Just quietly - Sam Landsberger reported on Twitter that Grimes said on Triple M today that Mitch is in a much better head space and wouldn't be surprised to see him play footy again. Don't know if he was talking about playing for us or in general though.

Something like that. Only passing it on big fella.

is that really necessary??

I wasn't having a crack. I just thought it was funny.

fair enough.

Put a smiley after it next time :)

I'd rather shoot myself in the head.

This was Demonland at its finest.

I lol'd.

Whilst I love a good conspiracy theory and would be beside myself with joy should he return to our forward line next season I really think the only footy Clark will be playing from here on in will be amateurs or country - out of the spotlight.

Should the unlikely occur though and he made his decision by the end of September/early October then we only need to offer him a new contract. Whilst his retirement was effective immediately he is still on the list till the end of the season - we have not yet delisted him. I can't remember the reasoning at the time but the idea was to delist him at the end of the season but having him retire meant that he was not obligated to fulfil his part of the contract... Such as turning up to training and team meetings etc. I'm pretty sure it also meant we did not need to pay him out - although I'm happy to be corrected on this one.

I would say it was also a way to keep the door slightly open.....

Any Whoo....

Not convinced he will be back after listening, although I am hoping and praying he will be. It is great to hear that he is in a really great space at the moment so good luck to him nonetheless

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
