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.

yes redleg, i think there is just a small gap left on the kimono

might be just me

but is there really a Mitch Clark question ? that being the tenet of this thread . Thought it had been answered
 

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.

wasn't there a precedent at essendope......that guy with cancer.....can't remember name

^ Ramanaskus.

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.

If...

Great movie.

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.

This thread is full of the classical Demonland mix of paranoia, hand wringing and misguided hope.

  • 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.
