What does this mean about his contract? I understand it is a sensitive issue but with a year remaining and on big coin, how does that work? Is there insurance policy? Does the pay-out come under the salary cap?

Sad end Mitch loved your intensity when you were playing in the red and blue and would loved for it to have ended differently. I hope the rest of your life works out for the better

Not unexpected but wow that sucks. How many kicks in the nads can this club take?

So long Mitch and all the best, your time at MFC was brief but you gave your all for the jumper and club when you were here and your talent will be sorely missed.

The meeting was in regards to that. He will accept a far smaller payment as a payout, however I'm led to believe the money will still count to the salary cap. That said given the issues resulting in the retirement, you'd hope they'd make an exception.

Towards the cap for 2014, correct? Because I imagine he won't be listed next year?

So long Mitch Clark.

You came to us under a siege of doubt, disbelief and mockery from other AFL club supporters and some MFC fans. But within a few games you completely blew them all out of the water and showed more heart, spirit and guts than i had seen at the MFC for a very long time (bar N. Jones). All the best with your recovery, and it goes to show how minuscule a thing football is, in context to life and it's challenges.

Look forward to following your photography career, ya' got talent son.

Let's keep the talk of money, contracts etc in the other thread.... this should be, as stated by the OP, an appreciation thread...

so thanks Mitch, you were a flash of inspiration and I think that despite the fact you weren't on the field much, your influence extended way beyond that. Here's hoping that you can get to a better place mentally soon and that your photography flourishes and you make something of yourself in that field.

Always gave his all when he played. Shame he only played a limited number of games for us. Sad day for the club, but a good day to remember the hope, football ability and leadership he provided during his time with us.

Sad and I wish him well but from an mfc point of view it's shattering and I believe the afl should grant us the ability to draft a replacement immediately I'm sure other clubs would agree we are non compedative and lost our best player we are truly at rock bottom

I hope in a year or two he feels abit better and may decide to give it another crack, he is a real talent

I presume we have negotiated it in a way whereby any cost inst counted towards our salary cap.

We are currently only paying 95% of the cap which leaves us with a spare $450,000. Mitch would be on app $650,000.

If the club had the spare money then it would give us $1million to poach a top recruit.

I think its time to start raiding GWS and GC.

Best of luck to Mitch with his recovery - it's an absolute [censored] of a condition.

Anyway, could we wrangle some kind of compensation from the AFL for this in the way of a pick, simply because we're the MFC?

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    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
