I don't usually buy into the whole journalist has it in for the dees line, but Barrett either has a strong dislike of our club and/or enjoys seeing our supporters getting all worked up over his comments.

The polar opposite to what Roos said the other day - more than once

Roos or Barrett?

Yeah, I know who to believe.
 

Barrett is a waste of space. One reason I don't watch the footy show. I believe in Roos. Frawley and Mitch gone but in Roos we trust to make the best of the situation. To quote the movie Anger Management, Goos Fraba people, goos fraba

Listen to Roos on new video on MFC website he is asked about Mitch and by listening to him I would say there is zero chance he will play for us next year

"goos fraba" !!! FMD Clint what is in that thing hanging out of your mouth?

Hopefully something to improve my state of mind B.O.M.! Been away a long time due to illness, but nothing like a good ceegar to get me going!

Could someone provide a short summary of what was said? Takes an eternity for videos to load on that website.

Of course you'll be ill if you keep smoking that [censored] Clint.


i have changed my mind about Mitch. if I got hit with depression and im not sure if the vibe around the club contributed to it and the same thing happened at my workplace why would I want to go back there.

I dont care if mitch goes to hawthorn stkilda or another victorian club but please dont go to the bombers. I couldnt handle it.

If that's the case then he isn't fit to play for any club. Those are the pressures of team sport & being in the AFL. From my perspective this is being played to Mitch Clarks agenda. I had my doubts about his motives when he retired that he would make a return to another club. That is exactly what will happen.

I'll be happy to eat humble pie if Mitch proves a lot of people wrong & stays at the club. The writing is on the wall though & he is well & truly shafting the club at the monent. He has no loyalty other than to himself & his wallet. When you have his fkhead manager coming out in the media saying that he's done us a favour by giving us a list spot & taking a payment you know that the club is being screwed. I'd be happy if the club played hardball & forced him to enter the draft rather than accepting a trade.

Welcome back DE....hope all is good now.

Thanks! Getting old is a female dog!


Watching Roos' response in the latest Burgo interview, safe to say that Mitch is gone.

For whatever reason, Roosy just does not seem interested in keeping him at the club. I find that very odd, but I'm not privy to all the circumstances surrounding it.

Personally I think that offering him a 1 year deal on lowish wages is the only responsible thing to do. We put him in the system for a year, see if he holds up both physically and mentally and then offer a better deal if he's going ok. It's fair to the club because they won't be paying overs for a dud and it's fair to the player because it gives him a platform to work from with minimal pressure and no massive expectations. If I were Mitch I would jump at an offer like that.

I totally respect all that is being said here, im quite [censored] with this whole saga and hope we beat the [censored] out of him if/when he plays for another club. But really, he didnt cost more than a distraction for us this yr, monetary wise we didnt pay him a brass wazoo over accept when he was actually playing for us in the limited time when he was not Head FF'ed, which injuries, well [censored] happens as the T shirt says.

im [censored] he was a distraction after all this [censored] going down this week, im sure it didnt help the players during at least the 1st half of the yr, but hhis managers stilla f'n [censored], goes to say most managers probably are and should be barred from any negotaitons in future, what can I say, this FA thing is F'ed, if they are going to continnue with it then bring back the Edelsten days and get private ownership back on the agenda, perhaps Joe Gutnick returns, buys us an oval in an area that doenst resemble a country town and start getting those parasite couch potatoe supporters to start putting some bang in the old horse again period. When MFC were going we had upward of 40k turning up each week, now i hear echoes around grounds and it purely bites the big one....frig, now im depressed

Thank you Malthouse. Cantankerous at times but always always speaks his mind and says it how it is. Refreshing to say the least.

and the time when he gave roaring praise about Mark Neeld, thank you Mick

 

Good.

My prediction is that we will soon get the 'it was all just rumours, I never had any intention of not returning to MelbourneFC' load of BS and he will be back with us

Most will swallow it whole, of course

There is too much bad will being thrown his way now, he doesn't have a choice

Still begs the question of whether we really want him/think he is up to the job

I just hope one day somebody can tell us exactly wtf has gone down here.

I wanna know if Mitch really is being a selfish [censored] and screwing us, or whether Roos just isn't interested. And if he isn't interested, why?

I just want answers dammit. Real answers. Help me!

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
