I spoke to my source again this morning. Just to clarify what was said.

The most important part i took from it.

My source was told by a club official at the Best & Fairest count this year that the MFC want Clark OUT...This was guaranteed to me again this morning.

He has been kept on the list for trade purposes.

Would also explain why he was a no show at the B & F

Just to clarify - what you're really doing is completely walking away from the unfounded rumour you spread last night...

Who is Mitch Clark to dictate who we trade him to? The same guy that our club played millions of dollars to play a handful of games? We owe him ABSOLUTELY nothing. If we get screwed trying to make a deal with Geelong, I'll spew up. I would prefer to see him walk into the PSD than go to Geelong for a late 3rd round pick. MFC's only duty of care here is to do the best thing by the club.

That would be grossly unfair for Melbourne.

Plus a 3rd rounder.

Don't expect must for MC, he hasn't played for a season and a half plus all the injuries.

What do you expect??

Not at all.

I still believe what was told to me.

I think we will get Taylor Hunt for Mitch Clark.

Are you kidding? he's in line to be delisted.

Stay calm mate the fat lady has not sung yet.

Have faith that our current management will do the best deal.

The silence from all and sundy at the MFC is a very good sign I think

If days like today don't make you hate being a Melbourne supporter, nothing will.

It's just beyond belief how we consistently get screwed, by the AFL and players alike.

I'm pretty comfortable with Roos and co at the helm.

We will get what is best for the MFC.

However you spin it Clarks attitude and behaviour has been despicable and you can't help but wish that this deal doesn't work for him. Then the penny might drop that it doesn't pay to crap on people that support you.

I really hope all this comes back to bight him on the bum big time.

It will be really interesting to see what pans out with Geelong on this one.

The Cats used to be the leaders in recruiting but in recent times have been way off the mark.

I remember them spruiking about how good Smedts was and how lucky they were to get him at pick 15, but while he has skill, he doesn't have pace or toughness so shapes as a major bust for them - something we are used to.

The Cats have already delisted five and I doubt they will offer much in return and certainly not a regular or their first pick, but our aim should be to get their second round pick at very least so that we can offload it to Pies for Lumumba.

Whats changed today Jaded?

MC has just nominated Geelong now the negotation begins.

Take your mind back a few months, He had retired from AFL football and all we had for our troubles was a spot on the list.

Keep your powder dry the process has just started.

I couldn't be less emotional about this. he's just a business transaction, a commodity.

his myriad of issues aren't worth the effort. Make no mistake, he may have walked. But there's a size 10 boot mark on his arse

Won't happen. Did you see how he played in that final this year? Starting to find form. Grandfather is also a champion of the club. Won't happen.

Just don't see how he will ever get a game in their lineup with Hawkins / Clark and potentially Vardy in their forward line.

Ha ha.... He wants to get over Depression by moving to Geelong! If you look up depression in the dictionary there is a nice picture of Geelong's Main Street.

So, whatever led to this, I shed any care about mC like a lizard sheds its skin. Get the best deal, MFC, and be done with this pus bag.

It's more about the strong getting stronger, and the weak getting weaker

Whether we wanted him out or not, the point remains that our highest paid recruit has gone and done something to warrant being given the boot, reduced his value significantly in the process, and is now calling the shots.

It makes my blood boil.

Poor old Beams wants to go home to be with his sick dad and look how Collingwood are behaving. Imagine if Clark did this to Collingwood.

I'm just sick of always getting screwed.

I hope for your sake that we do get pick 3 for Frawley and not a Band 2 pick...

(I have never been as confident about this as the majority)

Clark is a big risk though. While his foot seems fine and he has been working towards a return, there are guarantees he will be even close to the player he was. Those hamstrings and calves of his have taken a battering.

I am beginning to see this as a positive though, as it's clear Clark has a wide variety of problems to work through and he can do so away from us. We need those committed to the cause and the long haul, and he isn't one of those.

Poor comment.

I've lived in Geelong for almost all my life and it's a great place to live.

My conundrum with this whole thing is the emotional versus the logical.

I try with everything I have to keep footy logical as it is a business - players with limited lifespans going to clubs for more money/opportunity/success and not giving a rats about the club and clubs cutting players or trading them without a seconds thought - logic dictates that you don't get too emotionally invested in a player.I don't subscribe to the "bleeding red and blue" theory.

With nearly all players I succeed in this and as such I think I can dispassionately analyse what is going on ( with varied success).

Even though we "bought ($$ Ka-ching)" Clark to the club he demonstrated a passion that was absent from nearly all our players. He played every game with a reckless kamikaze style. He wore his heart on his sleeve crying re Stynes.

It made it difficult not to get emotionally invested in him and we saw more outpouring of emotion when he was diagnosed with depression.

Like Choke suggested - this just hasn't turned out how I would have liked irrespective of what we get for him and just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
