Isn't it a tad weird that a grown man would have his name tattooed on himself!

Not when you're a self obsessed narcissist prepared to burn and betray people that go out of their way to look after you.
 

Oops... Lol... The statement is a prehensive strike, justifying the price they are paying... I could be wrong, but to me this looks like a calculated raid and I doubt they'd make blundered media statements... Unlike me..lol..

well in that case you should have said pre-emptive strike

prehensile is usually used in biology to describe limbs (arms,feet,tails or noses) capable of grasping or grabbing

Clark was not seeking a huge money offer from either Geelong or Collingwood, with the Cats likely to offer a two year contract, with incentives.

Geelong coach Chris Scott has a relationship with Clark based on their playing days at Brisbane and the Cats believe this was an important factor in persuading Clark to join them.

Clark's choice was unusual in that it health considerations - where he would be best suited, with Geelong arguing that its provincial surrounds and low key environment would fit him better than Collingwood.

The Cats have acknowledged the inherent risks in recruiting Clark, given his foot injury and depression that prompted his retirement. Clark played only 15 games in three seasons at Melbourne.

He said there was some risk surrounding the signing, due to Clark's history, but the Cats were "confident" they could mitigate it.

"He's had a crook foot and obviously he's had his other issues but we're relatively confident he'll be OK," he said.

"Obviously we've got to protect that a little bit but I think it will be a good deal for him as well."

What a JOKE !

"Oh well Peanuts to the ready" In fact we should all throw Peanuts at the first Melbourne / Geelong game in which he participates

It is a well known fact that if you want to make a Arboreal happy and less stressed, you can encourage this by feeding them

The only thing I cant decide on is what type of Arboreal makes a good analogy.

Chimp ? (No too much Intelligence) , A Gorilla ( mm sort of Built like one ), or maybe a Orangutan (nope feet wont hold up)

MMM can only think of one other Arboreal that would be apt, but that Ill leave to your Imagination :lol:

Dunn says he's a little disgruntled but overall it's good for Mitch.

Garland says Frawley going is what's best for him and he's a mate first and a team mate second.

2 of our senior players and better performers of the last 2 years simply don't care when 2 of our top half dozen players leave.

I yearn for the good old days of Beamer giving Brock a send off. No wonder we don't win. The jumper and the club mean nothing to these guys.

I know I'm about 10 pages behind, but I totally agree with this. The players are too close to each other and not close enough to true leadership and devotion to the club. At Hawthorn, if you're out, you're out... History. Irrelevant. Yes, there is a place for compassion, but it was only 2 weeks ago that Clark's only personal media statement is that he wanted to play for us.

I was speaking to another senior leader at our club who said exactly the same as Garland. That he understands and supports the decision. I was treated like a pariah when I suggested that from the outside it appeared a dog act.

I think we have a long long way to go.

Don't think Roos would endorse Dunn's comments given what he quite deliberately said at the B&F.

I rate Dunn. Always have. But I'm disappointed with some of the comments he has chosen to publicly make on this issue.

The only reason Dunn spoke out was cos his mum was too busy to make the call

Again, like with Frawley, it comes down to leadership. If Dunn had it, would we have kids as captain? No... They aren't leaders. As a result, they make poor calls and say stupid things. They also let us down time and again. Compare and contrast to the grand finalists. It is a legacy of a weak culture.

Dunn has led this year in the way he played. There were big raps on the two captains when they were appointed, both have done nothing to date. Jones should go it alone next year.

well in that case you should have said pre-emptive strike

Lol... I was wondering where I was going wrong there... Cheers...

I've got a theory.could it be that Roos wants Clark gone to free up a spot on the list fir the resurgence of..... Wait for it...... Michael 'Juice' Newton.

And Liam Jurrah;s grand return.

 

An incentive based contract for Mitch and keep on with the aggressive recruiting. ethically.

Maybe Mitch don't want an incentive based contract?

Maybe ethics has nothing to do with what is happening and the 'moral' of the story is that if you don't know the full story, you shouldn't make judgements either way?

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
