Please stick with us through the coming challenge. That's what clubs are for, even if we aren't going to be in the same room or at the same ground for a while. We hope you enjoy this edition of The Merc' . Cheers to you all, IF IMAGES DO NOT SHOW AT FIRST, GO TO YOUR MENU BAR, OR SETTINGS, AND CLICK ON "ALLOW IMAGES" OR "SHOW REMOTE IMAGES" OR SIMILAR.I'm With StupidJosh got a text message from Chippa (Liam), who had been self isolating for days. Chippa- "Hey Corbo, you won't believe how this boredom affects some people. Did you know that if you rest your tongue over the end of a stubby and hold it over a naked flame, your tongue will get sucked right in?" Corbo- "Yeah, Chips, I have heard that." Chippa- "You have? Great! Do you know how to get it off? It really hurts!"
But SeriouslyIsolation Blues?We know there is a lot of anxiety and stress going on with fears of the virus and mass job losses as well. We also know that periods of self-isolation can result in mental health challenges. There is the Headspace online help called eHeadspace. Their link is https://headspace.org.au/eheadspace/ as well as the usual headspace page , complete with useful articles for all times. That page is https://headspace.org.au/ . Black dog Institute is fabulous- www.blackdoginstitute.org.au as is Beyond Blue- www.beyondblue.org.au And, of course, Lifeline will take your calls on 13 11 14 And remember we are all here for each other. We'd much rather listen to you talk about your troubles than listen to someone deliver your eulogy. Stay well. MM New SponsorsMelrose FC would like to welcome aboard 3 new sponsors this year. They are APCO (Mate St), Twin Cities Glass and Butcher on Rise (Thurgoona). We look forward to supporting them through the next tricky few months and thank them for their support of us, as with all our much-adored sponsors. WE WANT YOUR STORIESIt's fair to say that, if we are relying on game day information and commentary to provide content, it's gonna be a lean year. In living memory we haven't had a season with no games before and we haven't had so much time on our hands due to a Corona Crisis before. But we are still a club. We still are here for each other. We still have something to belong to and with that belonging comes a responsibility to help each other stay well. So, in the interest of maintaining a healthy and connected club, The Mercury needs your help. I want your stories.
.....and anything else that may be of interest at this unusual time. Send your stories (or pics if you have something interesting) to Send all other requests or inquiries to melrosefcsecretary@gmail.com I may not be able to publish everything but I'll do my best. Coping with stress related to Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)"It can feel stressful and overwhelming during an event like the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and we can all be affected differently. Read about our tips to help manage any changes to daily life as a result of containment measures." eheadspaceDid you know..."eheadspace provides free online support and counselling to young people 12 - 25 and their families and friends. If you’re based in Australia and going through a tough time, eheadspace can help." If you've not read our Mission Statement, now would be a good time. This is what you are a part of.
