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.

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.....

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

    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
