I don't usually buy into the whole journalist has it in for the dees line, but Barrett either has a strong dislike of our club and/or enjoys seeing our supporters getting all worked up over his comments.

..... the money shot's around 46.30 - he says we pushed him to make the decision to retire.......

The polar opposite to what Roos said the other day - more than once

Barrett is a waste of space. One reason I don't watch the footy show. I believe in Roos. Frawley and Mitch gone but in Roos we trust to make the best of the situation. To quote the movie Anger Management, Goos Fraba people, goos fraba

Listen to Roos on new video on MFC website he is asked about Mitch and by listening to him I would say there is zero chance he will play for us next year

Could someone provide a short summary of what was said? Takes an eternity for videos to load on that website.

i have changed my mind about Mitch. if I got hit with depression and im not sure if the vibe around the club contributed to it and the same thing happened at my workplace why would I want to go back there.

I dont care if mitch goes to hawthorn stkilda or another victorian club but please dont go to the bombers. I couldnt handle it.

If that's the case then he isn't fit to play for any club. Those are the pressures of team sport & being in the AFL. From my perspective this is being played to Mitch Clarks agenda. I had my doubts about his motives when he retired that he would make a return to another club. That is exactly what will happen.

I'll be happy to eat humble pie if Mitch proves a lot of people wrong & stays at the club. The writing is on the wall though & he is well & truly shafting the club at the monent. He has no loyalty other than to himself & his wallet. When you have his fkhead manager coming out in the media saying that he's done us a favour by giving us a list spot & taking a payment you know that the club is being screwed. I'd be happy if the club played hardball & forced him to enter the draft rather than accepting a trade.

Watching Roos' response in the latest Burgo interview, safe to say that Mitch is gone.

For whatever reason, Roosy just does not seem interested in keeping him at the club. I find that very odd, but I'm not privy to all the circumstances surrounding it.

Personally I think that offering him a 1 year deal on lowish wages is the only responsible thing to do. We put him in the system for a year, see if he holds up both physically and mentally and then offer a better deal if he's going ok. It's fair to the club because they won't be paying overs for a dud and it's fair to the player because it gives him a platform to work from with minimal pressure and no massive expectations. If I were Mitch I would jump at an offer like that.

I totally respect all that is being said here, im quite [censored] with this whole saga and hope we beat the [censored] out of him if/when he plays for another club. But really, he didnt cost more than a distraction for us this yr, monetary wise we didnt pay him a brass wazoo over accept when he was actually playing for us in the limited time when he was not Head FF'ed, which injuries, well [censored] happens as the T shirt says.

im [censored] he was a distraction after all this [censored] going down this week, im sure it didnt help the players during at least the 1st half of the yr, but hhis managers stilla f'n [censored], goes to say most managers probably are and should be barred from any negotaitons in future, what can I say, this FA thing is F'ed, if they are going to continnue with it then bring back the Edelsten days and get private ownership back on the agenda, perhaps Joe Gutnick returns, buys us an oval in an area that doenst resemble a country town and start getting those parasite couch potatoe supporters to start putting some bang in the old horse again period. When MFC were going we had upward of 40k turning up each week, now i hear echoes around grounds and it purely bites the big one....frig, now im depressed

Thank you Malthouse. Cantankerous at times but always always speaks his mind and says it how it is. Refreshing to say the least.

and the time when he gave roaring praise about Mark Neeld, thank you Mick

Good.

My prediction is that we will soon get the 'it was all just rumours, I never had any intention of not returning to MelbourneFC' load of BS and he will be back with us

Most will swallow it whole, of course

There is too much bad will being thrown his way now, he doesn't have a choice

Still begs the question of whether we really want him/think he is up to the job

Posted

I just hope one day somebody can tell us exactly wtf has gone down here.

I wanna know if Mitch really is being a selfish [censored] and screwing us, or whether Roos just isn't interested. And if he isn't interested, why?

I just want answers dammit. Real answers. Help me!

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
