Irony. Give up, post in your precious other thread and bag out Mitch all you want, but it's not what this thread is for and the more you post here the more you show you incapable of understanding ANYTHING you are.

Just stop.

Yet you've once again answered him, meaning you have contributed in a manner that you don't want others to. You're no better.

Fair call. Just frustrated and disappointed. Wanted to do something for my favourite player of the last few years, and seeing it derailed by dh's got me a bit fired up. I'll do my best to not give it anymore air.

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! .

How come Matthew Richardson was able to play a further 160 games following the exact injury ?

Because human beings are not all the same.

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

We need to consider what's best for Mitch, that may be being in perth with his family, especially if as being suggested Mental illness is involved, we need to be open to the idea of facilitating a move for the well being of Mitch as a person before we consider an ideal world where Mitch is our all conquering forward

that's my opinion anyway, Mitch needs to be put first, as Roosy says the club exists for it's players.

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 carriage 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'd wait and see what happens with his leave to get a better sense of where the situation is heading, he may yet come back fit and firing and play in the second half of the year.

No, that is not fair.

We should have to pay Clark out.


For what it's worth I'd want Mitch to stay and It feels wrong to speculate but is Patton out of contract at years end? Or would another mid be available?

Signed.... Ned Flanders

Oakaly dokely neighbourino!

No, that is not fair.

We should have to pay Clark out.

There might be an agreed settlement if that's the case but he couldn't expect a full pay out. He would retire a millionaire so we have done a lot for him personally if even just paying him handsomely.

But geez the dees seem to have had every issue imaginable happen to them.

Because human beings are not all the same.

I should be honoured to be so enlightened.

The AFL would not let us take a good player from GWS.


I can't understand the angst against one of our own because of the dollars he is getting paid. If it were our lowest paid player would anyone care that they have taken leave due to events out of their control?

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

That would make sense. It is obviously a mental health issue or a family issue as I posted earlier. Hopefully it can be sorted out.

What do you mean "not let us." The AFL doesn't have a say.

That's how I read it too...

"MITCH Clark has been granted personal leave from the Melbourne Football Club due to health reasons.

The Club will continue to be in regular contact with Mitch throughout this period and is working closely with medical staff regarding his on-going treatment.

Some of the challenges Mitch is facing may require some time to overcome, and as a result he will be away from the Club for an extended period of time.

Football Manager Josh Mahoney said: “The Club’s main priority is to provide Mitch with the help he needs during this time. Clearly football comes last in this situation - Mitch is also overcoming a calf injury, and will continue to rehab and condition his physical injury during this period. Everyone at the Club is behind Mitch and will support him in every way possible.”

All the best Mitch. :mellow:


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.

Get over yourself stuie. You're sounding like a whining sook. What's next? Hold your breath until your face turns blue?

Of course we all want Mitch to come good and play, but you don't get to control what posters write anymore than the rest of us non-mods. Yours isn't the only point worth discussing and threads change track regularly here. It is simplistic to think the thread would not change course.

It was perhaps a good idea for him to take up photography as a hobby but perhaps he took it too seriously and became obsessed with it? I might be speaking out of line but I did think his regular posting on twitter about his photography was a bit over the top.

Surprising how many posters blame photography. If you are looking beyond injury and its effects on general well-being, family problems seem most likely.

 

It's a good point you make.

We actually have a pretty shallow injury list. It just happens to contain our 3 valuable tall forwards.

I won't factor Clark any more and look forward to Dawes and Hogan, who along with Howe, JKH, Kent and perhaps Fitzpatrick can still provide a potent forward-line.

Potent? All i'm hoping for is to see those two running around "together" for most games later in the year. If that happens we might at least be competitive with teams from around 9th to 18th at some stage.

Anything more than that would be a bonus. Had we been able to field a fit Clark, Dawes and Hogan from the get go we might have been a potent opponent.

The Dream Is Over.

What dream was that?

  • 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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. 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. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. 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.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
