The only thing that separates us from the pies is a few $million and they have won two Gf's in the last 50 years and we have won nil.

if you believe Stereotypes we probably have more teeth in our 30,000 members than they do in their 60,000

 

I don't know what everyone else is think on this site but I'm starting to have a little doubt in my mind that Mitch Clark will retire at end of the season.

Not that I want him to leave, I love Mitch and his carriages attack at the ball but as a Demon support I'm always looking at the worst because that's what I'm use to.

So lets say Mitch does leave, we have $750,000 in the cap.

If we finish 2014 in good form we could actually get a big fish.

Who is free and who do we go for.

I wish I'd started this thread as a social experiment to see if MFC supporters on Demonland were capable of supporting one of our own in a time of need with resorting to petty arguments, rumours, and just plain insensitive dumb comments. Unfortunately it was started to simply support a fellow demon but it's been ruined by those incapable of maturity and lacking understanding.

And we wonder why our culture has been so bad.
 

I say we wait until he retires before we discuss his replacement, a fit and firing Mitch Clark is better than anyone we will attract on the market

Will Mitch now be placed on the long term injury list?


If it were possible I would rather they take the punt and redraft him as a rookie. Way too much love for Clarky to let him go so soon.

Just passing it on FWIW...........

hi all,
The word i have is that clark's partner and child have moved back to perth and he is going through very difficult time and in a terrible headspace as a result which explains the club statement.
 

Get off yiur horse Stuie. You started this thread because you didnt like the tone of another.

Dont pretend you're any better than others.

Many are quite capable of good intent and wishing well of our lot but we are also at liberty to disect bullshlt from chocolate mouse.

No one wishs ill of Mitch. But at 1/2 m pa we're entitled to ask some questions

Case in point.

The other thread was for discussion about the situation, this thread, as clearly stated in the OP, was for supportive messages for him. Obviously you either have no comprehension of the difference or you're just "too tough" to just support someone without having to "ask questions".

You are more than welcome to post whatever you want about this situation in the thread for that purpose, but go back and read the OP here and see what this thread was meant to be for.

Perhaps it might be time to consider a potential trade back to Perth? if that's what's best for Mitch and the mfc can get a good result out of it i reckon it should be looked at, as much as i'd be sad to see him go.

D 26 at present you could trade him for a two day old macdonalds Big Mac

excuse my ignorance but whats a chocolate mouse?

Is that a sex move i'm being neglected of?

Far easier said than done. He's on big coin and his contract isn't up until the end of next year - neither WA club would probably be able to afford him and we wouldn't get anything of note back for a player who hasn't played for a few years.

I'd rather the club stick with him for as long as possible, which is at least until the end of his deal in 2015.

Assuming he gets to somewhere near fit by the end of 2014, Freo would have to look at him, obviously the injury probably knocks his value around abit but it's about what's best for Mitch and if we could get something out of it everyone wins.

I reckon we'd have to foot a portion of the bill, but if we keep him on and he spends the entire year in Perth on leave we're doing that anyway, but the most important thing for Mitch is his health an happiness and i just find it really difficult to see him back out there as a Dees player again at this point.

Well done...straight over your head.

No need for more/another thread.

The many are quite capable of adding to their concerns as well as understanding his predicament.

You obviously arent


As I said late last year I reckon he has played his last game! .A physio mate of mine said then that he would find it extremely difficult to get back given the type of injury and the propensity of other soft tissue injuries impeding his rehab. I really believe has played his last game! .

I am assuming of course that his injuries are the reason behind his "Extended Leave" and not something new.

If this is because of his injuries then we have two options!

1 Put him on the LTI list in the hope of a miracle

2 Pay him out and move forward.

Pity but this continues the scourge that is MFC Recruting. This time however unlike many other times this can be put down to extremely bad luck!

Pity.

Ok, that answers it then, you have no comprehension.

Stay out of this thread then, it's for people wanting to support a player not show how insensitive and stupid they are.

If Mitch comes fit he plays for us. If he doesnt his career is over.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
