The AFL are due to consider Melbourne's submission for special assistance (priority pick) at a commission meeting to be held on September 22, which precedes the trade and draft period.

I'm supposing any compensation the AFL may give us with consideration to Clark leaving us will be dealt with here, leaving us to try and get whatever we can for him in trade week regardless of any (AFL) compensation consideration.

I'm resigned to the fact that as we are Melbourne nothing will work out - if he goes we get screwed and he'll become a gun of the comp and a "good news story" with his betrayal soon forgotten - if he stays he'll break down in pre-season again and never get on the park. So in the end who really cares?

And the way most demons supporters have reacted to the speculation an exceptionally bad sign?
Or at the very least, may have some influence on his decision as to how he moves forward?

Give me a spell.

I thought it was the October Commission meeting they said they will review it?

We do seem determined to experience every position in the book to screw ourselves...

Bringing that meeting forth is an interesting decision. Would've thought it bodes well for us as it gives us more time to arrange list management changes. Wouldn't have much time to recruit anyone with an October meeting.

Might mean we have a trade in progress but no pick to trade in our current state, thus need the AFL to give us an outcome ASAP. Presumably they're aware of any movements we have in the works and what picks we'd require.

Not prepared to say more sorry.

But it's all a bit of a 'smack my head' feeling about how blind we've been.

Without further comments from the posters above and without knowing anything, the timing of this article raised an eyebrow

1) that is completely incorrect it's actually the opposite of what you say

2) footy players or other athletes aren't covered by normal workers comp laws anyway

Thanks DrG

I haven't kept up to date with work cover changes but it certainly was the case in the past and certainly not sure of what comp laws (if any) footy players are bound by.

I am happy to accept your points as it helps simplify the difficult issues that need to be considered to get the best outcome for the club and player

Cry me a river.

I think that unfounded speculation about an individual's drug dependence sparked only by his disappointingly non-committal status as a demon is low in anybody's book, don't you?

Unless the source is Juddy's grandma, it seems unfair at this stage.

Agreed. Posters should be very careful where they go here. If the line is crossed there will be no warnings.

If the pies/bombers don't take him Mitch may end up like Dusty Martin last year and have to eat humble pie and return 'home'. They both seem to have dopey managers trying to shop them around.

Should Mitch decide to 'return' to the Dees it would be like our prodigal son (assuming he hasn't burnt all his bridges at the club). I would be very happy to say all is forgiven and embrace him again as I don't think all of this is his doing. I'm guessing most of us on DL would feel the same way.

To suggest that Mitch didn't have depression is a massive allegation, and personally I'd be keeping that to myself unless I heard it from Paul Roos himself.

Some people will believe whatever is written here and an allegation like that has no place unless you are 100% certain of it.

Have some maturity and think before you post.

Voss who obviously has a history with MC stated on SEN he had told his manager before he left Brissy (when he told Lions he wanted to go home for personal reasons) he thought MC was running away from his issues (did not elaborate on the issues) and he is doing the same here.

He stated he feels MC needs to sort out the issues rather than start again but MC is very head strong and once he makes a call will make a move. He and Slobbo both think he will not be at Dees next year and it is Collingwood he will go too.

Poor Fing form by pies but here is hoping if he indeed does move there we get value back and he plays sh it footy for them and costs them nearly as much as it cost us, he is a bust at this point. 15 games...

It was a very interesting discussion with Voss. I forgot he was Clark's coach at Brisbane, I hope SEN put it up as a podcast as it's well worth a listen.

It seems there is a lot to this story and perhaps we should have gone in with our eyes wide open when we first approached Mitch. As 'timD' posted the other day, he thought Clark had been poorly advised and shouldn't be running away from his issues (hope I am quoting the gist of your post correctly). Voss was saying pretty much the same thing.

As for Collingwood, I would play hardball and make Mitch walk to the PSD and threaten to pick him up if they don't give us overs.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
