Can I also say if you're one of those crumbs personally attacking Mitch on twitter then regardless of you opinion on this matter you should have a good hard look at yourself.

While I agree that his behaviour is enormously selfish, personally attacking someone with depression can be just the trigger the black dog needs.

"MFC Blindsided" As many of you know, I have excellent contacts in the MFC at administration and board level. Over recent years despite the roll over of staff I have been able to maintain these cont

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

If true that he is seeking to play elsewhere then he has no class, no honour, no shame!!

What a poor excuse for a human being he would be displaying !!

He owes this club big time !! And if he had any class at all it is with us he throws his efforts into !!

if that happens it's a win. I absolutely rate Clark but it is true that there is a decent chance he won't play many more games.

I dont buy this - if he is over his soft tissue injuries then there's no reason why he should be any more of a risk playing wise than anyone else with prior history of injuries.

Abusing him or name calling won't change anything.

While I feel gutted and furious that this could all turn out so badly for us as a club, I still believe that Clark deserves to be treated with respect until it is known with 100% certainty that he wants out, and why.

I understand that a doctor might tell him that returning to where his depression began might not be the best thing for him. If that's the case, what is MC meant to do? He obviously doesn't want to relaps and that is completely understandable.

However, I expect him and his management to treat us with more respect than empty statements and no follow up. And as Redleg said, I expect him to do his best to ensure we get the best deal for us.

Going to St Kilda would absolutely screw us to no end, as we have no upper hand, and will also most likely lose Pattrecca in the draft. Double blow.

I know that Scott Thompson said to Melbourne that he's open to going to either Adelaide club to ensure we got maximum compensation. I expect Clark to say the same to us.

We deserve back the same support and understanding as we've shown to Clark, who has earnt well over a million dollar for playing 12 games.

This drama isnt a reflection on the MFC, the guy is a lying headcase

Stop bad mouthing the club just because some lunatic is about to burn us like he did to Brisbane and Freo

the MFC have done everything right by him, and as GNF said, were blindsided

I agree they have acted in good faith but if they didn't include something in the payout agreement to cover themselves in this situation then absolutely it is a poor reflection on Mahoney/Jackson/whoever was involved. Edited by Dr. Gonzo

The reason given was medical. MC is scared about falling back into depression..... which is fair enough. MFC reminded him of a time when he was in a very dark place. His doctors recommended not moving back and suggest a fresh environment.

Fear can make people do things that seem irrational or selfish. I suspect MC's dramatic change of heart is more out of fear than a calculated move. Lets see how things pan out after Roosy chats to him

him.

    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
