Mitch Clark vs J. Brown - was there a history?


DEE fence

Recommended Posts

It seems like everyone has been happy with the recruitment of Mitch Clark and he has demonstrated all the skills both hard and soft that we want to see when on the ground and with his team mates.

Which makes me curious, I don't believe the whole 'go back home' story of when he was traded, yet I can't see why he wouldn't have fitted in with blokes like Voss and Brown. Not that I mind I like everyone (i think) has been rapt with him being a Demon.

Was there some resentment between him and Brown over the cheek fracture? Two bulls in a paddock sort of competition that neither could back away from?

Anyone have any idea on this?

Pure speculation - like so many other posts. I know the footy is all over (for us) but jeez!

No problems between the players, genuinely wanted to go home. Source: Patrick Karnezis, 2nd year Brisbane player who I asked after the season if Clark would go to Freo and he said 'for sure!'

brisbane gave us Clark, Joel Mac, and Grimes - cannot thank them enough

And took trapper off our hands.....

Edit - only half in jest... I liked TJ, if only he learnt to apply himself. Hopefully our other #1 pick does as well :)

So the opinion of a second year BL player was relevant? And he didn't go home at all.

Why wouldn't it be relevant? Mitch Clark's family convinced him that more money would be better for the family than returning to WA, so he took the cash.

in the end he and his manager came to the conclusion that Freo and Brisbane were unlikely to agree on a trade. His choices were to stay in Brisbane, risk going to GWS in PSD. Dees ability to satisfy Brisbane with a trade gave him certainty.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
