Nothing to do with the thread nutbean but doing this always amuses me.

Why is it that we all do this?

We know we are going to disrespect the person so we put those three words first and then do exactly that "disrespect" them.

But then we feel ok because we put in the disclaimer.

I guess by now I should not be surprised at the human condition but I am.

I put that in for a good reason - "With all due respect, I don't want to upset you however, Don't take this wrong way but, No offense but" are phrases I seldom use but when I do see post 896

You can't assume a time frame for a problem you're also assuming, and then say it's a certainty.

the certainty I claim is there is no time frame...thats the point...well missed

many seem to think itll all but clear up in a few weeks. Im saying its highly unlikely.

What we are being told is the sanitized for domestic consumption version of everything

That hes had to step aside should surely point to it being more than just having a bad day or two. Hes has some serious issues, the least of which I would think now is his actual physical fitness. That he cant get it right has caused it seems something far more insidious.

His wellness in this instance wont happen overnight....far from it.

He has to first get his head in the right space, he has to then get his body in the right shape , he then has to get it up to speed ( whilst keeping head in right space ) and then if he makes it this far has to get match fit

hes going home....that in itself speaks to how deep it all runs.

I have been accused of sitting on the fence and happily accept that because if I don't know something I won't make a wild pronouncement either way.

What are you doing on this forum with an attitude like that?! :unsure:

If I recall people hear didn't have the sympathy when Fev broke down maybe someone should reopen that thread?

I think alot of people had sympathy for Fev's overall wellbeing, but not for the fact that he generally behaved like a [censored].

Mitch has been doing all the right things, indicated by him being voted into the LG, but by the sounds of it may have put too much pressure on himself to get right for round 1. Hopefully reducing that pressure and simply focussing on his rehab will help him get right and available to play in the first half of the season.

just for the benefitt of stuie

There is no time frame, DOES NOT mean it will be fixed quickly.. That scenario vanishes the second he has to take a leave of absence or has the gravity of this escaped you ?

No time frame means...it could be a month, could be two could be the season could be .....whatever

but it certainly wont be short term as in days or weeks which is whats really required to get his back playing this season with any effect

How can I determine that...I havent..He has...hes GOING HOME

Incorrect. No time frame means it could be any time. It's a simple concept.

No time frame means there's no time frame.

You can't say "there's no time frame, but it will be ages", it's an oxymoronic sentence.

The whole point is NO ONE knows when he'll be back, least of all you.

I did. I said no one knows. How are you still not getting that?

Well Im telling you someone does...and he wears number 11 and hes heading back home to "think about things"

You dont want to admit the bleeding obvious

Posted (edited)

Just had grimes on sen and he spoke about MC and how hard it is to c a team mate having issues without being able to do much for him.

He said how respectful everyone has been about his situation and also how respectful the media have been to.

Maybe some on here could follow suit.

Look forward to seeing MC back in the red and blue soon.

Do you know Mitch personally? One of his best mates are you? No. You don't. You know NOTHING.

Mitch wouldn't even know how long at this stage, hence having a think about things, so you have no idea, like the rest of us, that's why there's NO TIME FRAME.

Posted

well we do know he is on the lti so there's 8 weeks min

here we go.... good point

may I ask learned self how yo might then extrapolate that out as to when you might expect him to be back on the track ( at least ) ? Just asking as I suspect some reasoned answer form your good self

Also 8 weeks goes exactly to my point that its not a short term fix.

Til he can play. 8 weeks is the LTI list timeframe, it has NOTHING to do with the timing of his situation.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
