GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

The Song Formerly Known As
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

 

Travis obviously has a doppelganger who everyone seems to be confusing for the guy that actually plays footy :rolleyes:

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

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

Just the Clark dog act.

 

From the FB news item:

Lynden Jerkle Dunn: Some of the comments on here are sickening! It is disappointing that Mitch will be pursuing his AFL career at another club and yes I too am a little disgruntled at the decision. In saying that, I wouldn't wish what happened to Mitch and happens to so many others day in and day out upon anybody. I'm so glad he is well enough to try and pursue his dream of playing footy at the elite level and I will always think of him as a mate. Some comments especially from some demon faithful are distasteful and cowardly but I suppose so long as the few "Keyboard Warriors" have there say and hide behind there screens then life will go on. All the best brother!

Not sure how I feel about this..


26 isn't bad for a guy with a bit of toe.

I think he had injury problems this year and wasn't quite right, but his best is very good.

26 is a lot younger than I was thinking, he could be around for a few years... This could be a good trade for us...

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

Who was the journo you sucked in with the Morton stuff a couple of years ago?
 

When was the last time ANY MFC player did that......

When was the last time we wanted one too...lol..

I've held my tongue up until it was official that b itch Clark wanted out. Chomping at the bit for dees vs traitor fc already


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

Blicavs is the player I would be going for. He is a lot like Jimmy Stynes, but will only be really valuable if played in the ruck. (And yes I watched the North final where he was killed by Goldstein but I think he will improve.)

I would offer up Clark and a downgrade in our second rounder. Or Blicavs and Varcoe/Walker for Clark and #23.

i would love Clark to be forced to read this entire thread at gunpoint, to gain a full-bodied appreciation of precisely what a dog about 40,000 people think he is

Clark offers heaps to Geelong.

A forward line of Hawkins and Clark would be unstoppable.

Someone here said that Clark, when firing, can literally 'rag doll' opposition defences.

This is the best description I've heard. It's spot on.

Clark leaving us is hard to take. He is a seriously good player.

And the trade we negotiate must reflect this.

So [censored] off at this guy and the AFL for running this inequitable competition of 6 teams.

Another absolute heartache in a long list of disappointments and bitter letdowns that is the life of a Melbourne supporter.


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.

News flash, Clark will be comfortably in their 22, so we should expect compensation that is also comfortably in their 22.

Exactly.

This is the first we've heard of a Melbourne player speaking honestly about the situation and responding to the thoughts of the Melbourne fans. It's actually really good to hear from a long time Dees player, especially one that at times has copped ridicule from the supporters (and I regret to say myself included).

This reminds us that we are looking at this from the outside in, with probably 10% of the information. At the end of the day those two have gone out on the field, and bruised and bled together, that sort of a mateship can't be under estimated. His comment of him being disgruntled also points that the players too feel frustrated by this, but he's not letting that emotion get the better of him. I agree with Dunny that some of the comments made about him are disgusting and likely so far off the mark it's not funny.

I don't know if I'm at a stage where I can wish Mitch all the best, but if nothing else it should be taken on board by the fans that Lynden does.

he won't be so accomodating when he is playing against Hawkins & Clark in a backline.
 

theory... we should have the balls to demand

Play hardball Dees.

The Cats have smashed us on the field, don't let them do the same off it.

My best result would be a good player plus a pick we can use to get HL.

Clark will probably get a well guarded and "claused" contract for 2y in my estimation.Clark plays a dozen games in that period before breaking down again. This is also what Geelong might be expecting. Dont' expect them to throw any babies out with the bathwater as they say..

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
