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.
 

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.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
