GOODBYE MITCH CLARK



Recommended Posts

Geelong have really given us some winners over the recent past!

No point in filling up with them , only to clear them out in two years.

Worst case has to be 2nd rounder for Lumumba.

Mitch Clark will go down in medical history as the first player with an injury that can only be treated by playing for a top-4 club.

Ah well, at least Varcoe will be a good replacement for Byrnes.

I'm starting to think Melbourne should just toss the deal.

just say "we are being screwed, we're not going to put a fig leaf on it, Varcoe brings us nothing that our list actually needs. Mitch, just go."

Ugh, the more I think about it, the more I'd be horrified if we picked up Varcoe for Clark.

Seriously, brings nothing. How many players play every game for a season, as a midfielder/forward, but still cost barely $250k in supercoach?

Would be behind multiple young guys, from day 1. Not worth the spot on the list.

Picking up Varcoe would actually be worse than getting nothing.

If Roos wants him I will trust in his judgement.

Do Geelong have any up and coming mids who can't break into their team at the moment?

Short answer. No.

They just cleaned out a few in delistings. They've got first and second year players. But the good ones are in the team.

George Horlin-Smith is the best player who hasn't completely nailed down a spot but he's pretty slow.

Too drunk: Dawson Simpson

Too delisted: Sheringham, Burbury, Stringer, Schroder

Too young and important: J. Kolodjashnij, Lang, Hartman, Jansen, Thurlow, Hambling. Blicavs

Probably Available: Mitch Brown, Varcoe, Smedts, T Hunt

Simple fact is they ain't going to give up a single player they consider part of their long-term plans. Despite how important Clark could be to their premiership chances next year.

He's definitely given me a new team to despise and root against though. Looking forward to seeing Bartel duck their team out in straight sets again next year, if they make finals at all.

Only off the top of my head:

Murdoch

Schroeder

Kolodashnij

Stringer

Smedts?

Duncan

Duncan's a top 5 player. Murdoch is a regular 22 flanker. Schroeder and Stringer are delisted, no point worrying about trading for them. Smedts can't hold a regular spot either forward flank or back flank and Kolodjasnij is a first year key defender/3rd tall defender.

Chook, this really is your favourite time of the year isn't it? Did you bump into Varcoe at a TAB?

No mate!

Absolutely my favourite time of the year. No actual games to destroy our moods.

Have no interest in posting for 11 months of the year any more - just October.

Guess that makes me the new Nudge

Hope he does well but there is an element of Shannon Byrnes about it. He did well.

and ironically as I recall he was leading our goal kicking at one point...lol

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
