GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

Featured Replies

This hurts. Wish him the best of luck.

Wouldn't be surprised if we see him in a freo jumper in the not to distant future

Not the time

 

I suffer clinical depression and find it hard to motivate myself to go to work as a teacher. It must be significantly harder to do that when you also have to perform at an elite level as an AFL player. I wish Mitch all the best and am sure that he will be happier in photography. I think that those of you who think he will play AFL again are kidding yourselves!

All the best with your own illness mate!

 

I don't care! What's best for mitch, I don't mean to be nasty about mitch, but him not playing has destroyed the club, has been nothing but bad luck.

If he was feeling like this from last year the guy should have done it Then last year so the club could have gone after a free Agent, and the AFL whould have given the club a pp since that was the reason they gave not to give one, they said when he would play this year, thanks mitch with your timing, but that would be 650000 less in your pocket . Once again another nail in the demon coffin.

Actually, for this kind of comment, possibly never the time.

After the Mal Michael farce, it is now standard to sign a clause that won't allow you to play for 2-3 years unless it is at the same club. I'm certain Melbourne would enforce that rule. Regardless, I feel like Clark sees Melbourne as home now anyway.

All the best big fella

Get that illness under control and enjoy the photography career


Terrible news for all involved.

Hopefully Mitch is able to start the recovery process, and work towards a better life.

Its not clark's fault but the timing could have gone the clubs way for once, the black dog is bad.

wow. there are a lot of flogs on here but you sir, are the biggest. i pity you.

This is terrible news for the club. This year is getting worse by the week! Hopefully Mitch can find a way to work through his illness sooner rather than later. He will be missed!

With Mitch now gone, we really do look like a b-grade club. Lucky for us we can't get relegated. ....

We now have a gaping hole on our list. What would our targets be? Tex? Patton? we got to get talking to managers.


Thanks Mitch look forward to seeing some great photography. Hope the dog passes quickly all the best to you and your family.

I wish Mitch all the best, these are hard times for him and his family. Those on here who underestimate the effects of clinical depression have obviously never been closely involved with someone suffering. It is an illness that can be as debilitating if not more so than a physical illness. Get well soon Mitch.

If this does not fire up the team this week nothing will. I hope they came out with fire out their ass.;

Guys....Mitch wont read this. Go tweet him or send a letter to the club with your messages rather then posting them on a forum he wont read.

Mate, don't even suggest that, last time that idea came up around here the thread got totally hijacked haha

ask Stuie, steam was coming out of his ears.

Even though we were all expecting this news, or at least dreading it, it still comes as a huge sledgehammer blow to all supporters to see such a huge talent leave the club and the game. But this really isn't about us and our hopes or those of the club, this is about Mitch and his hopes of living a relatively normal life. Clinical depression is a devastating condition and I truly hope that with time and ongoing support he can find a way to have a normal, happy and productive life. Best wishes to him.

The guy's entitled to his life..as are we all , as healthy and happy as can be

The Club's is entitled to know where it too stands and by such is able to move forward.

The split has happened and best of luck to both

 

If it was up to me and what little I really know about what's going on, I wouldn't accept his resignation and advise him not to make a decision while he's in a bad place. But who knows, some at the club may actually have been hanging out for this decision.

Why do things always happen to my favorites? Best wishes for you Mitch.

Mitch is really in a pickle. Depression is very debilitating, but one of the best forms of treatment is physical activity and excercise, which is a great distraction.

I'm sure whoever is looking out for him at the moment from a medical point of view would encourage him to continue playing footy, but obviously while injured he can't. He really is stuck while he's at the club, especially if there's no prospect of him playing for the short term future.

He should be going out and doing

  • 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.
