Very disappointing if true. We can't force him to come back or stay retired but to see him go elsewhere after all the bollocks we have put up with is a kick in the guts.

Posted

So his manager didn't say anything of the sort and Bagbag Barrett put his own spin on it. This is the same guy who claimed we were about to unveil Scott Burns as coach - avoid at all costs.

Apparently we will be trading him because his contract would still be running had he not retired.

Someone on fb posted that there's negotiations between melb and collingwood regarding Clark for lemumba.

Which I think is herrendous.

IF TRUE..... Then he turns out to be a weak lying prima donna dog imo. Although, we already know that is what Barrett is, so I have faith that's not the case with Clark. I really really hope Clark doesn't prove me wrong. I will be sure to voice it loud and clear if he does.

cant be serious surely.

I am yet see an exact quote saying he officially wont be playing at the dees.

Just as we have not seen the same saying he'll be playing for us mate.

The joys of being an emotional train wreck Dees supporter.

The more I think of it, the more I just know we're about to be kicked in the guts again.

The annoying thing is this might be little more than a cheap shot from Barrett, he will be the last person to put his hand up next year if Mitch is playing for MFC next year

Posted

If this isn't true, he or his manager will come out and make a statement soon. If we don't hear anything, he can GAGF.

The never ending ride of being a Melbourne supporter! A bit of good fortune would be nice.. Please?

If we swapped Mitch for Floggy O we will be a bigger laughing stock than we already are.

If and I mean IF Mitch wants to play at another vic club, we either get a top 10 pick for him, or he can go to any club he wants, when his contract expires at the end of next year.

Time for this club to become a strong club.

Who knows what the real story is? What if Melbourne for example were in a position to secure a younger gun forward say a Reid or a one of the GWS crew of forwards? Maybe we have a position on this and the risk of a Clark return? If a trade to Collingwood secured us a running back we so desperately need for essentially free, might this not be a bad option?

Happy to leave it with Roos and Co.

If he plays for another club there seems to be an assumption that it would be by his design. I wouldn't assume anything.

Add Mitch Clarke to Freo's forward line and they are a much more serious flag threat. Adding a 200cm power forward to a team with an open premiership window is an opportunity not to be sneezed at. Particularly when your head coach is a known "go for the flag and leave the club in a shambles if you miss" kinda guy...

Yeah IF he can get on the park- that's the point.

He's contracted till Oct 31. If he's go to a club of his choice, that would have to be via a trade, which would have to be during the trade period, which is prior to the expiration of his contract.

On the other hand, if that fell through, I would presume he could go to a club of his choice in the delisted FA period, where we'd get nothing.

The latter would appear to reduce our negotiating power - this would be on the assumption that both sides (Melb and Mitch) think it's best to "move on". As such, and given his recent history and the uncertainties surrounding it - including whether or not his body can stand up to the rigours of AFL footy - I don't know that we'd be able to get much more than a second round pick for him.

The trade with Collingwood for HL - a player who's still averaging 20 disposals a match, is only a year older than Mitch and has no injury issues - may not be as inequitable as it sounds.

He will be reminded I'm sure!

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
