The Mitch Clark Thread

Featured Replies

Spoke to a Saints supporter today who is a huge wrap for Walsh.

Look at your avatar Redleg.

It shows a horse bolting and that's what's happened with Tommy Walsh while we were having our tilt for Clark.

The horse bolted.

Sydney have come in with a big offer for Tommy with a strong endorsement from Tadgh.

The Saints are still fighting to convince him to stay.

We're a long, long, long way behind ...

$$$ can still talk if he is worth it....

How can we have offered Clark more than we offered.....Clark ?? :wacko:

What are you talking about. I used him as an example of someone we offered more to but he chose another club over us.

I am fairly confident that is incorrect with this guy WYL

Not to mention our Irish connection as the first club to try it and the fact of not having to leave his "Melbourne" home and mates here.

more to than whom ? It looked like you were comparing what we attempted with Clark ..to the same attempt. Maybe it read ambigously .

I'm horrified that we couldn't use cash to persuade someone to uproot his family and leave his desire of living and playing at home. I mean, how could anyone resist cash...oh wait...maybe he is an adult with his own soul and brain...

You look to be right, but Footy can be a very fickle game....Mitch Clark may regret our solid offer.....

No need for the sarcasm Tim D. I think everyone on here accepts his desire to go home and that it won out over money. Can't see anyone complaining.

Than Freo.

ahh

I meant Kurt Tippett..

What of him.

Will somebody take this pick 12 and a compo for someone good for gods sake!


This years draft is thin and there seems to be 8 to 10 that are ok and after that it is ordinary, it depends on club needs who falls outside the top players and who will be there at 12 but I have a feeling that we will be saying meh when our selection is read out. I hope not but it may be the case.

You sound like an expert but you dont know what you are talking about. Docherty, Ellis, Crisp and Clay Smith will all be still there past pick 10.

Greene will take 12 this year and a top line mid will take the compo pick next year, never fear it's all under control.

So which of those do you think will turn out to be top line players?

It was never more than an outside chance from the start and good on them for trying. As we've seen with Judd, Scully and now Clark, you need months if not years to set up the major coups.

So true - that is why we should have worked with Fevola earlier.

We all knew he wanted to go to Perth for family reasons so its no great shock.

Get FEV he will be cheap and we can stick him in the goal square and will take the best defender.

Also to protect ourselves put clauses in his contract to the point where that if he farts innappropriately he is gone.


So which of those do you think will turn out to be top line players?

Personally I think pick 12 could get us a good player. Not a superstar, but a best 22 player. I'm thinking a Jones or Zaharakis type.

Docherty should be there at our pick and I would be happy with him. Greene might still be there. And if he is not then another quality player will slide.

I have no qualms trading pick 12 away. doubt it will happen now though.

If tess had taken the time to read what I said, I said I have a "feeling" that we won't get a top player and that's a distinct possibility. There are some reasonable players outside the top 8 to 10 but I don't think that there will be any superstars there. If we get Greene I'll be rapt if we get a good quality player then that would be great, but we need, as someone said earlier, stars not foot soldiers.

Just as a matter of interest we have picked up the following with pick 12

Jones, Frawley and Cook so this is the fourth time we've had it since 2005.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
