GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

[P-man 13,366]

I refuse to believe it until it's been confirmed.

[Demonsone 2,050]

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

Club was to blame for Scully....Our culture pre Pj & Roos was diabolical ... Don't blame him....

You've seen the fast food culture he came from right?

Club culture may have led him to leave. It was the manner of him doing so that p!ssed people off.

Mark Stevens reported that Hawthorn are definitely still in the mix for Mitch Clark and that Collingwood will be offering approximately 250-300k a year.

Club culture made him lie to a dying Stynes?

Pretty sure it was his own personality culture that did that.

Time to stop blaming the club for players who are [censored].

How much is that in pieces of silver?

[P-man 13,366]

This is so far beyond what Scully did. We were well compensated for Scully which we almost certainly won't be here. Scully was still wet behind the ears, was given a Godfather offer and simply wanted out.

This will just be a dog act, plain and simple.

Mitch Clark is a snake.

Everyones hates snakes.

Better analogy.

Funny how apathetic I've become on this subject. Just don't care anymore. If he doesn't want to be here, he can [censored] off. I'm sick of this great club being held hostage by its players. The MFC is bigger than any one player.

For every player who wants to leave, there's another willing to take their place and bleed for the red and blue.

I think we need to put the "bleeds red and blue" to bed. In today's football it is a myth. I am happy to have a player/s who are happy to play for us and who the club in turn treats fairly to do so. If you go back through the original MC thread when the news broke that he was retiring you would have seen a few "loves the club" and "bleeds red and blue" in that thread too.

Ok so can anyone tell me what the current verdict is? Is Clark:

1. a player getting over a depressive illness by travelling to a club isnt the same as his old club so he doesnt relapse?

or

2. playing games to get out of MFC?

3. Who gives a flying squirrel grip, as long as we get something, anything back.

I still remember the stories of the secret flight and the stay in airport hotel to snaffle him. .. bloody farce.

Where's our Brendan Goddard to speak up that what Collingwood is doing is unethical and encouraging atrocious player behavior?

If this was the other way around eddie would be going absolutely ballistic!

That's right it was our poor culture, not $7.2m, that made him leave. I feel so sorry for him.

Please never, ever blame the MFC again, for that dishonest individual dumping us.

[Redleg 41,732]

Rubbish. See my previous post.

In retrospect it was an inspired move by Scully, as he'll earn at least three times the salary he'd have got once the limits of his talents became evident.

Crappy deal for GWS, and may be the making of the MFC...

Nathan Jones should be on the front foot, but given his friendship with Mitch it is unlikely he will comment

Didn't Moloney make a quip about Brock's departure to Carlton and didn't he also 'bleed red and blue'?

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Depression or no depression, Clark is beginning to look a lot like a selfish, self centred ar$ehole 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!

I'll slap back. And I'm actually on the money with this slap.

Mitch is also an absolute pretender when it comes to his photography.

He's literally a mile off if he wants to make it in the visual arts.

For a start, he has no CV. At all.

Being an AFL player may open many doors, but it doesn't give one immediate credibility in the arts.

For a start, the work I've seen looks hopelessly 'commercial'.

Just sayin' ...

I want to look fwd & confident of Roos & co will create a new breed & culture... But FFS when I read comments like this....

I don't know which club you have followed since 08.... But an absolute train wreck was occurring under the snake oil salesman Schwab & Connolly who destroyed the culture & almost our club! Ask

McLean why he left? Ask why the most of the players wanted out before Pj rescued our club & brought some sanity back! Ask Scully what happened on the China trip! Ask what would make Dunns mother ring up a radio station & dump on the club after the 148 loss to essendon... Ask what caused the 186 ...Yeah I'm sure the $$$ influenced his decision but I can assure the environment was deplorable...
