Mitch Clark


Arrow

Recommended Posts

Clark's game yesterday was a fantastic tribute to his desire to perform at the level his enormous salary demands. Geelong supporters near me at the game yesterday started the game deriding him yelling" is that worth 3.2 million?" etc.

Soon they had to shut up. ( apart from booing as he ran in to kick for goal after that sensational mark running back with the flight).

If he had been playing for Geelong and marked the way he did for us, he'd have kicked a dozen goals.

I was absolutely filled with admiration for his efforts yesterday, and proudly clapped his efforts amongst the silence.

With Clark the crash and bash forward making space it may be an opportunity for Watts to fill the space provide another skill option

Really can see the two working well together within the forward line

Perhaps those derided selectors and coaches have got it right??

I am re-quoting this because never has there been a truer word said. Col Sylvia could learn a thing or two from this guy.

He hasn't just said thanks for the money he is earning every cent.

Um I'm pretty sure he'd be on similar coin to Buddy/Pavlich. Let's not go overboard.

Has been decent so far.

For the record, does anybody actually know the exact figure of Mitch Clark's salary. As a player his value isnt the 700K or near figures that are bandied about, but his value to OUR team given his KPF status and the low salary cap we pay etc is worth the 700K at this time.

One of the few things weve done right in a long time. Absolute star, pretty much the only thing making us watchable right now

Apparently........according to the great one Leigh "Lethal" Matthews, Brisbane will get more service out of Ben Hudson than Melbourne will of Mitch Clark....

Someone's lost their marbles.

Lethal basically admitted last night that Clark had done mkuch more than he would have expected and been good as a forward. Mitch Clark is the only reason I go at the moment!

Not sure why Mitch Clark cops such hate in the media, if anything I thought I had underated him as with the rest of the AFL world. Him Frawley and Jones are probably hte only players atm that beat their oppanent or at least break even. THey seem to hav ea great williness to win - hopefully they can spread this to the rest of the players.....eventually....before it is too late....

Loving Mitch, and what he has brought to the Club and most importantly, to the team in 2012. Obviously trained/trains hard, puts in 100% every week, and obviously has leadership qualities.

However...

Is this credit to Mitch for setting those personal standards when starting with a new team, or is this all he knows from his time spent with the Lions? The level of professionalism shown by Mitch has been second to none, but is this just a sign of what life is like at other AFL Clubs, especially where you have played with and under the likes of J Brown, S Black, L Power, M Voss, etc.

Just throwing it out their for discussion, and by no means am I saying/meaning anything other than positive words/thoughts toward Mitch.

There's plenty of examples in recent history of very talented players who were immersed in great culture that still failed to come on because of their own brains - Nick Davis at Sydney, Travis at Brisbane and so on. If Mitch is super professional then it's because he wants to be. Being at Brisbane around those guys might've helped, but fundamentally it's got to already be in his mind for it to work.

This bloke has been everything I hoped he would be, and more.

The one thing I wish he wasn't is a decent back up ruck...

I hate to see him in there and if would like to see a Jamar/Martin or Martin/Gawn or Martin/Spencer combo used in the future.

So do I, but given Sellar was given the flick this week and no second ruck came in, we're going to hate parts of the Essendon match.

Come to think of it, actually, I expect we're going to hate most of the Essendon match!

It's a shame we don't have a fit Martin this week...he was awesome against Essendon last year.

I'm not to pessimistic about this game .We beat them last year and they have been training hard all year .Our half back line should give Clark a few shots

and maybe Tappy and Joel Mac can keep it in our forward line for a long time . Sylvia might pull his finger out now that his career is on the line.Watts will star.Demons by 3 points! (I'm that confident).

Prophetic!

Wrong backmen suggested to be moved forward, but bloody close!

Then again, who would've thought Frawley would be out with injury and we'd still move Garland out of the backline?

Inspired.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
