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.

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

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.


Yes I prayer every night for a fit Mitch Clark. It would again one of the many MFC unlucky dramas if he retires.

We are cursed.

Get well soon Mitch

Why would he be meeting with MFC and together with his manager if he wanted to stay?

It ain't gunna be good news.

Dam it he's my daughters fav player too.

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

FM.

Mitch Clark may retire next week according to Channel 7


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.

Could this put us under the minimum salary cap?

 

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....

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
