GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

[chook fowler 19,533]

Recently GNF said Clark would only play for the Dees. Wonder what he knows?

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Sounds like Barrett just trying to pry things out.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Barrett might be taking the fact that other clubs have contacted Mitch and running with it, I can't see how Mitch wouldn't feel he owes the club

Sounds like Barrett just trying to pry things out.

I don't think so. Not now the club has come out.

Barrett had a quote from Clark's manager. The Club comes out effectively saying Mitch hasn't spoken to them about it, saying the expect Mitch would talk to them. I take that to mean they (Mitch or manager) have been talking to others.

Would a team want to take the risk on him after the shet we just went through with his foot?

[CBDees 3,167]

What im worried about is because he is delisted, and just say he decides to comeback next year, isnt he fair game for any club to draft?

Maybe we could get a special compensation from the AFL that because he had depression and the special circumstances that he be allowed to go to his club of choice which would be us.

Go onto the MFC website and you will see that he is still on our list. We don't have to redraft him, just let him remain on the list!

Pav cant go on forever.

Ross Lyon you dirty bustard.

It would be bloody heartbreaking if we got bent over by a bloke we bent over backwards for.

heartbreaking wouldn't be my first choice of word.

[Jarka 767]

There has been no quotes from his manager or himself saying that he does not want to play with Melbourne, something a lot of people are ignoring.

I would have thought that should Mitch be looking at a comeback and doing so with the Dees then it would be a very simple thing to affect.

That this isnt the path apparently predicted and advertised suggests to me he is indeed seeking an alternative home.

Ill wait for something to actually happen though.

Maybe not as much as people give him credit for.

At the moment it's Damian Barrett's word over GNF's. No other sources provided.

I'm sticking with GNF, whose track record is solid, until there is some sort of reputable source or, preferably, direct word from Clark or his manager.

I would have thought that should Mitch be looking at a comeback and doing so with the Dees then it would be a very simple thing to affect.

I also would have thought that should be wanting to leave his manager could just have come out and said it. Instead, he simply said Clark's looks likely to want to play again next year.

It's all very weird.

[Pirlo 813]

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.

Yep. One thing they can do is just come out and say it.

Worries me that Mahoney seems to be out of the loop, but perhaps it all ties in with what Grand New Flag said.

[beelzebub 23,383]

Yes T-U

Tis odd indeed

how?

[Whispering_Jack 30,641]

It would be helpful if Mitch's manager would clarify the situation. I think the club is owed that much in the situation.

And there's also still no comment saying he would only considering coming back to us to repay the support..... This from a bloke who tweets regularly! So clearly if they remain silent you can choose to have your head in the sand, others will take that as a real indication of something more.

So it is said.

If he comes back for anyone other than us he really is the scumbag that Brisbane supporters said he was.

He is allowed to go to a Perth team...but we better get decent compensation...top 20 pick

Should be de-registered if he tries this [censored].

Mitchs latest tweet

the girl removed her tweet though, anyone know what she said?

IF so, then yes, absofreakinglutely!!! IMO....

[Pirlo 813]

how?

Smoke and mirrors, taking the pressure off him by playing games etc.

I would be very surprised if we haven't been talking to him, but I could certainly see a situation where the club put faith in Clark's values by signing off on a severance package that removed any 'debt of service' if you will and allowed a clean break.

Depression is a volatile disease, I know this first hand, but you'd have to be a real dog to come back and go elsewhere. Depression sucks, but it doesn't remove all responsibility on a sufferer.

And yes, it is just football. But if MC leaves and goes to a different Melbourne club and they say 'it's just football', then he can go do something else because this is all part of it.

I repeat that Mitch could come out and say something to stop the whispers, especially if he's well enough for his manager to announce he might make a comeback.

half agree. But if he did stay in perth and played for a WA team then it wouldnt bother me because I presumed he was back in Perth permanently. I thought Freo would make sense because they need a forward to help pav, but if he was end up at a melbourne club id be angry
