Not casting anything, just a fact. There are other reasons potentially as well

Key Reasons Young Men Get Aneurysms

  • Genetic Predisposition: Some individuals are born with, or inherit, conditions that cause weak blood vessel walls, such as Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or Loeys-Dietz syndrome.
  • Family History: A family history of aneurysms significantly increases risk, often leading to them occurring at a younger age.
  • Lifestyle Factors: High stress, smoking, and the use of hard drugs (especially cocaine or amphetamines) can cause high blood pressure and directly weaken artery walls, increasing risk.
  • Trauma: A severe head injury can cause a traumatic brain aneurysm in younger individuals.
  • Infection: Although rare, infections can lead to mycotic aneurysms.

An old acquaintance of mine had a massive aneurism last week and his wife called me crying that he would unlikely live through it. He’s in his mid / late 50’s and had several people in his fammily die from the same issue - hence the genetic predisposition.

Strictly speaking an aneurysm does not kill a person. However if that aneurysm is in a major blood vessel and it bursts, it most likely will kill them.

Have they folded yet? No way a 19 team comp will be sustainable.

Haven’t they won a flag yet? I would’ve thought super coach Klakko would have led them to one by now.

Flog.

North fans would be shattered. LDU will be next.

That’s a real shame

I’ve never understood the North rivalry. I don’t care enough about their club to let them bother me.

There is no rivalry, they’re an irrelevant club that have created this so called “rivalry” as they have no real rivals

It’s the most one-sided rivalry in professional sports.

They loathe us more than anyone else, we barely acknowledge they exist.
