GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

[Redleg 41,731]

How good would it be to see Clark join Hogan and Dawes as the key forwards next year?

That would be fantastic!

Plus, two picks in the top 10, further development in the young 'uns, one of the best coaches going around and things are looking goooood.

IF he gets fit enough, IF he recovers fully from his injury, IF he is mentally right, and IF he wants to return to AFL, does he not need to go through the draft?

IF the answer is yes, then how can anyone say where he will end up?

As the AFL seem reluctant to consider us for a priority pick, could they in their infinite wisdom just for once make up a "ruling" on the run and give him some sort of special dispensation to nominate MFC ?

Who knows. I don't.

I have said this before, but I don't believe he has been delisted. If correct, he is still on our list.

PS. His picture and number are still included on our list on the club site as well.

If he is delisted, would it not make him a delisted FA? He could go where he wanted. However, it is a moot point IMO. He's done.

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

According to PJ we have no contracts with Clark, his contract with melbourne is 'done and dusted'.

He can play where ever he wants.

PJ sounded as though perhaps melbourne cannot offer mitch the amount of support he needs? He said something a log the lines of 'perhaps there is club that can offer him the support that he needs'.

Not sure what he meant, but it doesn't sound like he will be playing for us.

On the other hand, PJ implied that the ball is in james's park, the club and roos has fronted with their end 'roos signing', its just up to frawley now.

he stated that 'james did say in march that if roos signed on, the n he would too, well roos has signed on'

any way, have a listen

Love to have him back in any capacity, the most important thing is his health, anything else is a bonus.

Absolutely will never forget how committed he was to our jumper in every game he played for us.

the thing with Mitch is he would have to go through a draft so anyone could get him. We cant claim him anymore.

Is Mitch still on our list? Can we trade him to a WA team if he wants to play on, or do we get shafted once again?

I'd suggest that given the circumstances under which Mitch retired that other clubs would respect his preference re club, e.g. Melbourne, and not pick him.

Nothing more cursed than the old hypothetical dream MFC forward line. I've seen like 10 of them over my time and they never work out.

Bring back Lyon, Farmer and the Ox!

Mitch has moved on and so should we, he's not on our list.

Why does he need to go through the draft? Can't the club just contract him?

If we delist him at season's end he becomes a delisted free agent and he could go anywhere, in theory.

In reality, he's retired and won't come back.

Terrible song

Good one. Haven't thought about the movie or the song for years, but right on both counts.

incorrect - terrible doesn't begin to describe the song "if". Bread is more depressing than 186 and that is saying something.
