Mitch Clark - Red & Blue

Featured Replies

 

Thanks Indeed.

Great in depth read.

Gotta love the big guy and what he brings to the MFC on and off the field.

Give em hell Mitch!

 

What a friggin legend. With Chip and Jones, my favourite players. Just love his ruthlessness, loyalty and professionalism.

I have said this a few times Mitch should be our Captain NOW

Nah jim I can't agree he should be our Prime minister!

The quotes from Rawlings confirm how I've viewed Clark's departure from Brisbane from day one. He didn't leave for home sickness or for money - the latter just helped him choose his destination. He left because he wanted out of Brisbane, for whatever reason.

I also found his reaction to Jimmy's death pretty moving.

Anyway, like most have said in here I love the guy. Has leadership, is tough and can actually play; we've had far too few players with all three traits in recent years. He's currently the closest thing we've got to a genuine star.

Geez I love this bloke! When I first heard that we were after him, I was absolutely thrilled, after seeing the game he had in rd 1 last year against Freo. And then thinking he was lost, I wasn't really surprised, but devastated. And then, all of a sudden, we got him and I was ecstatic. And the best thing in all of it is what a gem he has proved to be so far. I wouldn't quite call him for captain, as I believe Nate Jones should have his hard work and loyalty rewarded with the role, but he's a close second for me. Look forward to watching him play out that career, and help us to a flag or two ;)

Are you serious? You have to earn that over many years. Scully had some powderpuff pieces in the media about loyalty in the last 24 months too.

Mitch copped a lot of flak for "going for the money". I don't really think this is the case, but if it is - than good on him. If Freo were offering considerably less than he made the right choice. The fact is Mitch Clark is providing value for money, if he was getting less IMO he'd be underpaid. Why do AFL supporters feel there is something ignoble in players seeking maximum value for their utility?

Make him King -he's earned it.

Simillar article in the sunday comic, but these are better pics,

Love his attack on the ball and his confidence,

His loyalty well he is putting in ! maybe for the pay cheque

maybe for just loyalty to Team mates and his own private thoughts,

But in this year definitely worth going to watch !

Don't suppose he can land on $cumbag but ...

Go hard Dees, need to do that to Stuff Sheedy's lot.

Go DEES give 'em HELL !!!

Further thought I cannot see this game as a "walk in the park"

definitely one we might not win unless we go very hard !

" ... and I'm Melbourne now. I will be with Melbourne for the rest of my career. I'm loving every minute of it."

He is family to me.

Spot-on Nasher. We can build a future around guys like Clark (and Jones), but based on what we've seen so far in 2012, there are very few others. With a decent mid-field, and a solid crumbing forward to feed off the contests that Clark creates, I really think he can become a genuine star.

The quotes from Rawlings confirm how I've viewed Clark's departure from Brisbane from day one. He didn't leave for home sickness or for money - the latter just helped him choose his destination. He left because he wanted out of Brisbane, for whatever reason.

I'd like to think this was the case, but if so, you could also say the same thing for Scully. A little biased I think. Love Clark though. Don't care if he came for money. He plays for the jumper and that's all that matters.

Uh, not really Adam.

FWIW I don't really care whether he came for the money or not either. It just so happens that I don't think it's why he left Brisbane - I do think that's why he chose us as the destination though and that's fine with me.

The other (great) thing is that he saw no route to Freo, because they weren't prepared to pay Brisbane's asking price picks wise and tried to low-ball them, and he wouldn't make it through the draft. We put a fair offer to him on the table and a fair trade offer to Brisbane, they took it in an instant. I was pretty proud of the club that day - we got what we wanted through a swift and fair deal, and managed to leave Freo looking completely and utterly stupid in the process. Gold.

Totally agree Nash, he's a breath of fresh Air. I love his aggressive leadership. Just what we need.


Imagine how much better Freo would be with Clark running around. A shame.

Is there some sort of award for being the greatest man on earth?

Very glad my dark thoughts went up in smoke during second quarter,

I've got no voice but pleased Go Dees !!!

 

I [censored] love Mitch Clark.

And for some sick reason I love him more when he tries to kill himself every week.

He is god.

On 3AW they were going on about Melbourne supporters going overbaord with the booing and Matthew Richardson said that we did seem to have a problem Mitch Clarke accepting the money. I think it seems lost on all the media that it wasn't the money issue with $cully it was how he did it and the lies he told. Mitch was leaving Brisbane and it was our good luck that he chose us. There lies the difference and aren't we all glad. Mitch played a better quarter and a bit than the unmentionable played the whole game.

  • 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.
