The longer he takes to get back on the paddock the more likely he never will.

Its been a while already.

Dreamers dream on.

How dare you come on here with your negative attitudes.

The next thing is you will be suggesting you are a realist or similar.

Good God man don't you see we should be considering a contract extension.

So we paid $3.2 million for someone to be in a leadership group, that's value beyond the games lol, If you took reigns of this club it would be wound up in 6 months the clubs done its balls and they know it and the sooner this debacle is finished the better because there's no way the MFC will offer him another contract.

Well, if I took over the MFC and we were only going to last 6 months, my first course of business would be to cancel your membership. It wouldn't be logical and it certainly wouldn't be fair, but I don't think I'd care.

You simply have no idea you don't pay millions to players for off field leadership, you want on field as well so run along back to class young man.

The problem is that no one actually knows the full situation or can predict the future, including yourself.

So call a spade a spade all you like, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Mitch Clark's situation.

It's a complicated issue, but I think many on Demonland struggle with that more than posting pictures of hardware.

I would struggle - it looks more like a shovel than a spade. Call a shovel a spade will you?

But at least in this case we have the information in the form of a picture. We don;t have the equivalent information in the case of Mitch.

And strangely black holes are calculated by exactly what cant be defined.

I would suggest it depends what youre trying to define.

If its the likelyhood of him returning anytime soon if ever as a Melbourne player Id think theres pretty well all the info required.

As to how well or how long before he can overcome his demons, that well might be an intangible.

I fervently hope he does on both accounts but suspect only the latter matter may be achieved in time

Right.... So tell us, is mental illness a "spade" or a "black hole"?

FMD.

(Assuming as you are that mental illness is the problem here)

I struggle to get my head around posting gifs,frogs,shovels etc but I can accept that Clark will miss some footy.

And that gentlemen (and ladies if there any any left) is all we know. The rest is speculation. Assign probabilities as you wish, but don't claim to be certain.

Assuming that's the problem then one would think the chances of having him up and about within a couple of months would be reasonable with the right treatment, by which time his physical issues would also have been sorted out and if he maintains a good fitness regimen during that period and recovers well, he would be available in the second half of the season.

These things manifest themselves in different ways but I know of one player from another club who had issues with his mental health and overcame them in good time. Let's hope that it all turns out well for Mitch.

With respect MJT, did you take any lesson out of your previous position " there is not a hope in hell that Paul Roos will coach Melbourne - lets all move on" ?

Nothing to do with the thread nutbean but doing this always amuses me.

Why is it that we all do this?

We know we are going to disrespect the person so we put those three words first and then do exactly that "disrespect" them.

But then we feel ok because we put in the disclaimer.

I guess by now I should not be surprised at the human condition but I am.

I thought the picture of the spade was added to signify the hole some posters had dug themselves into during this discussion.

When will you guys learn that it was a shovel not a spade! Shissh, let's concentrate on the real issues.

Exactly !!!! Perfect call and glad you brought it up. I said I had no idea whether he would stay or go but was willing to take him at face value. I did say I took him at his word that he he envisaged he would stay but stressed I had no idea what would eventuate. The same as I am doing with Mitch now ( please feel free to go back and check exactly what I said in that thread.

I have been accused of sitting on the fence and happily accept that because if I don't know something I won't make a wild pronouncement either way.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
