I would rather MC says to the club he needs the yr off to get things right rather than retire now go home to WA and freo pick him up next season for sfa. (And u know if that happens he will kill it on the field)

D day is either tue or wed as PR has stated.

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.

My take on Roos' body language is that he simply does not know what Clark's movements will be.

I think 95% of the posters here would appreciate it if the usual posters don't clog up yet another thread with dick measuring posts and cheap shots. Get over yourselves.

Hopefully Hutchy and Robbo are both on the money and that Clark is working towards playing for the club again and not the alternative. Some positive news is just what we need.

amazing what folk will hang a hat on.

Nothing has has been pronounced officially.

Works both ways, I hope you realise.

Not just you, but all the other predictors of impending doom.

I hope Mitch stays purely to make all the harbingers of doom look stupid.

announcement tomorrow that he will be playing vs Carlton

announcement tomorrow that he will be playing vs Carlton

hah! What's the opposite of a harbinger of doom? A harbinger of joy?

announcement tomorrow that he will be playing vs Carlton

And to think I just gave the fork crap about his signature. I hope your right otherwise I may need to update my signature...

Dude, he's on the long term injury list.

Clearly a joke!

Of course it works both ways. What doom do I predict in the case of Mitch Clark...someone who's had far more influence off field than on, because he can't get on.

Seems to be a point many are prepared to gloss over. This is after all a football club, whereby the primary objective of any player is to play. That is after all what they are paid to do.

15 games in how long ? Marvelous.

My most fervent hope would be for a full and complete recovery so he can go out and repay the faith and belief of not only the club but its followers.

I get no joy nor satisfaction with him being sidelined. He was a rare breath of fresh air and ability amongst this sorry band of ne're-do-wells.

Do I expect this ? No

would I be wrong.... happily so

Probably is, but not a funny one.

And what's to say Clark can't be brought off the LTI list?

Has to happen at some stage, if he recovers - why can't it be this week?

He has to miss eight weeks from the moment he is placed on the LTI list. Even if he is ready early.

Get on the line to Francis while you at it then...

such a miracle is somewhat unlikley i'd suggest

Its ok...many a folk like to overlook minor detail.

My understanding is 8 rounds, but he was put on the LTI prior to our season commencing, so I'm not sure he'd need to stay out the entire 8 weeks.

Just stop.

You complain about there being no information and then put up post after post with no information.

Give it a rest.

Hell of an insight that. You just cruising for 20000 posts?

fork up.

Just stop.

Difference is our membership funds are not paying him to give us information.

Has to be 8 weeks. Minimum.

Don't know that it's going to be factored in here at all though.

Keep in mind.. Robbo thinks Essendon is hard done by

not a person whos judgement for mine is worthy.

This has zero to do with judgement, though. This is him reporting on what he has supposedly heard from an inside source.

And no-one is "hanging their hat" on it either. God forbid a report he is staying is a cause for some hope.

Just stop.

You're a very desperate poster Stuie.

Hint, go look up words like "context' , 'clarity' , 'relevance' etc

Also go look up Stawman ...

Look up, "the empty can rattles the most"...

Footy Classified story is apparently about Dawes not Clark.

Also, a "twist in the James Frawley saga"....

Will have to watch Footy Classified tonight, at least the talk is back to a possible return instead of a retirement announcement.
