Take off your Melbourne hat for a second. After serious depression issues you have a chance to restart your career and jump on board the SS Minnow ( where you once did a 3 hour tour) or the QE2. Which one would you take.

hang on..

Hes been aided immensely by the club. Hes been paid very hansomely by the club. We've stood by him.

I agree 100% and maybe it is because of my demeanor after Sunday but if I was his medical practitioner, for his own well being I would probably advise him to stay away from us !

Maybe it ll come dowm to the offer on the table.

IMO opinion it will have nothing to do with money.

Mitch at his retirement said himself that he was feeling guilty about being highly paid and not providing a return. He would hardly sell out to the highest bidder after his previous statements.

We dont know this. A team like Carlton St kilda Bulldogs could defijitely use a player of this calibre and with Pattom off the table may throw up a good offer. He has a family to support so he would need to look at all options. A 600k offer from the Bullies or a 300k offer from the MFC. Could be a tough decision

"We dont know this" - that's why I started the post with In my opinion. And yes we don't know this but all you can do is listen to how he has spoken and he seems genuine to me. My opinion is that if he chooses another team over ours - it will either be over in WA because it may be closer to his support structure - or if it is here - it will be a team that will be successful and in the finals frame as this may be better for his mental health. IMO - it will not be a money issue. I also suspect that any club that takes him on will be for minimal money but with large $ incentives (games,goals, B&F votes etc)

Noticed this morning a few boys posted photos of them training at a certain boxing gym and that's the same one mitch has been training at recently.. Not sure if there's anything in that. Might just be that him been a former melbourne player he was put onto someone or the clubs told him to head down there as part of there program for him

I certainly hope Watts was one of them...

I doubt Clark would play for another club, here is a bloke who is already doing it tough.

He'd cop heat from the public if he played elsewhere and he doesn't need that sh*t.

If he wants to just play football with no pressure, have some fun and hang with his mates, he'll be back at MFC... if he even plays again.

You would first have to accept that we are the SS Minnow.

Firstly, it might well look, sound and feel that way today but it won't always be the case.

Secondly, Mitch has always sounded like an insightful person of integrity. It might be naieve of me but I don't see him in the same class as Tom Scully.

By the same logic he could just play for Casey...most of out boys seem to prefer it there without the pressure.

Who says he is coming back to footy by the way? Just asking.

Sam McClure now informing us that Mitch Clark remains a chance to play at AFL level next season.

Mitch Clark and his manager, Colin Young, are set to meet in 10 days to discuss his future. #AFL

If he returns could anyone see it being anywhere except Melbourne?

Unsure what his avenues of return are; is he technically still on our list?

I saw him a couple of weeks ago at the markets in Fremantle, my coffee man in the markets has seen him a few times within the last couple of months also. Most likely means nothing, he's from over here and probably enjoying visiting family, plus the coffee at the markets is probably the best in Perth...

I remember the below article at the time, he was pretty adamant on getting to Fremantle.

One wonders why we didn't keep him on the list if there was even a remote chance our greatest asset would return.

You're assuming we haven't.

If u stalk his Instagram and look at his girlfriends you will see that she is at uni in Melbourne away from Mitch ATM. Also that her bridal plans are all being done from a place in Elwood, what does that all mean? Probably nothing, but interesting to note that his partner has stayed here for uni and mskybe he plans to return once he is well. Grasping at straws really, but just hoping there is a chance he returns. I think he had taken up some photography opportunities in Melbourne also

I have a good feeling we will see Mitch back in the AFL next year!

In different colours.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
