FFS...

Why is it so hard for some people to get their head around?!

Some people with depression don't understand why they have it..work that out.
 

Remember Schwartz went through three knee re constructions.......showed amazing resiliance.

Right... Point being?

Your post is symptomatic of not understanding depression in even a small way.

It is an illness, it is not a lack of resilience.

oh please dr jvf :wacko: sometimes it's best to keep your mouth..........(you know the rest)

thats poor daisycutter.

I know that.

Very few people with depression "understand why they have it."

Some people with depression don't understand depression, a lack of resilience can be a contributing factor.

Great. Thanks for your pearls of wisdom.

Are you just being a troll?

Your avatar would suggest as much.

Great to see Mitch Clark continues to support for the boys and I love reading his enthusiastic tweets. It is heartbreaking that he is not playing but comforting that he has the club in his heart and he remains one of us.

Can u post his tweets pls?
 

If Mitch was still playing we would be 5 wins I reckon.


I just hope these wins are sending positive vibes through Mitch's grey matter.... and his foot. Who knows we might see a minor miracle yet.

Get around to his place boys and share the man love!! :wub:

Gee imagine Clark back in the side along with Hogan.. We really need Hogan back out there, I feel Dawes will be spent being the number one key target week in week out. He just seems to get double teamed each week now and finding it hard to take a grab.

I have so much respect for Mitch Clark.

Unfortunately, depression these days is still viewed wrongly as some kind of a personal failing and not a medical condition. Some blokes just shut up shop rather than seek help until it overwhelms them. For Mitch to admit he has a problem, open himself up to the world and to give up footy to get himself right takes huge courage.
I love the fact that he still loves the club and is cheering us on from the sidelines.
I am proud that we, as a club and at least from the outside looking in, handled this situation as well as we could. No more throwing people under the bus. The player's interests were put first and foremost. No more crap about being 'ruthless' and treating people like a slab of beef.

Really missing seeing the big 11 run around for the Dees

Hope all is going well Mitch - You'll always be a loved Demon as well


Would be great to see him in the stands watching a game one of these days.

does anyone think theres any chance at all he may have a change of heart one day and come back and play footy with us

Nope I think he is finally at a happy head space now.

Considering he played more games for the Lions then us. Wish he was out there, I miss his pack crash.

I would say change of head space/improvement in health... etc rather than change of heart, but yes, the irrationally optimistic part of me has let the possibility enter my head.

This post by Mitch on twitter just contributes to the (most likely misguided) optimism...

6am start at the gym. Time to get fit again. Thank you to everyone who has wrote to me. I can't thank you all enough

As does Nathan Jones on Talking Footy last night being asked about that very tweet saying that the club would love to have him back playing.

Would be absolutely stoked if he came back and played again!

Could Mitch Clark make a comeback, and play for the dees again in 2015 ?

His twitter feed, apart from showing he still has love for MFC, is indicating he is making a return to the gym... could this be the first step on the journey to the biggest comeback in AFL history ??

Could mean fit enough to walk properly.

They asked Jones about this on Talking Footy, Jones was pretty guarded about it but couldn't hide his hope that he could return. I got the feeling that it was more to do with his hope that he's on the road to recovery.

It's all about Mitch getting better, if he feels up for a return then I hope he considers us first.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
