GOODBYE MITCH CLARK



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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.

Mitch Clark: @mitchjclark

Couldn't be more excited to be on board with @GeelongCats I can't wait to get into preseason with the boys #perfectweddingpresent

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.

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'.

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
