It would be truly difficult for Mitch, considering how much he loves his football and also the club. Not being able to play would be depressing and I echo all of our statements in wishing Mitch the best and hoping that he can take all the time he needs to get back to where he wants to be

love him to death.
Thats why i'm shattered he isn't on the park!

I received an email today suggesting that he may not play again and it was from a usually very reliable source, I hope it's wrong.

BTW another part of the rumour was he had altered his running style to accommodate the foot injury and that had lead to soft tissue injuries.

I posted this back in January and it seems as if it was pretty close to the mark.

its a damn shame. I di feel for his predicament.

We all do bb, it would be really good to have him out on the park with Hogan and maybe Dawes; pipe dreams I guess.

Supposedly he's recently done a calf. I don't see how that reflects your earlier comments.

shocking news.

i feel terrible for the big fella.

The word " supposedly" might cover that Hannibal

Yes, that's why i included it.

Obviously.

didn't realise photography could be so bad for soft tissue injuries.....oh well

more obvious id suggest was a leaning towards casting aspersions towards the veracity of Robbie F's post.

I really dont believe a lot of what FDs offer as to reasons for injuries etc. Just saying

It's exactly what the 2nd part of the comments are saying.

He is doing soft tissue injuries because of a change in running style due to the previous foot injury. It may or may not be true but does have a basis in logic.

I was told a Hammy last night, but whether it is a calf or Hammy, it's still a soft tissue injury.

Good luck Mitch we will all be here when u r right to go.

The problem I have with your post and your revival of this thread is you've made 2 seperate rumours

1. He may never play again

2. He's suffering soft tissue injuries due to a chance of running style

The second is what the club has pretty much told us and would mean he's back at some stage be it 4 weeks, 14 weeks or next year

The first is a whole different proposition. That you are right on point 2 is irrelevant to point 1.

A bloke wouldnt step aside ( take a break ) without much gravity weighing upon his position. Hes at crossroads

He had to alter his running style because of the foot injury and that's causing the soft tissue problems; that clearer? If his altered running style continually causes soft tissue problems and they can't sort it out he may be unable to continue. At the moment they don't seem to have an answer.

Can't see what it is you can't understand.

Where has it been mentioned that his running style has changed ?

I'm not saying it hasn't, just that I don't recall hearing it from the club.

That was from an email I received from, as I said, "a usually reliable source". The information was supposed to have come from someone who would know, I can't say any more.

Once again, I also said I hope it's not correct, but the way things have panned out it seems plausible.

This club is cursed.

Need you out there .

I think it speaks volumes for his leadership within the club that, even after all the injuries and the amount of football he has missed, that he is still voted in by the players and coaches to be a part of the leadership group.

Got everything crossed he can get over the bumps in the road and once again become a key cog in our push to be a better club on the field.

Good thread. Echo all the above thoughts

If AFL was game of Thrones Mitch would be Theon Greyjoy.

someone might like to link this thread to him on twitter.
i know for a fact (as i personally know some players from the past and present) that the players are encouraged not to look at this website or other fan forums but this is full of honest praise for the big guy and hopefully lets him know that we are all still behind him!
