Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


GOODBYE MITCH CLARK



Recommended Posts

I would hope that the AFL's solution to this is simply to hold him to his contract. If they declare that he is still our list then he's still contracted for another 2-3 years. That would give us the upper hand in trading him and prevent him from going either to the draft of the FA pool. If he chooses to walk away from his contract then the standard two year ban applies. See if anyone will take him at 28 when he hasn't played for three years. Not only is that a club playing hardball, but it is actually fair to all parties.

I tell you what, if that happens I'm going to get the photo of Jimmy and him blown up and take it to the game, hang it off a gap in the advertising when he plays in Melbourne.

I highly doubt he'll care if this is the case. Highly doubt it.

Fear not demonlanders, the only way Mitch will get onto the list of a successful club is if a trade can be worked out that works for both parties. He is still on our list and I highly doubt we would delist him in any circumstance other than permanent retirement. We will know soon enough whether he will plat for the MFC next year, be traded to another club or enter via the draft.

It all depends on how we signed off when he left.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

At the moment Clark deserves more respect and trust than that.

If however he goes and plays for another Melbourne club, it will be the epitome of betrayal and will render him one of the most hated players in the game.

bob each way huh Jaded..

honestly..... ffs

Wasn't next year the last year of his contract though?

If he were to despicably defect then the next game against him ought to produce thousands and thousands of pics of Jimma in the crowd !!!

let him be in no misinterpretation of our view.

Yes, 2015 was his last year.

We should rescind the offer to pay him out after October 31 this year and hold him to his contract.

Sounds to me that he's been saying one thing and doing / planning another.

Brisbane and Freo, as noted up thread, also said he was duplicitous in his dealings when we swooped in at the last minute.

He must have a shocking character if all this scuttlebutt is true.

You'd like to think that Clark and/or his connections would get on the front-foot pronto to clarify the situation.

The way the media reporting currently reads it portrays him as lower then a snakes belly.

Let's hope perception is not reality.

We've given them 13 minutes since Barrett went off .this is a matter of national importance!

in reality hes had a lot longer than that.

Whoever noted the docking of "11'" from his tweet nic saw the door opening to this abyss.

None of this is a 5 min decision. What we see is the public performance played out . The scripts been written for some time.

Maybe GNF was quite right. Going on Mahoney's comment about wanting Mitch to talk to the Club about his plans first, then it looks as if he may have blindsided the Club. If Mitch changed position doesn't mean GNF was wrong/misinformed.

Mitchs latest tweet

the girl removed her tweet though, anyone know what she said?

What worries me about this is the fact that he's changed his Twitter name from MitchClark11 to mitchjclark.

Mightn't want the pressure of wearing no 11 again.

I will give Clark the benefit of the doubt until he makes a statement.

Could be insinuating he is leaving as not to compromise our possibility of getting a PP.

Can anyone tell from his twitter feed when it happened?

U would think that if he was to return to footy it would be with the Dees.

It would be a simple transition with our club.

If he comes back through another Melb based club that would put much more pressure on him and considering he left because he was depressed this extra attention wouldn't help IMO.

It doesn't make sense.

I can go you one better. Everything off his Instagram pre-July is deleted. Including the thanks to all the Melbourne supporters.

Well that's just weird.

I do have one theory, is it possible his account got hacked and he had to change his name?

It happened to me with Twitter where all of a sudden lots of weird stuff started appearing in my feed and I had to change my name and password.

I am probably clutching at straws here.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
