Thanks Drew Morphett

[Bomber Bears]

I thought Glenn and one of the other WA callers had a massive falling out (corbin middlemass or clint wheeldon), essentially whilst glenn mitchell was in a bad place, and this lead to his resignation/dismissal all at a time whilst he was suicidal. He's since apparently come a long way.

Glenn Mitchell suffered a bad hit of depression and was suicidal at one stage.

thanks. Jeezuz! I vaguely remember him having an 'issue', but I didn't know it was that

Yep, bipolar disorder and depression.

Not quite, I have heard he became incredibly difficult to work with and it was basically put to him that he needed to take time off: http://glennmitchell.com.au/in_the_media/mitchell-opens-about-bipolar-fight/

Sounds like it all came to a head when coming back from a couple of months at the World Cup in India and immediately jumping into footy on his return. In some cases distractions at work can be the best thing for the individual, but seemingly all it did here was increase the stress as he was missing his appointments with the psychiatrist.

wouldn't be surprised if he does a kerry and pop up on another station

Great caller of the game and an icon of ABC cricket as was Kerry. Both will/are be missed, real characters of the game. Thanks fellas!

that'd be good, but I wonder if they can afford him

3AW would be a better option. Imagine the 3AW commentary team being instead of Brian Taylor and Tim Lane, it'll be Lane, Drew Morphett, Matthew Lloyd and Leigh Matthews.
