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

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.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    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
