GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

[Jara 1,153]

Bit reluctant to bag a bloke with depression issues, but this whole business leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Surely one of the triggers of depression would be guilt?

If somebody paid me a fortune and I gave them nothing in return, I'd be feeling pretty guilty, and if I had the chance, I'd feel ethically obliged to do what I could to repay them: i.e., if I really felt well enough to play football, I'd train my arse off over summer and try to make a contribution to the team next year.

He's a bloody talented footballer. As it stands, he may well be unleashing those talents upon us in a few months.

At least we got something for him. It was looking like a complete loss at one stage there but now we have Lumumba who can play footy and is durable.

I wish Clark no success at Geelong until I have a better understanding of what's transpired to see him get there. A tweet asking us all to understand 'in time' is not satisfactory.

Flogger.

Mitch Clark is too fragile to make it IMO.

Good score to get Lumumba, at least he'll get out there - even if he does have his own issues, still plays and plays fairly well.

[John Crow Batty 8,878]

I'm happy because he is replaced by a player that actually wants to play for us.

[Pirlo 813]

'He was just finding it so hard to deal with owing the club so much having been out for so long'.

You make me sick, Mitch Clark.

Clint Eastwood would have dealt with Mitch Clark by now if they had crossed paths on screen....

[SaberFang 7,151]

Hope he enjoys no finals nor success in any of his future footballing endeavors.

And for good measure, I hope he trips on the door on his way out of AAMI park and breaks his most expensive camera and lens. I'm not bitter at all.

So we should send our very own 'Demoneyes' to talk turkey with Clark then!

[Jara 1,153]

Nothing original to add - sorry bout that - but I'm quietly pleased we've got Lumumba - seems like a real character, and a decent human being - so many of the things he's been upset about in the past have been on behalf of other people, as opposed to the feller he's replacing, who's main area of concern has been himself.

I also used to think that watching Flying Harry O running off the back flank was one of the pleasures of the game in recent years. Wish he still had his hair, but...

Get the feeling that he and Roosy will get along okay, unlike him and the meat-head at Collingwood.

People like Mitch, who have the unbelievable talent and ability to absolutely **** over those around them to get whatever they wont, dont ever experience this feeling of guilt.

He didnt at Brisbane, Freo and nor will he for us

[Go the Biff 3,440]

yes we have

thanks

And next time you're at the G take her to see Jimmy's statue with the big No. 11 on his back

[poita 3,902]

Tread carefully Mitch you gutless wonder. The karma bus is coming for you. Honk Honk.

Mitch Clark ‏@mitchjclark 7m7 minutes ago

Thank you

Weak!

Can't even say thanks for the club or supporters for actually helping him keep up with his fitness and paying him for doing sweet [censored] all for 2 years.

He is a coward, well and truly.

in time you will????????????????

What does that mean?

[Chook 15,022]

See ya Mitch. Don't let the Dawes hit you on the way out.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Tread carefully Mitch you gutless wonder. The karma bus is coming for you. Honk Honk.

Certainly won't feel an ounce of sympathy when he does get injured, unlike the great sadness I feel for the likes of Trenners and Patton with their injuries.

[Sir Why You Little 37,120]

The fixture next year could be huge if the AFL have the intelligence and balls to do it.

GRUDGE ROUND

Melbourne v Geelong at the 'G thanks

Give the Dog Clark absolute heaps..

[SaberFang 7,151]

So who lines up on him? TMac, Jetta, Grimes, Lamumba, Dunn or Frost?

Crickets...

I read several similarly worded tweets from Clark pre season 2014 to raise my hopes.

Turned out to be disingenuous rubbish.

I wish the Cats and yourself no success.

[DemonWA 3,936]

probably hypobole, but tragic turn of events means that arguably our best player only palyed a handful of games in 3 years. So many 'what ifs'.

[bluey 1,117]

Mitch Clark, poor type of fellow, I suspect the bludger will have difficulties fitting in at Geelong.

[ManDee 7,215]

My wish is that karma is real!

[chook fowler 19,519]

I believe wishing someone ill will is bad Karma. Looks like I'll be spending my next life as a flea on a monkeys arse.
