All about Mitch Clark


All the Jacks

Recommended Posts

I think we have to calm down and look at what is in front of us: the season hasn't begun yet, so all that needs to be sorted is Clark on the LTI (if required) and his own personal issues and his rehab.

There is only speculation on anything else at this point. They will be answered when decisions are being made towards August/Sept.

There is nothing to be done on this for months.

Many MFC supporters, myself and OD included have stuck through far worse than the loss of a player. It is, above all, a team game

i don't mean the loss of clark, I'm referring to what he brought to supporters in the darkest times, and how it might have appeared so much worse had the prospect of clark and a few others not given us some hope. thats why i think he has been a valuable person at our club.

What an indictment on demonland that the two threads had to be merged due to certain posters not understanding the concept of "support". I'm ashamed to share the so footy team as some of you.

Mods too, poor form. So much for trying something to support one of our own.

Stuie - the mods merged the threads formally but they were already filled with the same stuff.

Whether one sees it as realism and strategic or cold and snide.

Your positive message would be lost on here anyway; players should not read this site.

It would have been pretty cool to keep the thread positive and then link it to Mitch's twitter or something

The idea was to have a thread of positive messages of support that could be shown to said player. The problem was there's not enough maturity here to make a decent cheese let alone understand that concept.

spot on. some pretty self centred posts. too many people worry about money and disregard happiness and well being.

Stuies thread was a great idea and never should have been merged with a thread about offloading Mitch because he is injured, what's worse is that people who claim to be demon supporters couldn't embrace the chance to say something positive and vent on another thread, i mean it really isn't that complicated.

are you crazy or just plain dumb stuie

no player should be on demonland (same for other clubs' forums) nor should a poster encourage it

are you naive enough to think a player could come on and just view one thread? FMD

There's plenty of support in this thread for Mitch.

Relax, stuie.

Please stop supporting a system that is not working.

Not working for who? Not working for the self-selected group that is Demonland, or not working for the club?

It's a competitive sport, it would seem logical to give out as little information as necessary.

When they're injured or unfit, they don't play, when they're fit they do. About all we need to know, surely.

Most clubs have away of figuring out what the real situation is ( with other clubs) Not much gets by in that trade un-noticed. There are grapevines etc

I for one dont like being treated as some gullible idiot. Theres no requirement to post scans or detailed medical reports but a little bit of up front reality and honesty wouldnt go astray.

Noone believes 4 to 6...no one believes practically anything from the FD. Thats a funny sort of partnership with their membership id have thought. They want us all to buy in ...and literally to BUY in !! Then a bit of quid pro quo id ask.

mate there is no point having a forum if you block the opinion of certain people arbitrarily - besides, the players are under instructions not to read sites like this, for very good reasons

Here's an idea: why don't you, or someone else for that matter, sift through the merged thread and select some of the most positive/supportive posts, compile them into a word document and email it to the club. Then they can pass it on to him if they reckon it is appropriate.

I really like Stuie's thread, but imagine if Mitch read the post and thought I like this site lets see what else is on here.... it probably would not have helped our cause.

Really looking fwd to the season to start and hopefully some better times will provide a better environment for the players start to realise some success. I think there are quite a few supporters on here who need to show a bit more respect to our players who have endured the past 2 years, in particular those who has an impact in games against all odds. When Mitch does return he should not have to do superman efforts to lift up for a team low on confidence.

True, but instead of sending him a link to this site (which I hope no player ever reads), sending him all the positive comments in another form couldn't hurt.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
