    Gotta love the way he's gone about it. Rather than feel sorry for himself he's taken up the fight. Well played young man.

    Oh, and if you do ever start feeling down, I have the remedy ;)

    If anything,  trying to be too 'tough',  causes mental health illness.  see 'farmers'... and failed 'Japanese business men',  in disgrace.    Instead of simply surrendering to the stress,  and say OK, you've got me...  I'll have to speak with someone for help.

     

    Surrender is the best health policy. Re mental illnesses.  going it alone is detrimental.

    I say this without meaning to sound flippant but that goal by Mitch did a lot for my mental health. I have watched it probably 30 times since and I always feel happy. 
    I think that’s why I have always been a passionate supporter. Watching football is such a wonderful distraction from some of the seriousness of life

    Strong is the show strength. To speak up. Strength to battle on. Not succumb to your mental demons.

    It doesn't take strength to battle on.   It takes persistence and desire.

    Strength has zero to do with it.

     

    In fact,  using  'strength'  as the terminology,  is detrimental,  Re depression/anxiety. 

    Strength is such an ambiguous word,  that so many people have differing perceptions of meaning...    Is it  'weak',  that someone has been burdened with depression???    I don't think so, And I sincerely hope people out there do not think they MUST be  'weak',  to find they are depressed.

     

    Saying,  "be strong",  imply's the alternative is to be 'WEAK'.   People with Depression/Anxiety are highly likely to be in a deep negative mental framework.  And will likely take the opposing perception of the Saying__

    You don't  "fight"  mental illness.   You work with it,  go with the flow,  dealing with it.  Easing the strain.

    Going  "against the stream",  and doing that alone,  is a major cause of stress, and emotional fatigue, and great unhappiness. 

    Stress,  a great contributor towards 'Depression'.

    I spoke to him at training during the 2018/19 pre season and told him no matter what happens in his career he'll always have this. I said many great players waited a whole career to play in a final and didn't even have a memory like this. He burst into the biggest grin and said thanks mate.   I spoke to him again in Feb at Maroochydore when they were heading back. He was about to order something and I said I'd leave him in peace and he said no worries mate just let me order and I'm happy to have a chat. Couldn't have been nicer. Special guy. Really hope his career takes off again. He has plenty to offer on and off field.  We could all be queuing up for some mental health tips in a month or two of isolation. 

    I've just got through 3 months of self isolating with recovery from an Op so unfortunately already have experience. Can 't believe I'm about to go through it for the second time in six months. There are worse things to deal with. Demonland's going to take a hammering.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
