    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 ;)

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
