If he wants the best deal for us why is he shopping himself around at all- should just be we tell him where he goes because that's where we brokered the best deal. It was just a throw-away line from his manager obviously

Exactly.

And especially when his choice is between Geelong and Collingwood - two successful, well-financed clubs in Melbourne.

If he had any ethics whatsoever he goes where MFC get the best deal out of those two.

I'm well over him.

in all honesty. How do we know ( treachery aside ) that hes not doing this ?

Im over him as well but have a sneaky feeling we're running this.

I know it's not the point, but that would be Geelong anyway.

I'm relieved it's not Collingwood. The deal might actually get done in a reasonable time frame now. It's bad enough that we're going to have to deal with the Pies for Lumumba.

Seriously ??

Hmmmmmm

bb do you remember us being howled down around ten months ago for suggesting MC would not play another game for the MFC?

Hmm does not look as though you are as big a dill as suggested by some at the time.

OH by the way where are the MC lovers at present?

Yay, the "I told you so" brigade. Predict the worst every time, and you'll be sure to get one right.

Give it a rest.

I'd take a straight swap for Varcoe.

Varcoe is only 26, has upside.

I'd take Varcoe before Lumumba - who is 28 next month.

You say it like we had a choice between the 2...... But the choice was made by Clark, not us dingaling

Better Geelong than a Carlton or Footscray.

The guy is damaged goods. We don't want to price ourselves out of the market...

Clark for Josh Walker anyone? Looks reasonable from what I've seen him and surely Clark will be taking his spot

Take a deep breath and relax. It's not personal, Clark is not defecating on Jim's memory.

He's just a not very bright guy, doing what's best for himself without consideration for much else.

if anyone suggest Smedts for Clark, i will put my fist through my computer screen in attempt at punching you in the face. He is a chop.

We gave ups first rounder for Clark. We need something good in return.

Smedts was a first round pick as well. Pick 15 in fact. If you look at their respective contributions and reputations it's actually a pretty even trade.

You do know we could get nothing for him. He can walk away as a delisted Free agent after 31/10 list lodgement. Geelong doesn't have to deal with Melbourne, Clark would like them to to try and leave with guilt free but we will be shafted we will get nowhere near what we paid out

He can't be a FA of any sort. This has been well and truly established. He's either trade bait or going to the draft.

Definitely think we should play hard ball with him and Geelong, we get the deal we want or he goes in the draft. I believe the AFLPA and co have said that he won't be a "delisted free agent" so he can't walk to his favoured club. I'm sure there are plenty of clubs that would pick him up for free who are below the cats. If MC is genuine on his desire to get Melbourne compensation than it'll be up to him to make sure a deal gets done.

I don't think there's a better choice in clubs, either way it doesn't sit right.

Cant ppl see whats happening. ??

Mitch wanted out or we wanted Mitch out.

Spin merchants go into overdrive. Club as tight as a ..... No leaks...no bad press for club. MFC works with Clark to find new home with good reward to us.

This happens. ..spin doctors get out again to sell the thing so appears all done for whatever reasons as suits the end game.

MFC come away with as good a result as can be....all keep face...etc etc.

Ppl need to step back and look. Put emotional colouring aside.

This trade just has to happen, so I hope the club doesn't waste a bunch of time 'negotiating' our deal with Geelong at the expense of the deals we actually want to get through.

As CIP has said will happen: get the deal done, no BS. It's been the way Roos teams have approached the trade tables before and will be again. Geelong are the same.

So angry at this development, The AFL is turning into the Premier League, where the good clubs get better and the clubs down the bottom get shafted, It's a joke, if we don't improve soon our good players will just nominate a club they want and they will go there.

Cannot alter the fact he never played another game Nasher.

Although thinking about it, don't underestimate how much strain will be on his body changing from training on his own to a full pre season, with the soft tissue injuries already his hamstring/calf could just snap again and he will be useless to Geelong. Not to mention his foot injury

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
