Still Waiting funny that a quick search of websites has two backing my version of events for Wells departure mid season 1980 (blueseum.com and australianrules.com) Demon wiki has your version? Never be so sure that you know all the facts!

Those ex players are the ones that know the truth, I don't believe much of what I read on forums etc! Perhaps you do!

I have said this for months and nothing has changed. If MC plays again it will only be with the MFC. He has been training for sometime under a MFC derived program. He does still desire to play again

I spoke with Todd Viney about Mitch today, as we ended up sitting two rows apart at the TAC Cup GF. He watched the game with Goodwin. Said that "yeah we want Mitch to stay but it's complicated. Just

Why? they will do that in a heartbeat, but he is just another NQR.

I don't agree. At 22 he is showing very good signs for a big KPF.

Can you get the deal done please?

They won't do it, his last effort was 3 in a losing final with some very strong grabs. Doesn't get involved enough yet but is improving nicely.

But if Clark nominates Geelong (for example) then Geelong can just offer Melbourne their last pick and say take it or leave it becuase as was agreed Clark is being delisted by Melbourne, after which he is a Free Agent and can join any team he likes for free.

No he can't

Geelong seem to have a few kids whose dudness has flown under the radar because they can be carried by some supremely talented mature players. If Clark is Geelong bound I'd sooner look at picks. Picks 36 (once compo picks are handed out for Frawley, Waite and Higgins) and 54 for Clark and 60? I'd rather see us better our draft picks mainly for the purposes of on-trading.

Realistically what compensation can we expect for CLARKE?????? Im just trying to work out what we have and could have.

Not including delistings so far we have lost Clarke and Frawley.

But have Stretch for what looks like pick 39, Lumumba for pick 22 and we still have pick 2 and pick 3(Frawley compo).

I still think we need to draft a gun midfielder and trade a pick for a gun mid fielder.

He is the main carrot they will dangle... or are dangling.

They'll even happily chuck in another.

I rate him.

This would make me very happy. I reckon he has a lot left of improvement left in him.

He is, but Melbourne could in theory (unlikely as it is) threaten to pick him up in the draft if a deal cannot be struck.

do you seriously suggest that we would expend a draft puck on a player who has turned his back on us, after all the support he has been given. It would be not a draft pick but a daft pick.

I think it is pretty clear that he is going elsewhere, which is fine.

He has removed the number 11 from his social media accounts - which may not seem like much to some but it certainly is.

It's a shame everything happened the way it did, but I wish him all the best.

You wouldn't wish him anything if what i was told today is true.

I have no time for Clark at all...

??? Do you want to give us a clue or is it confirming some of the earlier scuttlebutt on this thread?

If a change of environment is beneficial fair enough but work with the club to achieve a mutually beneficial result rather than shopping yourself around. I know from inside that the club is disgusted with his behaviour and that I can't forgive.

Combine this with his history of burning other a clubs a picture emerges of an attention seeking narcissist and I think it would be buyer beware and probably the reason we would only offer him a basic contract.

I am involved in treating people with depression and in principle you remove people from a toxic environment if necessary but Clark was given every support at The Dees and so for him you could make a case that it would be better to return and learn appropriate coping skills. In therapy you don't encourage people to keep running away because most change begins internally.

I had read he had been shopping himself around, however i didn't realise it was separate of the club and not necessarily working with the club on the process.

Can you give any more detail on exchanges between he and the club and who's not particularly happy?

Im not trying to call your bluff or anything like that, I'm just curious, trying to decide what to think of mitch.

Its such a radical change, he went from being one of our most loved players, then we all felt for him when he declared his depression and now everybody hates him and wishes the worst upon him.

So like many i suppose I'm interested in real sources of information to form an appropriate informed opinion.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
