"In a dramatic twist, mitch clark has been announced as paul roos's successor"

[jabberwocky 2,301]

GNF has great sources but his sources may not be fully informed of Mitch's intentions - Mitch or his agent are not his sources...

I can see the darkness coming but I won't react until it comes and a few hours later the sun will come up and we will move on again.

Never a more resilient club was born on this green earth.

Would be nice to get a few things going for us however...

If he did meet with Paul Roos today things may have changed.

"You will return and play for the Melbourne Football Club" he says as he gives a Jedi wave.

Many interns hitting refresh out there?

Guess I must be the only one who is skeptical when someone says "I talked to my guy at the club and...." in an anonymous setting. I've only read it on Demonland a thousand times before. Maybe if I knew who his contacts were and, indeed, who he was.

I've no doubt GNF does know someone at the club (I don't think he's making it all up), but I simply cannot, ever, count on a poster I don't know as delivering 100% gospel. He deals in rumours, not facts, in my eyes. And I still question his motives.

Carry on.

As a semi retired poster, I sure as hell aren't coming here for the drivel that fills every thread.

Would go as far to say in 80 pages his posts are the only ones worth reading.

"Clinical depression" is a BS term for lay people. It is never used by professionals. According to Graeme Burrows, a Professor of Psychiatry, there are two types of depression: melancholia or what was previously described as endogenous depression, and reactive depression. The former responds to antidepressants and ECT. The latter does not. Reactive depression may respond to counselling. It is in reaction to a situation or situations.

I'll wait for the official word before jumping in, but I'm hoping it's not another kick in the nuts.

It seems like this clubs lot in life: 'So you thought something good was going to happen? Here, have another kick in the nuts. That will teach you to hope'

Just remember though, the last time we got a nut-kick was with Scully, but it actually turned out pretty well for us when the dust settled

If, as some are pondering, we can turn this into a top 5 draft pick then we win

Would like to point out at this stage that I never said I didn't enjoy reading said posts.

No 'Nasher' you are not the only one and I have trouble when people treat what he says as gospel. Reminds me a bit of a players brother story.

If Mitch feels that a new start within Victoria for a club other than the MFC is beneficial, I feel sorry for him.

It's like everything, I've heard it before with other people and I'm sure a few of you have heard similar, "I need to get away" "I need a fresh start" "I'll move to the country", those people that do that will feel great for a week or two or a month but shortly after the same thoughts and the same problems will reoccur and come back and there they are again.

If he want's to play AFL there is only one place that will give him full support from an internal and external perspective and that's the MFC (saying that with bias aside and from a logical perspective).

The backlash for moving will be horrendous, he will cause himself more harm than good and I doubt he will have the support network he created here.

I really hope he remains a Dee, for all our sakes, I would hate to see him leave I would feel it as a greater kick in the guts than the $cully fiasco and consequently I would hate to see the abuse he would cop - particularly if he relapsed.

Not sure if mentioned but he changed his twitter name lately, dropping off the number 11:(

You say you had depression; that does not make you an authority on the subject. Depression takes many shapes and forms and has absolutely NOTHING to do with wealth, social status or whatever, It is, in technological terms, platform agnostic. Would you say the same about Robin Williams? Perhaps he took his own life as an attention seeking device... I mean to say, he had it all didn't he? So by your analysis, he must be a fraud. Get real!

Acute case of poster envy.

He wants to play finals footy. He can't achieve that at the Dees.

... and have you noticed that since GNF's post, there has been much more of this sort of sensible trying-to-come-to-terms-with-things and much less of the wild speculative drivel from before?

Surely you & Nasher & rjay aren't suggesting that it was wrong of GNF to impede the sewerage flow by posting something approaching information?

And GNF never claims that he has the "truth", he just posts what he's heard, and is careful not to post anything he's heard that he thinks might harm the club.

Must say I'm struggling to understand the "GNF-shouldn't-have-posted" faction.

Supercilious [censored].

He almost puts the blame on Melbourne for Mitch's depression. At least Garry batted for the Club.

In fact the Club offered Mitch assistance with his illness for a long time before he finally acccepted that he did have a problem. MFC has gone out of its way to work with Mitch both with his foot injury and his mental illness.

As another poster has said if the Club does want him to play PR is the man to convince him that the MFC is the place for him to be. If he had a problem with the previous coach/CEO - both are gone and replaced with amazing football/admin brains. Our coaching staff are almost all new. So if he did have a problem with someone last year that problem is almost surely have gone. However, what has worried me for some time was Mitch's comments that he missed the boys and only missed the Club a little bit.

Whatever happens we have people in place who know what they are doing. So if we do lose Mitch there will be a back up plan.

Unfortunately all this media speculation may send Mitch back to the dark place he has just come out of.
