There is no way HL is better or equal to MC on the field.

When MC is fit he is a match winner where as HL well isn't.

I understand that HL is at least on the field and is good but peoples he is no MC.

It is a big risk to try to keep MC but hell it would be better than letting him go to the collywobbles.

HL was leaving Collingwood before all this stuff with MC happened so we could get HL and keep MC (if Roos and Co want him)

It annoys me that some think this is a good thing when Collingwood have gone behind our backs and tried to get MC.

They are to blame here too.

Can u imagine what Eddie spaghetti would say if it was the other way around??

As usual one set of rules for some and another set for others (and the others keep getting screwed).

It [censored] me to no end

 

Need to be more then a straight swap, id demand Collingwoods 3rd rounder to

So who are you blaming? Cos it sounds like you want to see Peter Jackson having a tantrum on TV.. I sure as hell don't, that doesn't get us anywhere
 

Straight swap is more than fair. He's played 15 games in 3 years because of his body breaking down, not to mention his depression. People keep harping on about him getting back to his best, but the chances of that are very very slim. If we can add someone who will slot straight into our best 18 and is ready to go, it's a no brainer.

No I know he is better than that its just some think HL for MC is good and no one seems to have mentioned collywobbles part in this and that's what I wanted to bring up.

Although I wouldn't mind PJ tearing Eddie spaghetti a new one!!


HL - Mazda 323 with 100,000 km the clock and good for another 50,000 km.

MC- Porsche Carrera with 10,000 km only but with major crash repairs and thrashed engine and gearbox.

Good trade. We dont want to live beyond our means.

not to have a go at you specifically, but there is too much 'woe is me' amongst us supporters - we must be the most paranoid, cynical group in the comp. if it were the other way around and we attempted to steal something from the pies we would all be lauding Roos as a genius and saying 'suffer collingwood' etc.

I'll tell you 2 facts about Mitch Clarke

1. If he stays with us, he will re injure himself in his first game back, re triggering his depression, and retire permanently

2. If he goes to Collingwood, he will return to full health, fitness and per injury form, and team up with Cloke to make a potent and much envied forward line.

Let me tell you, nothing is more certain.

My opinion though the week has oscillated, feeling ok once it was suggested, that we were actually in control of what was playing out, but since finding out he spoke with collingwood before having the courtesy to see Roos, my opinion of him has plummeted.

Not ok.

While I'm at it, did you hear that paddy Ryder is apparently going to not Brisbane but Sydney? (sen) Now I'm glad that essendon look like they will lose him, (they still haven't received punishment that really hurts), but if if this rumour is true, footy is the loser and the afl needs to adjust their FA rules, now. Top 4 teams not able to access Free agents of that year. That would be a start. Even though it would be fun to see Eddie spluttering with indignation!

Last thing, now I hear on 3aw that we are certain to sign Goodwin for 5 yrs guarantee e succession, as others have said, and what if Clarkson is available??? And we offered pick 2 and 2 quality players for danger field, and Adelaide told us we're dreaming. Happy days.

hopefully all this rumour will turn out to be only that, and I should get a life and stop listening to this lowbrow crap.

Ok, back to my assignment...
 

It doesn't happen too often in sport where comebacks are a roaring success. More often than not it doesn't work out. 3 years is a long time out of footy - would think it would take a long time in the seconds to build up match fitness and harden the body.

Not sure it's worth the risk especially as it looks like Clark wants significant coin.

Also have to consider the natural history of major depression where it typically recurs often with a lower threshold for subsequent episodes.

Personally favour asking for a decent priority pick rather than a trade - a good case could be mounted to the AFL I would of thought.


Apparently Hird is already trying to woo Mitch to the Bombers. Just the place he needs to go to keep his mental health in check...

Clubs are starting to realise just how bad it's looking that they're secretly trying to nab a bloke who hasn't even been cleared of a serious mental health issue.

I doubt if it would worry Collingwood or EssUndone too much

I'd imagine James would have just the tablet for Mitch, ;)

Elevated mood with a tan... can do.

we must be the most paranoid, cynical group in the comp.

After our last 8 yrs that's what the dees have done to me C&B.

That will change as our fortunes change.


That article has been removed??? Curious

Go through the age web site and you will find it

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.

The qualification is that was then and this is now

Mitch Clark played 15 games for us in 3 seasons Harry played 64

Mitch hasnt dominated anything other than a Canon for a long while

We should get Collingwood to include a pick which could be used to snare us Frost.

Mitch hasnt dominated anything other than a Canon

and a sofa presumbably

a nice expensive leather sofa

Well, call me a shallow and vindictive person (accurate enough I suppose) but if he goes to the filth, I hope his foot injury recurs in game 1.


Like it too

However...... I just get the feeling this isnt the script....not is it PR's agenda

From Jon Ralph's twitter: Mark Evans please read this trail of destruction & sorrow from a Melbourne supporter. Then hand them a priority pick http://t.co/muwWmCFZSJ

Depressing read. Be warned

That is possibly the most disgusting and degrading picture I've ever seen!!

Anyone who encourages drinking red wine from the bottle should be banned forever!!

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
