I have said this for months and nothing has changed. If MC plays again it will only be with the MFC. He has been training for sometime under a MFC derived program. He does still desire to play again

I spoke with Todd Viney about Mitch today, as we ended up sitting two rows apart at the TAC Cup GF. He watched the game with Goodwin. Said that "yeah we want Mitch to stay but it's complicated. Just

I normally try to fly over for one game a year. Next season if we play the Cats at the MCG that will be the game. I hope Dunn plays on him and gives him hell.

I have many emotions in regards to his defection, none are positive. Simply, he's used depression as an out. I wish him no success.

If Mitch Clark Was a desent person he would have asked be let out of his last year of his contract and traded just like Griffin & Boyd. I don't believe his depression was as bad as he made out. Because of this we didn't get what he was really worth . Yes he is a risk due to his foot but now he also a risk due to his supposed depression he makes me sick he didn't care for us it was all a cover up

Depression isn't cured in 4 months. He came to Melbourne for money and he's left Melbourne for the same reason.

The worst bit about players like mitch and scully leaving a horrible taste in the mouth of the supporters is that our players are always so friendly towards them when we play them.

If that was my local footy club people would run through him all day and tell him why. Every contest people would make sure he got smashed. Hed be begging to come off.

But our blokes will shake his hand and give him a cuddle

THIS.

Lyndenn Dunn defending him on our Facebook was symbolic of how soft we are as a footy club. We will continue to be walked over while our players congratulate their teammates for joining other footy clubs. Don't they understand how ridiculous they look?

Im still struggling to believe that a change of 'workplace' was such a key driver in him regaining his alleged mental health.

I would've thought the mates he had at the footy club (the same ones he's appeared so happily in so many photos) would be the best source of help, knowing the situation better than the Geelong FC and its players.

It just stinks and if he tears it up at the Cats next year I will dislike him so much more.

Yeah it sucks he's gone but we were always lucky to have poached him to begin with, and given how little output we got from him over the last season and a half, I don't think his absence is going to be glaringly obvious come round 1. It's time to move on folks.

Edit: and if you need some inspiration on how to move on then check out Open Mike with Robbie Flower

If Mitch Clark's depression was so bad as he said it was he shouldn't be playing in the AFL until 2016. If he does play it should be only in WA or QLD as he has Family most of his family is in WA and he has a kid with a previous relationship in QLD. It looks like when things get tough he chooses the easy option and wants out. At Brisbane he had a few injuries and he wanted out now with us he had foot injuries and he wants out he could have at least be honest and tell us he wants out instead of making up this BS.

For mine I am just happy that another human being who has suffered depression has got out the other side after seeking professional help and is well enough to resume their job.

Footballers are actually human beings. I think we sometimes forget that.

Good luck Mitch.

This happens all the time. The goddamn problem is episodic. It goes away. 20% of the time it goes away without treatment. While depression is a problem, let's not overstate it. It isn't schizophrenia FFS.

Maybe the players saw the dark days he had. I mean they were the ones that were around him every day. Look im not thrilled with the way Mitch left but I know about depression and seeing close ones go through it. It isnt great. You dont just get over it in a few months. But I will now unfollow him on twitter and also chip as well and will move on and look forward to next year. At least we still have 2 tall forwards to kick the ball to.

So many rednecks in this thread now.

Should be closed, it's a disgrace to Demonland to read some of these posts.

Grow up.

I love it when you get morally righteous Stuie.

    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

    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
