My housemate brought up the issue of 'if the doctor says it's bad to be at Melbourne, how can you stop him...i.e. a Employee could leave for a different job."

Assuming this is serious advice, I believe we are obliged to allow MC to play at another club.

However, Melbourne operate in a closed market governed by collectively bargained rules, and have a duty to the members to do their upmost to compete against 17 other clubs.

I think it's totally reasonable that if MC cannot play for the dees next year that he be allowed to (on health grounds) play for any of the thousands of footy clubs around the country, just not one of 17 other AFL clubs.

When an amateur player wants to move clubs having played the previous season, he requires clearance from first club. Almost never an issue, but that card is still on the table. MC is contracted and the dees have a lot at stake.

*I'm no lawyer, but this doesn't seem to be 'restraint of trade', he is of course perfectly able to ply his trade.

I know this is a rare situation but in the future if we ever face a situation like this a non-compete clause is something we should place in the contract.

Heritier Lumumba set to leave Collingwood, while Melbourne forward Mitch Clark eyes Magpies

Article says Clark is close to naming Collingwood as his preferred destination while a straight swap for Lumumba is unlikely.

First of all I don't care what anyone says on this comment. Mitch Clark you are an absolute snake and a Fwit of the highest order.

We looked after you when you got injured and became depressed. You have not once repaid the faith and effort this football club has put into you. You want to jump ship to another club for success because the going gets tough for you?! pfft weak act!

You will be lucky to get on the field.

Karma will bite you right in the ass.

Good article the week before the AFL meet to decide if we get special assistance. That article would help our cause.

someone mentioned that apparently it's been mentioned in dispatches that clark plus watts for blair, lumumba and pies' 2nd rounder is a possibility.

my response: doesn't solve our myriad of midfield issues.

Crap deal. We'd be mad 2 take it.c

We will get nothing from Collingwood knowing the way the play in trade week. Prob a third round pick. MFC get f,.;d again. Clark is a [censored] and a massive pretender!

If they offer anything less than their second round pick lets just throw him to the draft. I'd do it on principal.

If things were depressing at the dees, wait till you cop a load of Western Sydney ;)

The minimum i would accept is a straight swap for HL.

Pies can sook all they like, but they have already said they want HL to be moved on, whereas we haven't been so desperate to get rid of MC.

Now agreeing as such what can we get for the turncoat ?

Sense suggests we move on as quickly as possible and get value that suits us and worry less about the likes of Clark( yesterdays man )

No results of any game already played will change, we can only affect our future. Lets do it well.. Take no prisoners.

It's time for the AFL to step in and say, Melbourne have been royally shafted here, if Mitch is not traded for a satisfactory deal MFC will be rewarded an end of first round compensation pick.

Already getting anxiety over Queens birthday. Only thing worse than getting done again would be getting done by MC kicking a bag...

Clark is far more valuable than Lumumba as a footballer. he's dominant when firing.

lumumba is a good footballer & would be an improvement over what we have off halfback, but chalk & cheese on their potential. Clark as a key forward come follower with aggro & energy.

He has to be valued in the First Rnd somewhere. With teams in the top 6 trying to out recruit one another, lets see whats on offer before we chalk eddies cue for him.

Mitch has ruled out Essendon as a destination suggesting the drugs saga is something he didn't want anything to do with.

A third round pick or a player they don't want and is not worth more than a third round pick.

Bollocks.

Don't do any deals and force him into the PSD. Though will that make any difference if he only wants to go to the pies?

Only thing it might do is force him to put some sort of price on his head so he can get through, which might screw with the Pies salary cap a little. If another club wants him though there is nothing he can do but be selected by them so it would at least make things uncomfortable for him, and I'd be happy with that.

is my memory correct, that Much Clark's last game was a QB match?

Essendon were in the finals. he is getting choosy.

Just what has Eddy McGoo been up to this past 11 months. Has he been fiddling in our nest? It was obvious last September that Cloke choked without support up forward.

so would the doggies, or the blues... they both need a strong tall forward with GO.

Has barely played for 3 years, not to mention the baggage. No chance there's a bidding war.

    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

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
