GOODBYE MITCH CLARK



Recommended Posts

Posted

If Mitch ends up wanting to go to the Pies (which seems likely based on the reports to date) then I'd be pretty confident predicting Harry L to the Dees

The Pies will have to commit their first pick to that Moore who is a Father Son selection? so it seems like a player swap is the most likely outcome. Or he may go as a FA and we might get a first round compo, which wouldn't be the worst result either

Sad times with all this Mitch stuff - I really wanted him to come back to the Dees... Time to move on

Id love to see dees get a pick slightly ahead of

The pies and go bang.. Fcuk you we'll take Moore!

But they will just take him at their pick.

I think the AFL should preclude Clark from entering the draft for the life of his former contract. He should be forced to re-sign a new contract with us, be traded or sit out for 12 months. Regardless of the depression issue, It sets a shocking precedent.

but he wouldn't be a FA or UFA

could only come under some special on-the-run afl compo ruling if he walked without a trade

uncharted waters

Sorry yeh should have mentioned if he just walked.... not a FA

We might get better consideration if Mitch just walks - but I reckon a swap is most likely now

My hate will know no bounds.

No remark I will sling his way will be out of bounds.

Any one know where he lives?

Joking!

I already know...

Joking...

Freo might enter the race suggestions the trade would be clarence and danyle Pearce

This whole fiasco fills me with disgust. Depression is no excuse for manipulation, lack of integrity and plain bad behaviour.

Collingwood are no better for being a party to it.

I still say we ask the AFL commission to let him go as a FA in exchange for tier 1 compensation. That's a much better result for us than a trade for the footballer formerly known as Harry O. We then have the option of either trading the pick for someone we really need or using it to pick up a top talent in the draft. Either result is better for us than the trade and Collingwood can't complain because they're picking him up for free as a FA. Assuming he doesn't flip and go to another club who offers him more money.

I think they would be tempted, they know we are getting screwed bigtime and essentially it gives us the benefit of a PP without them copping the heat for giving us one, picks 2,3 and 4 would be just what the doctor ordered for us and I doubt anyone would really question it.

Be interesting to hear the AFL's thoughts on Mitch wanting out, especially if they were involved in his 'depression' and 'retirement' earlier in the year. Granting him early FA status, while helping the MFC out, also gives Mitch what he wants, which might stick in the AFL's craw...

Depression or no depression, Clark is beginning to look a lot like a selfish, self centred [censored] and it's highly disappointing.
Guess this is what you get for helping someone out. A big slap in the face.

I wish him and Collingwood no mutual success.

Ugh, people suck!

Posted

As I've said before, no one was complaining when he came to us in the first place even though he asked the Lions to trade him as he wanted to be closer to his sick grandmother in Perth. Funny what a bit of extra cash will do.

He is a deceptive and greedy man. Depression or no depression, he has history on this front.

even if they manufactured a ruling of being FA he would need to get a contract of $500,00+ pa for at least 4 years to get band 1 compo

can't see someone taking that risk

Posted

We should get a band 1 ppl for him. Picks 2 3 n 4 sounds like alot but imagine Hawks losing Lake and Roughhead, or Richmond losing Riewoldt and Rance, Richards/Franklin, Talia/Tex, Fletcher/Daniher, Firrito/Petrie ect

Any team would take a big hit losing a FF and FB in the same ofr season. Big big compensation is warranted. Hardest positions to find quality players in.

Posted

My preferred outcome would be he some how has to sit next year out and during that time he loses interest in playing football again. Thus [censored] himself and Collingwood in one go.

Posted

Persona non grateful.

Wish him no luck whatsoever in the future.

Whatever money he make he will blow or lose quickly i hope.

His manager needs a good smack too.

Posted

I wish we could trade him for Carlisle

Mitch hasn't played much footy in 3 yrs, all the others you mention are currently playing and healthy (though Fletch may retire). Mitch is worth very little based upon where he is currently at and where he has come from. He's a big risk for any club to take on and the chances of him even playing senior footy again are slim IMO. Assuming he goes elsewhere, whatever we can get for him is a bonus.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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.
