How good would it be to see Clark join Hogan and Dawes as the key forwards next year?

That would be fantastic!

Plus, two picks in the top 10, further development in the young 'uns, one of the best coaches going around and things are looking goooood.

IF he gets fit enough, IF he recovers fully from his injury, IF he is mentally right, and IF he wants to return to AFL, does he not need to go through the draft?

IF the answer is yes, then how can anyone say where he will end up?

As the AFL seem reluctant to consider us for a priority pick, could they in their infinite wisdom just for once make up a "ruling" on the run and give him some sort of special dispensation to nominate MFC ?

Who knows. I don't.

I have said this before, but I don't believe he has been delisted. If correct, he is still on our list.

PS. His picture and number are still included on our list on the club site as well.

If he is delisted, would it not make him a delisted FA? He could go where he wanted. However, it is a moot point IMO. He's done.

might be just me

but is there really a Mitch Clark question ? that being the tenet of this thread . Thought it had been answered

According to PJ we have no contracts with Clark, his contract with melbourne is 'done and dusted'.

He can play where ever he wants.

PJ sounded as though perhaps melbourne cannot offer mitch the amount of support he needs? He said something a log the lines of 'perhaps there is club that can offer him the support that he needs'.

Not sure what he meant, but it doesn't sound like he will be playing for us.

On the other hand, PJ implied that the ball is in james's park, the club and roos has fronted with their end 'roos signing', its just up to frawley now.

he stated that 'james did say in march that if roos signed on, the n he would too, well roos has signed on'

any way, have a listen

Love to have him back in any capacity, the most important thing is his health, anything else is a bonus.

Absolutely will never forget how committed he was to our jumper in every game he played for us.

the thing with Mitch is he would have to go through a draft so anyone could get him. We cant claim him anymore.

wasn't there a precedent at essendope......that guy with cancer.....can't remember name

Is Mitch still on our list? Can we trade him to a WA team if he wants to play on, or do we get shafted once again?

I'd suggest that given the circumstances under which Mitch retired that other clubs would respect his preference re club, e.g. Melbourne, and not pick him.

Nothing more cursed than the old hypothetical dream MFC forward line. I've seen like 10 of them over my time and they never work out.

Bring back Lyon, Farmer and the Ox!

Mitch has moved on and so should we, he's not on our list.

Why does he need to go through the draft? Can't the club just contract him?

If we delist him at season's end he becomes a delisted free agent and he could go anywhere, in theory.

In reality, he's retired and won't come back.

Terrible song

Good one. Haven't thought about the movie or the song for years, but right on both counts.

incorrect - terrible doesn't begin to describe the song "if". Bread is more depressing than 186 and that is saying something.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’
