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.

Nah, with the changing Twitter handle and deleting old Instagram posts he's just been laying the groundwork for the biggest heel turn since Hogan joined the nWo. And when it's all done we'll look back and go "how did we not see thay coming?"

Agreed.

I'm ok with him wanting to return home to Perth

Im not...wherever...whatever, other than playing for Melbourne is a flagrant lie and is contemptible.

Maybe I cant believe a word of his story now.

I am confused ... Mitch better not fool us all. I told my 2 boys that he was ill. Not a traitor. Perhaps its the Perth lifestyle.

Pick 50 from Freo ???

Pick 50, give me a break mate. They can give us Neal or he goes to St Kilda.

I

We are going to get [censored], I know it!

I don't we will get fuked per se....I think we got the right people leading us...People who actually have power and won't take shhit. Plus even if we do lose him, we will get good compensation, whether it be a priority pick or from trade.

Damn... thanks mate.

Still seems more likely to me that he started a new account and closed his old one. Would be a lot of effort deleting all those past posts. Being depressed, it makes sense he'd want to move on from where he was.

Let another club deal with his leg ridden injury.

Its a weight of our shoulders to be honest.

We had back issues when he was playing for Brisbane so obviously he is injury prone.

Doesn't surprise me though, the Rich get Richer and the Poor get poorer.

Hey yo!

Classic.

We are going to get [censored], I know it!

a that is exactly the mindset Roos wants to change at the club.

looks like we will get duded but I expect the club will extract a price.

When I moved here 12 years ago the first interaction I had with a Perth native was when he asked me if I was a "Holden or Ford man?"

Pretty much sums Perth up, v8's, jet skis with superchargers and expensive coffee.

I can't see Mitch moving back here for the lifestyle factor, it's not that great. If it was for family, he'd already be living here.

I'll reserve judgement until a decision is made public.

I'm not subscribing to the reporting of Jon Ralph and Purple just yet but if it is true, it's just so Melbourne Football Club.

Because none of us would have wanted to think he was anything other than a decent bloke.. Hindsight will offer up much to the contrary I suspect.

If he really told the club that he wants out because the losses/rebuild won't be good for his mental health, then he shouldn't be returning to competitive sport at all.

If all dealings are rational and the appropriate process is taken everyone comes out happy, but I just don't see it, looks like stuff is about to get messy. So much behind the scenes y'know, making me feel uncertain.

He is brave, i fear what PJ would/could do to a man.
PJ takes no prisoners, he will get us the best possible outcome.

According to 'Ed and Dermy' it will be a Melbourne based club. His partner is doing a course here. The Dees will play hard ball and seek a trade.

So many page so read so CBF but if it hasn't been said yet what would you rather?

Mitch delisted and MFC get nothing in return or Mitch decides he want to return but for another club and MFC get some reasonable trade value.

I understand the angst as well as anyone but if he doesn't want to play for the MFC at least we get something from it rather than SFA!

His partner it seems is doing a course that we paid for according to another post. Does anyone know if this is fact.

Essentially I agree. Caveat Emptor to his next home.. I want a an arm , a leg and a pint of blood for it all though.

%$@! Melbourne being the pushovers.

I feel dirty for ever considering him a class act.

Hey Mr Roos.....whats your opinion.??

Rhetorical I know but love to know what Paul really REALLY thinks about all this. Doesnt he despise such players ?

still waiting to hear concrete news before i go bananas

Cant trust a thing that comes from those mouth breathers Damian Barratt and Jon Ralph

Edited September 7, 201411 yr by hogans_heroes

It was said on 'Ed and Dermy' she was doing a course and that was why he was likely to play for a Vic club. No mention of who is paying for the course but it was mentioned that MC received a very generous payout from the Dees!!

Unlikley we would be paying for the course direcly - not an issue anyway.

That's bloody ridiculous mate. Wait for the facts instead of the opinions of two half formed humans.

Agree but it seems there may well be fire behind this particular smoke.

I have got a very bad feeling about where this is heading and IT DOESN'T BODE WELL FOR MFC

I'll wait for the facts on this one as he may not even make it back, but I expect that if he decides to play elsewhere that we play hard ball. Thankfully he is still on our list so it gives us some room to move.

If he does want to play elsewhere I'll be pretty disappointed in a bloke we showed faith in and supported during a dark period of his life.
