We are the Melbourne Football Club. We have existed for 152 years and we have won 12 premierships.

Great players have graced our fields and given their all for nothing more than being part of the club. Some of those players have won flags and others like the great Robbie Flower just gave their all.

Mitch Clark played 12 games and took a few million dollars from us.

Will be the most hated player in history if he screws us over.

The good thing is that we have a competent administration and an A1 coach who will get the best result for the MFC, whether that's with MC or without.

Something which we haven't had for a very long time.

Needed some positivity so listened to Rooseys B&F speech. Our club is in good hands and I'm sure they will make the best of this situation but the circumstantial evidence is mounting that Mitch has been playing us like a violin and will end up being more reviled than any player I can recall.

Now that's a big call Gallus. Let's have some details.

The one thing that gives me confidence is our CEO is competent and appears to have a big pair of kahunas, PJ will be up for the fight! And will ensure we get something out of this. It appears MC colours are finally being shown. I'll be very interested to see how this plays out.

I hope we can negotiate a good outcome for the club.

To me anything less than Mitch playing with us next year just means we have been fooled again.

What a lot of weasle words Ive had to read about his condition.

Wondering if he went to the B&F. As a listed player he was entitled to. If he didn't go that is also telling.

Not really he is probably a very nice guy.

I think we should wait to pass judgement.

But hey,I liked the first part.

I agree rjay. I'm not sure what GNF has done or said to gain such implicit trust on the forum. Just another rumour monger IMO.

He seems to have the "inside word" of someone at the club but like journos he's only as good as his sources. What he has passed on could very well have been the understanding of the club which has since been shown to be incorrect.

Until today, the impression we all had was that he wasn't talking Melbourne because it was all too hard to be around it all.

Reported on 'Ed and Dermy' that MC's manager stated he would come back but not with the Dees'. He is still listed and the Dees were likely to play hard ball and seek a trade. There was some shock/horror about the hard ball which softened just a tad when it was revealed that he had received a very generous pay out from the Dees. Mentioned that it was likely a Vic club.

No mention of value in terms of picks or players. Maybe around 20+ or a swap for Labamba - maybe why the meeting with Roos????

Hmmmmm, Roos would get the quick line breaking half back he wants, a swap for Mitchell boosts the midfield he says needs class as does the return of Trengove. That still leaves pick 2 for Brayshaw, Petracca or one of the talls - plus Stretch!!!! All we need to do then is to fluke a gun with our second rounder!!! Oh, and don't wake me up as I am enjoying this dream!!!!!

Thnx DN9

This plus the Twitter a/c comments above is stongly pointing to him, if he plays again it won't be with the MFC. Maybe another team has got to him.

Afterall, he has already proven he can be bought! Has also proven he is not a man of his word.

We fell for his charm fellow DL's.

Shattered by the betrayal.

Clark left Brissy a similar way .

His contract will have to be exited with all the legal stuff in order.

If it is going to make him miserable here and the rumours are true then he should go to perth.

At the moment we don't know.

If he tries to get to a WA club I reckon Melbourne should do what we can to get him there and take whatever we get back (late pick).

If he's trying to get to a different Vic club stuff him, refuse to deal and force him into the PSD and tell him we'll draft him again with our 2nd pick.

Posted (edited)

You can't change your handle on instagram, you have to start a new one. If he wanted the pressure of the number 11 gone and to take a step back from the footy world then he'd have to open a new account which is why all his old posts wouldn't be there.

Makes sense hey? Some people here are very quick to turn on a much loved and respected player.

Edit: I stand corrected.

Agreed.

I'm ok with him wanting to return home to Perth and would encourage our club to help make this happen. To be fair, if he wanted back home he would be there already. I know his partner studies here, but that's an easy transfer.

He's back in Melbourne presumably because he wants to be. If he wants to go to another club to chase success, then I hope we play hardball and get the best deal for us.

Enough getting screwed. We deserve better!

If this is all true then so be it.

He is one player and the team does not rise or fall on one player. If he wants to leave then he is better out of the club rather than sitting on our list clogging it up whilst he returns. He will be missed but as Paul Roos said at the B n F "We are in this together and if your not - you know where you can go"

I think we have collectively given MC every consideration and to be left swinging in the breeze without a statement, makes me want the club to go as hard as possible.

Well that's just weird.

I do have one theory, is it possible his account got hacked and he had to change his name?

It happened to me with Twitter where all of a sudden lots of weird stuff started appearing in my feed and I had to change my name and password.

I am probably clutching at straws here.

Come to the dark side Jaded....

I say this not as anything other than to suggest the "trending" of all this now seems to be quite clear. To review the recent past without Rosey '11" coloured glasses suggests there is nothing 'spur of the moment " about any of this

There's no joy here. Actually deep and unfettered sadness. As you put before there's a loss of belief. We had a right as a club, as a group of followers to believe that he was an honourable man .

Starting to feel a lot like Charlie Brown !!!

There was a (not unreasonable) suggestion here on DL that that comment from roos was directed at frawley. Perhaps it was actually about MC. Again I wonder if the request for a pp is related to this development.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
