GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Apparently the other side of depression is an hour drive away.

sadly poetic.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,168]

I normally try to fly over for one game a year. Next season if we play the Cats at the MCG that will be the game. I hope Dunn plays on him and gives him hell.

I have many emotions in regards to his defection, none are positive. Simply, he's used depression as an out. I wish him no success.

Tommy Mac will smash him!

Normally I wouldn't begrudge a player leaving the club for greener pastures, but what Clark did was unforgivable.

I look forward to his 'comeback' being a spectacular failure. Nobody will be laughing harder than me!

Insulting to dogs.

I believe wishing someone ill will is bad Karma. Looks like I'll be spending my next life as a flea on a monkeys arse.

Bite Mitch while you're down there!

If Mitch Clark Was a desent person he would have asked be let out of his last year of his contract and traded just like Griffin & Boyd. I don't believe his depression was as bad as he made out. Because of this we didn't get what he was really worth . Yes he is a risk due to his foot but now he also a risk due to his supposed depression he makes me sick he didn't care for us it was all a cover up

Depression isn't cured in 4 months. He came to Melbourne for money and he's left Melbourne for the same reason.

The worst bit about players like mitch and scully leaving a horrible taste in the mouth of the supporters is that our players are always so friendly towards them when we play them.

If that was my local footy club people would run through him all day and tell him why. Every contest people would make sure he got smashed. Hed be begging to come off.

But our blokes will shake his hand and give him a cuddle

THIS.

Lyndenn Dunn defending him on our Facebook was symbolic of how soft we are as a footy club. We will continue to be walked over while our players congratulate their teammates for joining other footy clubs. Don't they understand how ridiculous they look?

Im still struggling to believe that a change of 'workplace' was such a key driver in him regaining his alleged mental health.

I would've thought the mates he had at the footy club (the same ones he's appeared so happily in so many photos) would be the best source of help, knowing the situation better than the Geelong FC and its players.

It just stinks and if he tears it up at the Cats next year I will dislike him so much more.

[Undeeterred 3,127]

Oh, Mitch, can you feel the love?

[Deetective Sgt. Taggert 389]

Yeah it sucks he's gone but we were always lucky to have poached him to begin with, and given how little output we got from him over the last season and a half, I don't think his absence is going to be glaringly obvious come round 1. It's time to move on folks.

If Mitch Clark's depression was so bad as he said it was he shouldn't be playing in the AFL until 2016. If he does play it should be only in WA or QLD as he has Family most of his family is in WA and he has a kid with a previous relationship in QLD. It looks like when things get tough he chooses the easy option and wants out. At Brisbane he had a few injuries and he wanted out now with us he had foot injuries and he wants out he could have at least be honest and tell us he wants out instead of making up this BS.

For mine I am just happy that another human being who has suffered depression has got out the other side after seeking professional help and is well enough to resume their job.

Footballers are actually human beings. I think we sometimes forget that.

Good luck Mitch.

This happens all the time. The goddamn problem is episodic. It goes away. 20% of the time it goes away without treatment. While depression is a problem, let's not overstate it. It isn't schizophrenia FFS.

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

I wish we could have recruited Daniel Merrett just to play on Clarke and Frawley next season.

[Coq au vin 755]

Interesting that all those who defended Clark when I saw through him earlier in the year are now allowed to rubbish him.

So many rednecks in this thread now.

Should be closed, it's a disgrace to Demonland to read some of these posts.

Grow up.

Maybe the players saw the dark days he had. I mean they were the ones that were around him every day. Look im not thrilled with the way Mitch left but I know about depression and seeing close ones go through it. It isnt great. You dont just get over it in a few months. But I will now unfollow him on twitter and also chip as well and will move on and look forward to next year. At least we still have 2 tall forwards to kick the ball to.

Did a spectacular job breaking Pederson's nose. Wouldn't mind seeing him in our colours.
