It's also been said that the Dees being successful in luring Clark to the club has made Jim ecstatic. This can only be a good thing and shouldn't be underestimated, because a little joy for Jim at this current time, means a very big deal to everyone that loves the MFC.

    I don't think he will kick a heap of goals and be the messiah for the club, but he will form an important part of the game plan and structures for the side. Makes a huge difference having a 200cm 100kg+ person in the forward line, and this will show next year.

    Possibly the most excited I've been in my entire life.

    Neeld, then Misson, Sylvia then re-signed, then Craig!, Rawlings, Leigh Brown, then Green re-signed, and now MITCH CLARK! - a certainty to head to Freo, yet we managed to land him with only pick 12. Even Brock McLean attracted pick 11. I hope they target Caddy for next year.

    The momentum we're building is simply outrageous. My sights are now firmly set on the 8 next year - I, for one, will be very disappointed with anything less.

    Good onya Cameron, Tim H, Jimmy, Don McL and others. Top, top work.

    Just been analysing the merits of getting Clark and looking at the value he presents. I have no doubts we have paid overs for him but would have had to pay plenty more if indeed we had of gained Brown a couple of years ago for a million a year per our then CEO- Paul McNamee.and Brown can't stay on the park due to consistant injuries.. Any other elite players we would have had to pay a lot more for.As Mike Sheahan said today- he is a gamble but worth it. Pick 12 in this draft was worthwhile but again it is up to Clark to prove his worth. We have given him a great opportunity. It is up to him now.A four year contract is really what we required. It is your birthday tomorrow -Mitch ,I just hope you give us a happy return for our investment. Go to it- Wonder boy.

    Can't wait to see Mitch-the-[censored] straighten up the forward line. All of a sudden the forward line has good structure. Bring it on.

    On the trade itself, quite interesting to get the Brisbane summary.. http://www.lions.com...57/default.aspx (scroll down a little to: 'The Mitch Clark trade')

    Great get, Trident.

    Fascinating stuff. Freo were deserate to land him as they kept falling over and offering more to Brisbane and obviously the Lions were not happy that Freo were trying to stiff them from the beginning.

    Never say 'Check, mate' Freo.

    Because you don't know who you're playing with...

    Just had a quick geeze at the freofanatics site and they are not happy.

    This from one poster after EQ tweeted that the Dorkers had not made any friends during trade week.

    "Emma Quayle is an egg, Clarke is an egg and the Melbourne footy club are scrambled eggs.

    Would have been happy to get him but not on his inflated salary and not with our priority picks.

    Im glad its over...

    Im also glad conoly and shwab are stuffing up Melbournes future and not ours."

    Really looking forward to Mitch kicking a bag against these clowns next year.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
