The Song Formerly Known As
in Melbourne Demons

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.

 

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

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 !

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.

"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.

Getting in before 'old dee', but I sure hope you are right here 'Jack'.

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.

The tea leaves.

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


Was hoping this would happen after Pp discussion.

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.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
