GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

[The Reverend 1,736]

Such bitterness is unbecoming. Where is our compassion and empathy? They come they go...what's new?

We need to invest our emotions in those that remain and do our bit to help build some positivity about the future.

If sarcasm, I applaud you.

If not, wind back the piety and let us vent in peace.

I have nil respect for Mitch Clark so it better I say no more on this subject.

It's difficult to say "sarcasm" with one's tongue in one's cheek. Even harder to convey it in text sometimes.

Let's just say I'm bitterly disappointed in the way it's all worked out. I thought he was better than that. It makes me want to have the No. 11 retired so that it can never be trashed again. Having said that, we do need to move on and let our actions on the field do our talking.

He may never play another game, and we get La bumba who rarely misses a game.

Bye Mitch. Every time I see a monkeys arse I'll think of you.

I was thinking last night how good it would sound to have the entire MFC crowd singing "La la la Lamumba" everytime he goes near the ball.

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

He's getting paid less now.

But don't let the truth get in the way of a good old fashioned lynch mob.

I wince every time this thread pops to the top of the board but Melbourne were expecting him to play in 2015 after his recuperation and made him an offer. Are you saying that Mitch went to the Cats for less than what we offered?

That he did.

I am working on the premise that Mitch was genuinely ill so I will get that out of the way first. I think there is nothing more insulting or devastating than telling someone they are/were 'faking' depression.
I am not his doctor but I am concerned about this decision. This seems to be going ahead all too quickly. I hope Mitch isn't setting himself up for a fall and I hope this isn't entirely management driven as that would be irresponsible in the extreme.
With depression, you do need to work yourself back into the swing of things. Some people have this image of depressed people recovering as though they have a cold i.e. plenty of bed rest and isolation from society. This is a ridiculous belief as isolation and indolence flare it up more than the occasional trip to the footy or pub. That being said, you don't want to push yourself too bloody hard as it can set you back worse. Going back into a high pressure environment is a pretty big risk to take compared to the occasional training session or photography shoot down by the beach.
That being said, maybe Geelong is the place Mitch can do this. It worked for Gary Ablett senior for most of his playing career (tragically however, not after his playing career). The lifestyle is amazingly laid back there. It's not for me as I like a bit of hustle and bustle but if you wanted a chilled out city without the stress of Melbourne, Geelong would be the place to be.

Bye Mitch. Every time I see a monkeys arse I'll think of you.

Not a monkies arse but one of those red baboon arses.

That resembles MC much better!

Interesting. I guess I know what I'll be calling over the fence to him then.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

i'm all for heckling and ridiculing Mitch on using/abusing the MFC's support/guidance of him, but posters who are suggesting he has faked depression disgust me.

[Whispering_Jack 30,019]

Me too ... and we're done with Clark for now.

Thanks
