Cannot alter the fact he never played another game Nasher.

Paint it any way you want bb was correct

forgive me for not bothering to trawl through ancient posts, but I recall most people saying he'd never play for us did so because injury would end him, not that he'd go to another club. Happy to stand or sit corrected.

In any case, the general proposition is true - predict the worst and if it comes off (and with MFC the odds are good) say you are a prophet. If it doesn't, join in the general rejoicing and hope no one recalls your prediction.

Im glad a lot of ppl here dont make business decisions on my behalf.:rolleyes:

So they better control of the spin and bull?

They never signed up to the Telstra deal in the first instance. But yes they can control it. Quite smart really.

Clarke Pettard Maloney

lol

Clark should be well and truly over his foot injury, he has had extra time to recover so that part of him should be good for awhile at least, proper training and management should see his hammies and other soft tissue injuries reduced or managed. His skill and desire to win the ball will still be a major asset to where ever he goes, unfortunately we will not get anywhere near his value should his return be successful. While there is the theory that we are lucky to get anything for him it has to be remembered that if he had been more honest with us we would not have written him off 8 months ago.

I heard rumours a long time ago about Clark, but I just find it hard to believe that the club wants him out so badly if he was training with Dave Misson.

That's what is throwing me. He was training under our supervision. That would not have happened there was an incident the sort some are alluding to.

I am more of the view that this blew up only recently. He was made to feel unwelcome and has looked around.

We should ask for Darcy Lang!

Who?

They're practically doing cartwheels on the BF Geelong board at the thought of Hawkins teaming up with Clark, yet scoffing at the suggestion of Varcoe as a trade, who isn't even in their best 22.

That would perhaps also explain Viney's comments a week or so back when he told a poster here that we still want Clark but its complicated...

I reckon Mitch is Stoked to be going to the Cattery !! :rolleyes:

incorrect.

they've been part of the afl digital rights deal for the life of the current contract.

Aspects of it yes. And they get content from the Telstra/AFL deal. But you are wrong - they controlled their own website at least until about 18mths ago - not sure since then.

I am happy that the club has maintained it's integrity, that's important, we helped the deadbeat out, and for gratitude we got it in the back.


Trade Clark to the Cows as a part of the Dangerfield trade. Just like North did with Carey, if Clark was not depressed or was being possum about his Depression. He would be a sad panda by the end of it. I'd like to see moody art house photos of Church's and the soon to be closed down Holden plant!

If we would rather get nothing for the guy, I would punt him and his Cannon E0S1 into the draft and hope Brisbane pick him up. That would be nice.

Jay Clark on Twitter says Cats reckon a second or third rounder should suffice in a trade. I'll take the second rounder and use it on another player like Lumumba. Best we will get out of it I think.

I love the respect for us. Poach our player. Then before even discussing a trade, state publicly what you think we should get. Wonderful.

Play hardball Dees.

Hardball . F em all .

Amen!

Geelong are no fools. They would have put Clark through a physical and mental medical tests and they must be confident he's good to go.

How sickening it will be watching him kick bags next year, while all we get in return is a second or third round pick for this lying scumbag, who has wasted our money, time and resources for 2 years.

Does a journo tweeting what he believes the Cats think really count as "stating publicly"?


Depression or not, Mitch Clarke has been shown to be only interested in one thing. MONEY and lots of it. How else could you explain his 11th hour about face when he and management were adamant it was the West or Bust!

We offered him the world, he took it and then some, as well as us putting in countless hours, personnel, expertise and all that come with player welfare to get him right!

This is how he rewards our best and most professional efforts!

His integrity sits roughly between zero and below!

If I were Melbourne I would play the hardest ball possible to ensure WE get what WE want and DESERVE outa this whole mess!

Sorry Moneyhungry, you go where we say you go!

Varcoe played 23 games this year in a side that finished only % off top spot after the H&A season?

Brett Anderson just mentioned on SEN that this could be the first deal done on Monday morning.

Varcoe's no champion but this year he averaged 15 disposals a game and played 23 games. He's a pretty good ball user with pace and is a fair upgrade on Bail, Salem, Kent, M Jones and a few others that were regulars on flanks for us this year.

On SEN, The Ox believes Clark may be a straight swap for Travis Varcoe - outside speed with some polish. Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Get it done now!

Varcoe is a bit meh, but he did show some good signs at the tail end of the season. I think it's about as good as we can hope for. I'd be just as happy with a pick to give to Collingwood.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
