GOODBYE MITCH CLARK



Recommended Posts

I don't know what it is, but I have this gut feeling that we'll have both Clark and Jurrah on our list next year....

Geez I hope I'm right, it'd be the stuff dreams are made of.

take this...you'll feel better

Can almost be guaranteed one thing in all of this and that is "we will be screwed over" no matter what happens.

It's the Melbourne/AFL way!

Like when Alves went to North - didn't they let Aylett adjudicate?

Lol, unfortunately I can't blame that.

The reason why I mention Jurrah, is Roos was quizzed about him on 360 around a month ago - he looked awkward and sheepish.

Anyways, we can only dream.

Or perhaps he looked awkward and sheepish about the person in question given his exhaustive campaigning against domestic violence?

Just in relation to my earlier post, about Mitch talking to Other clubs, My source is in the Media, I work in the AFL media, I hear things, so I pass them on, and I am very confident with info I was told about Mitch.

I was just talking to the receptionist at work. Theoretically, one could assert that my relationship with my wife was on the rocks because i have been "seen with other women".

I highly doubt Mitch Clark would treat the MFC that way (leaving to go to another club) after the way his contract with the MFC went down.

I think he has more integrity than that.

The clash jumper situation has proved beyond any doubt that they are fools. Let the foolery continue...

These are the people that will sit in judgement on wether or not we get a priority pick. Those who hired Tom Jones for the grand final & those who made the clash jumper decision. Give us a break !

Sadly it's what I've heard too.

All scuttlebutt at this stage, of course.

The thing I keep coming back to is that the denizens of afl media has no idea Lyon was defecting to Freo til it happened, nor Buddy to Swans, and only scant details about the Peptides.

Hopefully it's just another of those smoke / assholes rather than smoke / fire situations.

Mitch's manager has stated publicly they have received inquiries from clubs other than the MFC about if Mitch is interested in coming back to football, but if you look at Mitch's twitter, and so on he seems to still feel connected very deeply to the MFC, I can't see any way he will go to another club, particularly when he has recently come back to Melbourne, to me that takes the go home factor out of it, if he was gunna play for Freo for example he could easily have just stayed in Perth

Skilton sacked Alves. He was a sacked player when Baras gave him a ring out of the blue and the rest is history. I heard that directly from Alves.

The Chris Judd visy fiasco was the last time I took any interest in random internet rumours

GNF is a different story

The way I see it would be that if Mitch wants to resume his career he would make a call about whether it is here or back in WA.

Given he is on our list and the positions that the WA clubs finished on the ladder, it would be extremely unlikely to see him go into the draft and get picked up by them that way. So Freo (or WCE) would need to trade for him, whilst I don't think the MFC would play TOO hard in that trade, they won't just give him away. I doubt that too many supporters would wish him ill if this situation eventuates.

If he is staying in Melbourne, I think most MFC supporters WOULD be filthy if he is talking to other clubs instead of resuming with the MFC.

I would be more inclined to believe that other clubs are talking to Clark's manager (as opposed to him talking to them) as that would be fairly standard practice.

Now, you say you are in the AFL media as if that gives your rumours some sort of credence. This is an internet forum, we all use assumed names (unless this site just happens to be full of people whose real names happen by pure coincidence to be the same as many of the clubs' players), and we can all lay claim to all sorts of knowledge regardless of whether it is true or invented. You may well work in the AFL media, but as what? I work for a major global software and hardware giant, but that doesn't mean I know what is going on behind closed doors.

On the other hand, as cynical as I have been about some of his posts, GNF does have a pretty much impeccable record when it comes to "insider" knowledge and comings and goings at the MFC...and his reports/comments seem to be diametrically opposed to yours.

I suppose all will be revealed in good time, but forgive me if I take your comments about Mitch having no interest in the MFC, as having very little substance.

In the end there are probably only three scenarios.

He doesn't play again.

He plays for us.

He plays in WA.

I won't begrudge him any of these, because IMO what is best for his well being will be the deciding factor.

Mono..he STILL on our list

So Mitch decides to make a come back do we simply 're-sign him?

Is a rookie position an option?

This is a very long thread - IS HE or IS HE NOT CURRENTLY ON OUR LIST????

This point gets lost in the wash. Players rarely are out there spruiking themselves - it is now almost exclusively left to the domain of player managers. And whether a players wants to stay at a club or leave, those blokes are forever talking to the clubs and clubs to them - getting a feel of players worth and interest so they can get the best deal for them at their current club or get them to the club of the players choosing.

I found it interesting that it was reported in a paper that one of the club was having a list management meeting this week and they have a regular meeting with all interested parties in the club every 2 weeks

So would lots of clubs be talking to Mitch's manager - absolutely.

To answer all the questions about Mitch being on our list.

Qouted from the press release about Nicho and clisby being delisted


The Demons have now made three list changes, after dual Geelong premiership player Shannon Byrnes announced his retirement following a foot injury in July.

The first list lodgement for AFL clubs is October 31.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
