GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

Geelong have really given us some winners over the recent past!

No point in filling up with them , only to clear them out in two years.

Worst case has to be 2nd rounder for Lumumba.

 

Mitch Clark will go down in medical history as the first player with an injury that can only be treated by playing for a top-4 club.

Ah well, at least Varcoe will be a good replacement for Byrnes.

I'm starting to think Melbourne should just toss the deal.

just say "we are being screwed, we're not going to put a fig leaf on it, Varcoe brings us nothing that our list actually needs. Mitch, just go."

Just get their second rounder, trade it for Lamumba and be done with it. Sick of even thinking about this massive [censored]. The faster he [censored] off the better.

Ugh, the more I think about it, the more I'd be horrified if we picked up Varcoe for Clark.

Seriously, brings nothing. How many players play every game for a season, as a midfielder/forward, but still cost barely $250k in supercoach?

Would be behind multiple young guys, from day 1. Not worth the spot on the list.

Picking up Varcoe would actually be worse than getting nothing.

If Roos wants him I will trust in his judgement.


Hope he does well but there is an element of Shannon Byrnes about it. He did well.

I am feeling ill.

GNF - when you say something like that it makes me very very very nervous...

...please tell, what is the cause of your nausea?
 

Do Geelong have any up and coming mids who can't break into their team at the moment?

Short answer. No.

They just cleaned out a few in delistings. They've got first and second year players. But the good ones are in the team.

George Horlin-Smith is the best player who hasn't completely nailed down a spot but he's pretty slow.

Only off the top of my head:

Murdoch

Schroeder

Kolodashnij

Stringer

Smedts?

Duncan

Too old: Bartel, Enright, Mackie, Kelly, Rivers, Lonergan, SJ, McIntosh, Stokes

Too good: Taylor, Hawkins, Selwood, Motlop, Christensen, Caddy, Duncan, Guthrie

Too injured: Cowan, Menzel, Vardy

Too drunk: Dawson Simpson

Too delisted: Sheringham, Burbury, Stringer, Schroder

Too young and important: J. Kolodjashnij, Lang, Hartman, Jansen, Thurlow, Hambling. Blicavs

Probably Available: Mitch Brown, Varcoe, Smedts, T Hunt

Possibles: Murdoch, Horlin-Smith, Walker, Bews, McCarthy

Only off the top of my head:

Murdoch

Schroeder

Kolodashnij

Stringer

Smedts?

Duncan

Kolodjashnij is a key defender


Simple fact is they ain't going to give up a single player they consider part of their long-term plans. Despite how important Clark could be to their premiership chances next year.

He's definitely given me a new team to despise and root against though. Looking forward to seeing Bartel duck their team out in straight sets again next year, if they make finals at all.

I laughed.

Duncan

Duncan's a top 5 player. Murdoch is a regular 22 flanker. Schroeder and Stringer are delisted, no point worrying about trading for them. Smedts can't hold a regular spot either forward flank or back flank and Kolodjasnij is a first year key defender/3rd tall defender.


Love the talk about how we shouldn't take players just because they aren't in Geelong's best 22.

Newsflash, people. We aren't Geelong.

Great summation!

soooo 3 hours ago. ;)

Chook, this really is your favourite time of the year isn't it? Did you bump into Varcoe at a TAB?

No mate!

Absolutely my favourite time of the year. No actual games to destroy our moods.

Have no interest in posting for 11 months of the year any more - just October.

Guess that makes me the new Nudge

Hope he does well but there is an element of Shannon Byrnes about it. He did well.

and ironically as I recall he was leading our goal kicking at one point...lol

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
