ok now is time to panic

He has retired from footy so I'm not surprised.

If he was thinking of coming back to Melbourne then I doubt he would have removed it.

Or I'm just reading too much into it. Probably just reading too much into it.

He wants a new number - new start new number. He can have whatever number he wants!

He's gone, FCS can't we all admit it already?
 

#54 would allow him to fly in under the radar - 'who is that 54, he looks like he can play a bit'

You can't understand the speculation ? - he has tweeted he is training albeit by himself.

There is speculation ( unsubstantiated) both from a reliable source on DL and plenty in the media that he is training and will decide end October if he wants to have another crack.

It may all amount to nothing but I would hardly suggest that the door is closed.
 

people who keep saying hes retired, its reported hes in training and will meet with his manager about a possible comeback

the door is wide open

So what he's training, my wife's "training"....to keep fit.

As for the reliable source, i won't say one way or the other if I believe it. Even if Clark says he wants to play next year, translating that desire into actually running out again on the G and not suffering another heartbreaking pre-season in the rehab group remains to be seen.

My money is that this optimism/hope will amount to nothing.

You are probably right but you are asking posters to dismiss something that is not out of the realms. It is being fanned by posters, media and the man himself by posting that he is training

I'm a jaded pessimistic demon fan Nutbean, what can I say?

Meh... you are talking to the President of that club.

I think carrying the number 11 on his back was a really heavy burden for Clark and made his inability to get on the field that much harder for him to deal with.

He was very effected by Jim's passing, and obviously felt a huge sense of responsibility to represent that jumper.

It wouldn't surprise me, on the slim chance that he returns, that he chooses a different jumper number.

It's a small thing, but it might ease a lot of unnecessary anxiety.

He can have any number he wants FFS. JUST COME BACK MITCH!!


Mitch was meeting his manager today.

The #11 should be retired forever.

Wonder if there's a similar argument for Grimes. Has regressed since taking Barrassi's 31 (on Neeld's advice...another Neeld pearl of wisdom).

Struggling to move on?

Should of kept his No. 16

Agreed. Another dumb-arse Schwab idea. Surprised you let that one slip through to the 'keeper WYL

  • 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.

  • 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.
