GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

The Song Formerly Known As
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

IF he pays for Freo in 2016 I won't be angry. That's two years out of the game.

If he bobs up in October this year, and not with us, I'll be very disappointed.

 

I hope people can now move on, it is now the best part of six months since it became glaringly obvious that Mitch Clark was finished as a player for the MFC.

Good luck with your life in the future Mitch I hope it improves if that means you play football again at some point in the future then I for one will be happy for you.

Now lets put or efforts into his replacement.

I loved that Mitch gave every single drop of effort to us every time he crossed the line and I will love him forever for it.

If moving back to Perth helps him deal with his depression and keeps him living a good life, then it hope it works.

If that means he ends up playing for a Perth club in the AFL so be it.

Best of luck in what ever happens.
 

Will be playing local footy with his brothers back home.


yep.

once again, the dees get rooted.

The Dees are rooted because Mitch moves to Perth?

The paranoia from some people around here is seriously alarming. I understand that this opens up the possibility that Mitch may sign up for one of the WA clubs, I get that, but this is a guy who quit footy to focus on recovering from a mental illness. Moving to the city where his support base is, is surely a logical and expected outcome. I suppose it shouldn't any more, but it always surprises me when people get one piece of information and draw the worst possible conclusion that hurts us the most, when there are other outcomes that are just as likely that are far more innocuous.

who gives rats tossbag what he does, he's finished with us, end of story

Anyone heard any more on Mitch? I'm hearing his move back to Perth isn't permanent & will be coming back to Melbourne to live. Would loveto see the big man in the red & blue again.

He did just tweet that he is coming back to Melbourne after a "holiday" in Perth.

Beat me to it. Very surprised. He has put off his photography aside and seems to be trying to get fit.

I remember he put on twitter that he was moving back to perth.

We can only dream can we...??

His posted a couple of photos about him doing some running around his former junior club oval... Obviously more to do with keeping himself in shape rather then training for footy... I've given up hope of a Mitch return. We can only live in hope he does come back, interesting his coming back to melbourne though

Could Mitch be the fabled successor? Part of honorable tradition of big ruck types captain coaching the dees stretching back to to big Carl

bit early to be hitting the grog, binman?

I actually do give a rats tossbag.

He may have been a little disingenuous with how he got to our club in th first place but when he did pull on our jumper I thought he put his heart and soul into what he did.

I also thought his handling ( and the clubs handling) of his problems and departure were first class.

To top it all off - he just came across as a thoroughly likable bloke.

On hearing Chris Dawes speak about him on Saturday morning ( there was prolonged discussion about depression and footballers on 774) it only re-affirmed my admiration for Mitch.

So I give a rats tossbag and am interested in hearing how he is doing. Knowing a couple of people diagnosed with depression, if he can get himself well enough to play AFL ( if that is what he wants) and it happens to be for a WA team ( being much closer to his support network) then I for one will be very pleased ( as long as he doesn't play too well against us)

I heard somewhere that he actually really loves Melbourne (city) so I was a bit surprised when people said he was going to live in Perth. Ultimately the pipe dream of him playing AFL (for anyone) needs to be put out of his mind, if he starts to get on top of his issues it's still a long road back.

I read or heard somewhere that he is following a very gentle, progressive, long term, fitness program set up by the Club. Some of those words are mine as that's my impression of the program he's been given by the Club.

Might well have been one of the fitness staff at the club just helping him out.


Waiting till PP is given to us before he declares his playing on. Playing a little old game of #trolltheaflback

 

I have not given up hope of him playing with us again.

any new info GNF?

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
