GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

The Song Formerly Known As
in Melbourne Demons

Yes Jones bleeds red and blue, but I think I said that about Frawley last year. He is in contract negs so that is a much better situation. As I have said before, where can I get a list of players with 1 month to go on their contracts? All are expendable

 

Sorry I meant 1 year, been a big day at the golf course!
 

apparently big Mitch couldn't control little Mitch in his last days at AAMI Park.....

So many scenarios going through my head right now... More info please!

This is the best of the Bold and the Beautiful right here.


Clark cant make it past a white line ...

Could have been phrased differently perhaps.

I had heard something similar.

Have also heard the powers that be at MFC (including players') think it's in the best interest of all parties that MC & MFC part ways.

But i'm just a simple poster on demonland, so i'm unsure sure if true or not.

I don't think that means much. If we have another poor season I can't think of a reason why he would stay, he wants success.

Maybe he wants to earn that success instead of going the easy way.

or not........:rolleyes:

I find it crazy that players, example Frawley, would leave to walk into a club that will play finals.

You're exactly right in your post, personally, I would want to earn that success.

I suppose it's also a sign of the times, and its trending to football players as well, they want it now.

Yes including our lovely 16 year olds. No working hard nowadays, it has to fall into your lap! But just like our kids, players are the same, some will work hard and earn the accolades and some expect it to just happen or others to make it happen around them.

Anyone care to elaborate on the whole big Mitch, little Mitch thing? Been a long week, I cant think make sense of anything at the moment.

If it's Mitch Clisby they are referring to he is a party boy, a bit loose on a evening out...

Just trade the [censored] to the highest bidder. None of this tip-toing around 'poor' Mitch and letting him choose.

Whatever the best deal is for the MFC.

I'd quite like to see him at GWS for Shiel (or part thereof).

If it turns out he never plays another game, then Collingwood is fine.

He's spent 8 years at a cr@p club that is so far away from playing finals, he has earns the right to chase some success.

It isn't a sign of the times.

Club Champs like Alves and Wells did it over 30 years ago.

My suggestion is that it's becoming more prevalent, I didn't say it never happened in the past.

Both Alves and Wells went to those clubs virtually against their will, they both wanted to stay but the club felt the offers to good and asked them to go for the good of the club.

Have heard this straight from the horses mouth.

Players now are looking for success handed to them, it was clear from Frawley's last season that he had no intention of putting anything on the line for the good of the team, let alone his body.

Perhaps the 8 years wouldn't be quite so cr@p if players like him who should be leading by example didn't throw the toys out of the pram and seek success by taking short cuts.

Yes I remember an MFC official admitting they shopped Wells against his will. The officials rang him and said your on your bike and sorry but it is about money. The reason the club has always battled, lack of funds and particularly lack of brains at the top end.

Jones isn't going anywhere.

He already has 3 b&f's under his belt and he bleeds red and blue.

Blah blah blah

Hilarious and one I hadn't heard yet.

Wasn't it 200k for Wells? ... a lot of money in those days

Wells played his last game for us in round 13 of 1980 and he had 48 possessions! (not a bad note to leave on)

He played his first game for Carlton in round 15 of 1980 against .... Melbourne and picked up 31 possessions

When words dodge the censor I'm like

Plays golf with my dad, still a true and committed demon

An A grade player and later on was Northey's right hand man (Chairman of selectors) He was the equal of Flower in my opinion - never played a bad game.

Nathan Jones is a reasonable comparison except Wells was strong overhead, a better kick and got more of it. Like Jones, he never got due credit because he played in such a poorly performed team.

Consistently in the state team however and was of the best players in the league for a long time.

All those players were on the downward slide, of their career - did any play more than three seasons for their second club?

Thanks to free agency players are able to move when they should be entering the peak of their career.

I loathe free agency.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
