he already is on ice.

Wasn't that Ben Cousins

 

Not sure that is true.

Lets assume Clark has come to the conclusion my body and mind cannot do this anymore I want to stop.

Then his agent who will be wanting to achieve two things IMO

- Get the best financial deal he can for Clark

- ensure he maximizes his commission because there is probably no more from Clark.

So try a subtle paint of the MFC as " we want to discuss an exit structure for Mitch"

Puts the ball back in the MFC court to come up with an offer.

Surely he has entitlements according to the EBA and he won't get any more than that. Is there any room for negotiation. I wouldn't want MFC to hand out any more money.

I don't disagree with you General but I have little idea of what the player agreement is in this area.

The MFC because of his mental problems may feel obliged to give a little more than that.

I suspect the change is underway.

90% of kids in the draft are skinny.

Look at Daniher at Essendon. Look at Buckley at Carlton.

There are many good reasons why our draft picks have failed - being skinny isnt one of them.


You mean a graduate who has a career in front of them rather than one that has just totally finished? Missed the point mate.

No, not at all - how many graduates stay in the same job for ever? Very few these days. Most make career changes several times....and most start in their mid 20s with little or nothing in hand financially, just a lot of debt. Footballers are very capable of developing a career after they finish playing: if they choose not to, it is up to them. They have had a far better start than most.

You say their careers have totally finished - do you really expect that they should be able to sit back on their asses for the rest of their days?? Come on.

So no outcome today?

When Clark quits, the club should make a special plea to the AFL for an extra 2 rookie spots right now. Surely there is a decent ruckman around the country not on an AFL list.

The AFL rejected the priority pick at the end of last year because they were worried about the deflating-Neeld-effect followed by the springboard-Roos-effect. If we get less than 4 wins this year, gee wiz, they should throw pick 1, 2, 20, 21 our way.

Nothing yet but who knows what time the meeting was.

It might not have happened yet.

forget the weak reasons they gave, it was more about pressure from certain clubs of the dissatisfaction over the lack of (non)tanking draft penalties

A bullet might show more mercy.

Under any honest system you don't get penalised for the same thing twice. Perhaps that's why the AFL made up the bull[censored] about us having the ability to bounce back properly. It was purely because of pressure from other clubs, most of them led by hypocrites who went on a junket with Vlad to work out ways of evening up the system. More bull [censored].

Fair bit of that bull [censored] floating around these days WJ

The up side is a fair bit of it has stopped on Demonland since reality set in over the last month

And who had also benefited from the PP's in the past and when it was calculated over one seasons performance.


Roosy said that he thinks there'll be a meeting later in the week.

One of the most clear pressers you'll ever see http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2014-04-07/roos-on-mitch-clark

Mitch is surely gone.

Indeed. Sorry Roosy but that was just a big plain fail in trying to make an inevitable situation sound otherwise.

After watching that presser

GONE

It was clear - you could actually hear (sort of) the questions he was asked unlike the usual post-match media conferences.

What someone gave them a microphone.

Bloody marvellous modern communications

There goes the handout the AFL gave us.

All those sceptics about us paying overs for Mitch will be making it known.

GONE

How you got that clearly from Roos' presser I'm not sure. He could not have been more vague. He simply doesn't know. We'll find out soon enough.

Robbo on AFL360 just said that from what he knows today, Mitch is not walking away from footy, but also, he is not walking straight back into it.

 

Roos just said tomorrow or Wednesday,

Robbo said straight after his mail is Clark is not walking away from footy but not walking back to the club just yet.

Robbo is usually pretty reliable with this stuff. Might be hope for him yet by the sounds.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
