GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

The Song Formerly Known As
in Melbourne Demons

If Mitch ends up wanting to go to the Pies (which seems likely based on the reports to date) then I'd be pretty confident predicting Harry L to the Dees

The Pies will have to commit their first pick to that Moore who is a Father Son selection? so it seems like a player swap is the most likely outcome. Or he may go as a FA and we might get a first round compo, which wouldn't be the worst result either

Sad times with all this Mitch stuff - I really wanted him to come back to the Dees... Time to move on

Id love to see dees get a pick slightly ahead of

The pies and go bang.. Fcuk you we'll take Moore!

But they will just take him at their pick.

I think the AFL should preclude Clark from entering the draft for the life of his former contract. He should be forced to re-sign a new contract with us, be traded or sit out for 12 months. Regardless of the depression issue, It sets a shocking precedent.
 

but he wouldn't be a FA or UFA

could only come under some special on-the-run afl compo ruling if he walked without a trade

uncharted waters

Sorry yeh should have mentioned if he just walked.... not a FA

We might get better consideration if Mitch just walks - but I reckon a swap is most likely now

I can just picture the new poster graffiti when Mitch comes on board at Lexusland. Nothing is too low for them.

My hate will know no bounds.

No remark I will sling his way will be out of bounds.

Any one know where he lives?

Joking!

I already know...

Joking...

I'd rather let him go to the draft then swap him for Labamba

Let both go to the draft.
 

Freo might enter the race suggestions the trade would be clarence and danyle Pearce

This whole fiasco fills me with disgust. Depression is no excuse for manipulation, lack of integrity and plain bad behaviour.

Collingwood are no better for being a party to it.


I still say we ask the AFL commission to let him go as a FA in exchange for tier 1 compensation. That's a much better result for us than a trade for the footballer formerly known as Harry O. We then have the option of either trading the pick for someone we really need or using it to pick up a top talent in the draft. Either result is better for us than the trade and Collingwood can't complain because they're picking him up for free as a FA. Assuming he doesn't flip and go to another club who offers him more money.

I think they would be tempted, they know we are getting screwed bigtime and essentially it gives us the benefit of a PP without them copping the heat for giving us one, picks 2,3 and 4 would be just what the doctor ordered for us and I doubt anyone would really question it.

Be interesting to hear the AFL's thoughts on Mitch wanting out, especially if they were involved in his 'depression' and 'retirement' earlier in the year. Granting him early FA status, while helping the MFC out, also gives Mitch what he wants, which might stick in the AFL's craw...

Depression or no depression, Clark is beginning to look a lot like a selfish, self centred [censored] and it's highly disappointing.
Guess this is what you get for helping someone out. A big slap in the face.

I wish him and Collingwood no mutual success.

Ugh, people suck!

As I've said before, no one was complaining when he came to us in the first place even though he asked the Lions to trade him as he wanted to be closer to his sick grandmother in Perth. Funny what a bit of extra cash will do.

He is a deceptive and greedy man. Depression or no depression, he has history on this front.

We are in accord Jaded! My post 2912 refers.

Yeah, right on! Alpaca's rule.

What Clark is doing is far worse than what Scully did - and that's saying something.

even if they manufactured a ruling of being FA he would need to get a contract of $500,00+ pa for at least 4 years to get band 1 compo

can't see someone taking that risk

We should get a band 1 ppl for him. Picks 2 3 n 4 sounds like alot but imagine Hawks losing Lake and Roughhead, or Richmond losing Riewoldt and Rance, Richards/Franklin, Talia/Tex, Fletcher/Daniher, Firrito/Petrie ect

Any team would take a big hit losing a FF and FB in the same ofr season. Big big compensation is warranted. Hardest positions to find quality players in.

My preferred outcome would be he some how has to sit next year out and during that time he loses interest in playing football again. Thus [censored] himself and Collingwood in one go.

Persona non grateful.

Wish him no luck whatsoever in the future.

Whatever money he make he will blow or lose quickly i hope.

His manager needs a good smack too.

 

I wish we could trade him for Carlisle

Mitch hasn't played much footy in 3 yrs, all the others you mention are currently playing and healthy (though Fletch may retire). Mitch is worth very little based upon where he is currently at and where he has come from. He's a big risk for any club to take on and the chances of him even playing senior footy again are slim IMO. Assuming he goes elsewhere, whatever we can get for him is a bonus.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
