GOODBYE MITCH CLARK



Recommended Posts

I was pretty happy with the LinkedIn comment too.

That one got an audible laugh out of me.

Honestly, I've found it difficult to get too worked up about the whole Clark thing.

I never really expected him to come back & thought we'd get nothing in terms of compensation for his retirement.

So to get a return in a trade, even if it's seen as not enough... is still a lot more than the nothing I expected.

If he plays well and consistently, which I don't think he will, then maybe I'll be questioning what we could have had.

But there's a big risk involved there, and I'm sick of having a big void on the playing list due to Clark.

I'd rather just move on to the next disappointment.

Dunn is a little disgruntled, disgruntled, please is that the best he can do, we are a basket case of a club crying out for players like mc and then he wants to up and go and dunn is a little disgruntled. Dunn Is standing up for MC showing he is a good friend, after all they have known each other how long and played together how often, so while Dunn supports his friend, MC leaves all of his new demon friends and supporters. sorry I have lost all faith in MC as a player and disappointed with what I believe is a lack of personal integrity.

Collingwood and Geelong have done their due diligence on his fitness and mental health and both still want him, which indicates that he is in pretty good shape, yet they will try to buy him as damaged goods and we will take whatever compensation we can get.

Don't think Roos would endorse Dunn's comments given what he quite deliberately said at the B&F.

I rate Dunn. Always have. But I'm disappointed with some of the comments he has chosen to publicly make on this issue.

Really?

He's just standing up for a bloke he has worked with for a few years.

There is nothing wrong with that.

The Age tweeted that Clark has chosen Geelong.

So that rules out Mrs Frawley as the alleged third party

Mitch is a joke.. He changes his mind like a pair of underwear. An absolute disgrace of the game.

Whose underwear though ?

Thats the easy part, nominating a club, now how do we get a deal that works knowing that Clark can walk as a Delisted Free agent. We are going to get rightfully shafted with this. I like the idea of Billy Smedts and third round pick for Clark and our fourth round pick.

. Straight swap for Hawkins would be about right.

I must have missed the Dunn statement - is there a link or a copy available.

Don't know about you guys, but personally, if a work colleague leaves my employer to take up a position elsewhere, that person is then dead to me.

If I see them on the opposite side of the street, I'll cross, walk up to them and spit in their face.

I think it's only reasonable to expect such a reaction.

Nice, I think the bronx kiss is a bit underrated.

self-righteous, unappreciative Dunn has removed his facebook post, and in turn all the comments at supporters having a go back at him

likely somebody at the club saw it and immediately ordered it taken down

but it doesn't die because we cut and pasted and quoted it here

you would think the club might think about making some kind of statement to address a supporter base that is obviously fuming

quite a club we have going here

Gee now we are attacking our own players for showing a bit of loyalty to a former team mate.

No wonder players don't want to come to us, we are on the bottom and our fans attack their own players.

Get over it. See the post after yours by DD 4385.

2014 AFL Offseason @theafloffseason 18h18 hours ago

Both Taylor Hunt and Travis Varcoe have declined an offer to join Melbourne as part of a deal for Mitch Clark.

Good!

This mornings SEN phone poll was "Do you think Geelong should give up its first round draft pick for Mitch Clark"? When I heard it I thought you have got to be kidding. Well the final result was 66% of callers said yes!!

So there you have it, the people have spoken Balmy! Now let's do it.

I also heard that and almost drove off the road!

Good!

Given Mahoney's comments this morning this could easily read: "Melbourne decline to make an offer to Hunt and Varcoe as part of Mitch Clark deal".

Face saving by said players!

I think maybe Geelong was pushing that, as offering 2 players is what I've heard they'll do, and those 2 were in the happy-to-give-up pile.

It's certainly not what we'd ask for.

In fact I think, if they're under contract, they're probably in Geelong's how-do-we-delist-a-contracted-player-? pile, and they're hoping the answer is MFC.

Well Geelong, much like the rest of this competition, can go and get f'ed

Sick of clubs thinking they can treat us like a dumping ground for their rubbish, while we give them potential KP superstars in return.

Play hardball or let Clark walk into the draft and end up at GWS.

Yeah because we know EVERYTHING that's going on and someone like Dunn isn't allowed to wish someone who is a friend all the best in the future. We may not like what is happening but we don't see the whole picture. I would be more disappointed with the atrocious comments from so called Melbourne supporters than in anything Dunny has had to say.

I still think that when all is said and done, the club should come out and give us some type of statement to explain what went down.

They won't, but I wish they would.

You ask the question at the AGM and demand an answer, as long as confidential medical info wasn't part of the answer.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
