GOODBYE MITCH CLARK



Recommended Posts

Guess I must be the only one who is skeptical when someone says "I talked to my guy at the club and...." in an anonymous setting. I've only read it on Demonland a thousand times before. Maybe if I knew who his contacts were and, indeed, who he was.

I've no doubt GNF does know someone at the club (I don't think he's making it all up), but I simply cannot, ever, count on a poster I don't know as delivering 100% gospel. He deals in rumours, not facts, in my eyes. And I still question his motives.

Carry on.

At which point the site will go into meltdown and the mods won't have to shut it down to enforce a cooling-off period on us. :o

This site has survived:

1. Woey's trading

2. Scott Thompson's depature

3. Liam Jurrah

4. Jim Stynes' death

5. Schwab/Neeld/Bailey

6. Jesse Hogan

7. Viney F/S draft day

8. Numerous other draft days

9. Tom Scumbag Scully

10. Approx. 987 Jack Watts threads

It'll survive this too.

I think we all struggled.

Pretty sure many people were drunk posting.

Typing that list came way too easily and has depressed me beyond belief.

@mitchjclark talks about hit fitness, and plans to talk to @melbournefc first, says he loves the demons! @7NewsMelbourne @Talking_Footy7

I love you, I just can't be with you anymore.

We are definitely a bunch of survivors here at the MFC. Made of tough stuff. The staff that I work with jump on and off the bandwagon of which ever club they support depending on how well they are positioned on the ladder. They all smirk as I religiously tip Melbourne each week, sign up immediately for my new membership and still have the MFC ring tone on my phone.

I am as gutted as the next person if all of these MC rumours are true. I will be sulky and cranky but quickly move on (I think so anyway....). There will be another MC in the wings somewhere waiting to get drafted by us.

I wasn't. Surely he knew the supporter base would go in to meltdown.

Let the club and Mitch tell their own story. If you have "inside info", keep it to yourself. He does not have the right to tell the club's point of view.

You tell me - what good has come from GNF's post?

Really Nasher? Come on mate, GNF's posts are some of the best things to come out of this site.

I would rather him exercise the right to pass on what intel he knows (~100% factual) as opposed to reading peoples hypotheticals.

The problems it's caused today lay with those that are too immature to think before they write. Not GFN.

"Around 100%" is probably somewhere less than 100% - that is exactly my point. If it were me, I would not post something that was going to cause a riot among MFC fans unless I was willing to put my name and my sources name to it. Without that, I just don't see how you could treat it as anything less than another hypothetical.

I'm clearly on my own (or in a very small crowd), so I won't carry on about it any further.

This saga is immersed in a pool of horse [censored]. This blokes a Gen Y chasing the bucks and im sick of these pre madonnas (him and maybe lamumba, labamba WTF he is) It stinks!

Do you mean prima donna?

I think he meant anyone that came before Madonna.

Maybe, had the injury and the depression not stolen him from us, he could have become our Marradonna ?? The first ie= prime maradonna?

GNF has great sources but his sources may not be fully informed of Mitch's intentions - Mitch or his agent are not his sources...

I can see the darkness coming but I won't react until it comes and a few hours later the sun will come up and we will move on again.

Never a more resilient club was born on this green earth.

Would be nice to get a few things going for us however...

I'll wait for the official word before jumping in, but I'm hoping it's not another kick in the nuts.

It seems like this clubs lot in life: 'So you thought something good was going to happen? Here, have another kick in the nuts. That will teach you to hope'

Dermott Brereton - "Having depression doesn't exonerate you from doing right or wrong"

I don't often agree with Dermie, but he is spot on there.

So true -- so rarely a good news story.

    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
