I believe Mitch Clark's contract is up at the end of next year. If I'm incorrect please advise me. With that said has anybody else given any thought that he may leave at the end of next season? I'd say to head back to Perth. Pavlich will be gone, can see the Dockers making a move. Any thoughts?

    Maybe we should deal with this years problems first.

    It seems to me Mitch enjoys Melbourne, otherwise is doubt he'd go take so many photos!

    He'll also be pretty settled by then. He also seems to have a real care about the demons and I think he's more loyal than his move to us makes him seem. He just wanted a decent contract to sure up his families future and Brisbane couldn't offer that.

    I'd say if we could get things together on field and offer Mitch a reasonable contract without over paying that he'd be keen to stick around and help get some wins

    He's signed a 4 year deal so he's contracted until the end of 2015. We have much bigger issues!

    Yeah Clarke may leave just like Maloney, or Petard, or even Steph Martin. At least we still have Trengrove and Peterson, along with great staff like Mission.

    We do have bigger issues...but this guy....Is the guy we are to build & Rebuild the rebuild (LOL) the side around.Leader written all over him and leads by example!

    Make no mistake....in my book the best player we have at MFC now. But yes he seems very happy at MFC apart from the frustration of his injury. He will be back. We wont be letting him go easy after chasing him so hard!

    Wouldn't be surprised. And if his runs with injury are still like what they are now, then I'll drive him to the airport.

    We don't need another injury prone coulda-been that hangs onto the club's salary like Lyon used to.

    Yep, what a hack ;)

    You can't prepare for injuries in a contact sport unfortunately its just one of those things that happens and happens to all clubs.

    I think it hits us worse than most due honour lack of depth.

    If you knew that the Pav and Sandi would be out all year who would rate the Dockers this highly? Shows how good they are... And how good we ain't

    Back on topic, I'm not sure if this has received the coverage it should have but I don't think this item achieves what it presumably set out to do - Misson clarifies Clark’s injury status.

    I thought Clark's current injury problems had nothing to do with his 2012 Lisfranc injury other than that he had to have some screws from the operation removed earlier than anticipated. It was my understanding that what caused this injury was otherwise not related. Now I'm not so sure about the nature of the injury or the time Clark's going to miss from the game.

    The season's shot anyway so if he must miss the rest of it, you won't get any complaints from most fans but please - it's time to get frank about Mitch's Lisfranc.

    'Jack', at the time of the injury this year I posted that the language used was ambiguous. It seemed to me something was wrong and badly wrong. Looks to be the case here and Misson hasn't clarified anything to date.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
