Severance package?

Uh huh. I assume that means he pays us so he can break the contract. I'd bloody well hope so anyway.

I doubt it, I think it means he's liable to stay on the list and earn his keep but would hypothetically take a lump sum of lesser value and free up his list spot.

Discussion about him as a player is all well and good, but the constant rumours and assumptions about his personal life are nothing but harmful.

Go watch Days Of Our Lives if that's what you want.

unless you disagree

He cant ne replaced till the end of season. Another argument for a mid year trade session

Yeah just what we want, our players leaving us mid year.

Mid year trades will only hurt clubs not in contention.

Trades, not free agency

if he feels like he is letting the club down, maybe we should terminate his contract and then offer him one on minimum dollars?

give him 3 years on a tiny wage, rookie him if we have to, and just let him get his body right for as long as it takes?

Clark played with Nathan Jones like passion. It is rare to see in the red and blue.

If Clark doesn't get back, we'll all be disappointed, but as it stands he is a MFC player - so let's get behind him.

If he does return and can play injury free, he will reward us ten fold.

I don't know why people go on about money, we've had highly paid squibs on our list for a decade now, at least Clark plays with passion and courage.

Well said: I honestly cannot believe the cr@p that some have written about him being weak and not caring. He desperately wants to play, and being unable to do so cannot help help any issues, which may well be depressive in nature.

I'm well aware of all that. But does he still WANT to play footy? Can anyone honestly answer that? We have no idea. Some transparency in that regard would be good. It would certainly make it less frustrating. And the timing is hugely frustrating. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

P-man: as you said, we have no idea. Hopefully the announcement will be that he is progressing well, though one would have to say given all he has been through with his Lisfranc it is becoming increasingly unlikely.

I really feel like this thread should be locked, start a new thread when we get something factual to go on.

Come on Sassy - since when do facts matter in this board?

This Mitch Clark situation is a true ball breaker. Completely ignoring his personal issues because I have no idea, but from a purely selfish point of view, we can't afford to lose one of our best two or three (arguably most) best, most important and inspirational players, especially given the lack of quality and heart on our current list.

At least we will know one way or the other and can plan accordingly.

Heartbreaker if he's gone. Loved watching him in the red and blue.

Dam it he's my daughters fav player too.

My Grandson was rapt to pull Mitch in the last packet of footy cards.

when was the last time an all-australian retired at the age of 26?

can't think of any precedent.

damn we're unlucky

Egan, from a similar injury.

I hope we dont use this cap space to pay Frawley to stay. He is a tough defender though not worth more then 600k imo. I hope we use it as a warchest on the open market

Yeah if we lose Frawley we could use that money to lure an All-Australian key defender, maybe an unrestricted free agent..... Oh wait....

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
