A chance to recognise a different type of courage...



Recommended Posts

What do U know, I had it over it his still quitter, the mind is a powerful thing, mitch should have quit last year we might have got that pp sooner

What the F?

You are very sad angrydemons, you don't understand that Mitch is ill. This is not his fault and he is not in control of his illness at the moment.

Do you have any idea how hard it would be to quit a job paying approx $800k pa with no alternative income in sight?

man still going to be paid next year 10 times more then me

Angry, I invite you to pretend for a moment that Mitch has lung cancer instead of depression. Ask yourself whether your attitude to his predicament would be different. Would you still be reacting in this way?

My guess is that the answer is no... and you would do well to contemplate the reasons why.

N.Jones no champ where did he go in the last qt v gws, did not have one possie, thars where champions stand up when game is to be won.

Could you proof read and use correct punctuation. I have trouble understanding what you are writing about. And when/if I do understand it seems to be mainly angry drivel.

If English is a second language to you I apologise.

You have an amazing ability to make illogical, irrational and ignorant comments totally illegible.

He's not wrong, though.

Consider this.

Mitch Clark makes a claim through Workcover for injuries and illness resulting from his employment at the MFC.

He would be well within his rights to continue to be paid for the term of his contract. Further he could make claims for long term losses to income resulting from those injuries/illness.

Has Mitch Clark done this? NO. He has honorably and in my opinion bravely retired.

What angrydemon is paid is irrelevant and is more to do with his obvious abilities or lack thereof.

Might say more about you than him.

(This is my last response to any more of angrydemons posts on this topic. He's never going to understand the difference between being empathetic and just pathetic.)

Understanding doesn't even come into the equation when you're a troll; in fact it's a hinderance.

That's legitimate. The rest of your posts are crap.

mate, N. Jones has been the only one who has stood up for us the past 4 years.
God forbid, he has one bad quarter! Even your champions of the game don't play well EVERY game of their career, and i would argue that Jonesy is more consistent than some of them!

Don't feed the troll!

Unfortunately calling someone a troll implies that the person putting forward views knows the very insidious nature of the views being espoused but puts them forward knowing they will inflame the debate.

I don't think that this is a case of trolling.

So the alternative is .... stupidity?

Seems likely.

Stupidity, alcohol, ego. The supidity and ego seem evident, I'm presuming the alcohol was a part once the fdsg gfershnk nerrrmaa writing skills crept in.

In support of 'angrydee' - may I suggest that 'angrydemons' have a name change to something more appropriate. Sookydemons? Tantrumdemons? Iusuallygetmywaybyheadbuttingdoorsdemons?

I think Graeme Osborne held the distinction of sitting on the bench for 12798 games in a row.

When he retired he was fresh as a daisy.

I like your quote re Sean Wight.

He was born in Scotland moved to England when he was 10 and trialed for Fulham soccer club.

An all Australian 1987 and hall off fame member and played 150 games for us.

He would have won the golden fist.

Peggy, we won't forget Sean.

Let me preface this by the fact that most of us have no empathy with bonefide mental illness.

I don't know enough from the outside to praise him or otherwise.

In this era of psychobabble, and over-positivity and everyone's-a-winner-under-10, do we have to redefine what "mental toughness" is?

We hear it lauded on guys like Steve Waugh, Joel Selwood etc...

Is 'mental toughness' now a slight on the mentally ill?

As I said before, my view is that Clark will play for Fremantle in latter 2015.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
