GOODBYE MITCH CLARK



Recommended Posts

We brought or is that bought Mitch clark in a couple of years ago as a key piece of our club moving forward, we were so impressed with him that we gave him number 11. that is no ordinary number and a lot was expected of him following after Jim. I think its safe to say that he has failed to show the leadership and devotion to the club that we were hoping for, as such his talking to others before really talking with the MFC feels like betrayal of both the club and supporters. I have my doubts about Collingwood taking him, only from the fact that Collingwood has made quite a few poor decisions on big men and forwards in recent years a couple more and Bucks and co may find themselves being turfed out of the club. Collingwood fans are far from forgiving, something Mitch needs to consider as their expectations will be far greater than lowly melbourne supporters who would probably be happy with a forward who can contribute 40-50 20 goals per year.

Edited for accuracy.

Clark for Lumumba is the perfect trade for us.

Both about the same age, both with off-field issues and both potentially great acquisitions for their new clubs, but at the same time, very high chance that it will go pear-shaped.

Clark could solve the Pies lack of a back-up forward/ruck for Cloke problems.

Lumumba could solve the lack of dash and taking the game-on problems that we have.

He also now prefers to play on the wing, which means we can offload the tall under-performing wingman that we have - Watts his name?

So it's a WIN-WIN-Win situation.

Damn you C&B now that you have changed your avatar I find myself staring at it and not reading anything else. It seems anything you say sounds plausible and of such high intellect.

You are hearing my posts in her voice aren't you, that was the idea lol

I agree, I don't see how it is possible that any 'health professional' could recommend that course of action to a client, seems to be horrible advice. I smell BS.

I smelled BS at the time of the announcment C&B

I can't believe people think a trade of Clark for HL is a good deal... All I see is one player kicking goals and dominating games, the other kicking it high in the air to any one and FFS we have enough of those kicks in our side.

I'd rather keep MC and him never play again than take a chance he plays for some one else and regains form which I believe he would.

Agree...Labamba( The attention seeker) isn't required. We need two star mids with Chunk & Dom and a two guns alongside Hogan and away we go to win land...

Not good average footballers like Labamba...who really are overrated anyhow.

Mitch C...you need to hit this on the head fast as to what you intend on doing with your career...your credibility is taking massive hits...but in fairness its the media making most of the statements to date..

Come back to Demonland and live up to the hype or stay retired...entertain going to the Pies or another and you will feel the wrath of the Demon army next year..especially me.

Absolutely no reason Clark won't return to form.

Except for those two minor career changing moments.

Suffering one of the more complicated and severe injuries in football which led to multiple soft tissue injuries whilst trying to work his way back last year as well as suffering from depression which resulted in him retiring from the game altogether.

But yeh.. No reason he won't return to form..

Hands up whose university studies/work habits/other daily tasks have gone down the toilet the last two days...

I spent a two hour lunch today with an old friend discussing the MC situation instead of talking about the usual stuff. Lots of hand wringing and "why us".

We go back a long way and both agreed ( over a glass of wine) we feel like the jilted girlfriend who has been dumped for the perky blonde cheerleader type. Life's not fair.

True but the perky blonde doesn't always stay well perky!

It was a deep and meaningful conversation. When I started to try reading my tea leaves re MC, I thought it was time to stop drinking.

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
