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.

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
