endeavour

I grew up loving Australian rules
However never has the media leaders of Aussie rules been so recalcitrant
They fell into a mindset of pack. Circled their prey and pounced.
They engineered a dialogue of repulsive threat
Passive sexism
Passive violence
In a minute this pack diminished both the charity and women
Oh we were only joking.
And they laughed.

It is about time, the sledge was taken out of the game.
It is about time, the mantra of everything is fair game, is harnessed.
It is about time, that - oh I didn't mean to offend is not accepted.
This attack surfaced and demonstrated collective culture.
That needs to be cut out.
This is about systemic values and leadership.
Cut this culture out from where it gains voice and bring in a new voice.

Godin Connectedness

Godin Connectedness  We argued with the vengeance from poorly informed memory. Straight from the loss to blame. For whatever reason it perpetuated justification. Of construeded loss,  from the need to self victimise. To the need of claiming nothing in particular. It was the battle to ingrain and embellish memory. In so, we tore each other apart and to feed individual right. Our eternal want to be known as right. The want for immediate anger to surface, rant and to glorify our past glories of being wronged. And then we rested exhausted.

The Defined Gated Delusion

Image
Gated Delusion The primary purpose of the hall in the gallery is to create a sense of presence in the present moment. It is an empty space that allows visitors to feel as if they have been there but also not been there. The room's design subtly influences the participants' values through external factors. Within each gate, personal gatekeepers appear and tell the participants that their negative thoughts and beliefs are holding them back. The predicament promotes disorderly placement through complex subconscious decision-making. But, the environment ultimately intends to control decisions through subtle and intentional influence. Many at once. A unique and thought-provoking manifestation that aims to create a sense of presence and self-awareness in those who experience its being. A deeper understanding and appreciation of the self is acquired through this purpose-built experience. NFT The translucence beauty of the hall knowingly manipulates and deceives the participants to rea

Gatekeepers of Art

Image
 Consider THIS Gatekeeper Gatekeeper Script  There are many individuals and organizations that can be considered "gatekeepers" in the art world, meaning that they play a role in determining what art is exhibited, promoted, or otherwise made available to the public. These gatekeepers can include curators, gallerists, collectors, critics, and other art industry professionals. Museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions are often considered the primary gatekeepers of the art world, as they have the power to decide which artists and artworks are exhibited and promoted. Curators, who are responsible for selecting and organizing exhibitions, can play a particularly influential role in this process Critics, who write about and evaluate art, can also influence public perceptions and demand for certain artists and artworks. As an independent artist, it is essential to recognize and consider the influence of these gatekeepers Botticelli Gatekeepers Botticelli Gatekeepers script

Q Agony Gate

  YouTube Video Created by JJFBbennett  Inspired by Rodin Soundtrack JJFBbennett · Q Agony Gate Poem Through me is the way into the doleful city.  Through me is the way into eternal suffering.  Through me is the way that runs among the lost. There is no objective reality behind this unknowable gate. Feeling broken, wounded, at a loss, disconnected, incomplete and critically aware. Against those who transcend our threshold.

The Branch of Three

Image
  YouTube Video The Branch Collection Story The Branch of Three describes an individual's struggle to move forward and make progress despite facing obstacles and challenges. The imagery of the moon breaking through and the restless breeze wandering between "past hatreds and future promises" suggests a sense of uncertainty and turmoil. In addition, the artwork in the collection describes the "decisions of others who cut me down," indicating the feeling of being held back or hindered by the actions of others. Yet, despite these difficulties, the purpose of creating is to continually push forward and continuously fight through life to be creative, acknowledging that others may have it more challenging. "But I never wanted to march. But I did," suggests a sense of determination and resilience, despite not wanting to be in this position. John Bennett - AKA JJFBbennett is an independent artist.

NFT YouTube Video Poem She is seated before you, a picture of elegance and beauty. Her soft face is so ethereal that it practically floats in the air. Her skin is almost translucent. Her long, curly hair falls in a waterfall of curls down her back. Her facial movement is fluid and effortless as she sits with poise and elegance. She has a tranquil grin that appears to fill the room, and her look is peaceful and calm. She is breathtaking as she forms a golden halo within your darkness.

Q Exits

Image
  Multiple Corridor Exits Two exits. Three pathways. NFT As I walked down the corridor of the motel, I couldn't shake the feeling of being lost and disoriented. The fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting meaningless shadows on the dingy walls. I had been walking for what felt like hours, but every door looked the same, and I couldn't find my room. As I turned a corner, I thought I saw a glimmer of hope. A sign that said "Exit" hung from the ceiling, but as I approached it, I realized it was just a trick of the light. It pointed to multiple other doors, just like all the others. VIDEO -  Multiple Corridor Exits John Bennett - AKA JJFBbennett is an independent artist.
