GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

The Song Formerly Known As
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Ummm how about letting the supporters know what's going on.

That's what the club will do, an unsubstantiated rumour tells us nothing and just causes more angst.

 

too late nut, he's already been blamed for all things past, present and future

Perhaps we can blame Mitch Clark for Jack Watts? :)
 

Do you not think the club has the right to tell its own story, once everything has played out? Which it clearly hasn't by the way, given that the stories in the media are conflicting.

Anyway, glad GNF's post made you feel better :)

How many times over the years has the club treated it's supporters with contempt and not bothered enlightening us with any details or just giving us spin? I dont see any reason why someone shouldn't post info on here unless they are betraying personal confidences by doing so.

They can post all they like, that so many take it as the truth of the matter probably says more about group mentality than anything else.

Back to work for me, I'm sure there will be a few more pages to look at in another couple of hours.


If Clark says he'd love to stay at Melbourne but then doesn't, it means one of two things:

1. He's lying to the public to protect his reputation

2. Melbourne / Roos don't want him. Which begs the question why??

IF case 1 his reputation will be totally stuffed - he would be remembered as nothing more than a mercenary who totally screwed a struggling club that stood steadfastly by him in his darkest hours.

I think / hope he is bigger and better than that.

mentally soft, history of burning clubs, severe foot injury, has played 15 games in 3 years

How many reasons do you want

So you'd rather pick 18 from Hawthorn than risk getting back our best player?

Have you seen our goal kicking ability lately?

Unless Roos knows we can get something seriously great for him, or he has put a very high price on his head (in which case how can Hawthorn afford him?), it really makes no sense.

Anyone know of a way to watch 360 over the net?

Bump...personally, I think he is Gawny
 

"Around 100%" is probably somewhere less than 100% - that is exactly my point. If it were me, I would not post something that was going to cause a riot among MFC fans unless I was willing to put my name and my sources name to it. Without that, I just don't see how you could treat it as anything less than another hypothetical.

I'm clearly on my own (or in a very small crowd), so I won't carry on about it any further.

Surely what he wrote wasnt much if a surprise anyway - can you put 2 & 2 together and figure out what's going on?


Gunston for Clark anyone?? Haha I jest to all those who might think im serious..

It sounds to me like mfc will get first crack at Mitch it he is 100% on coming back

We need a ruckman with Jamar nearly finished & Mitch could be a great replacement. Roosy needs to keep that in mind before trading him.

Hawks wont give us there 1st rounder.

Personally I'd demand Sheils for Clark.


I know for a fact, 100%, that the club have people that read this website. Information leaked by a viable source from inside the club and then being posted on this site may happen once, but there is very little chance that it would be allowed to happen again.

That is not such a bad deal IMO.

Gunston is a goer vs a bloke with a serious foot injury and serious mental problems that may not play again.

I would take it.

Guns ton is a goer vs a bloke with a serious foot injury and serious mental problems that may not play again.

I would take it.

And why would Hawthorn?

That was Alex Sakadjian that Mitch was training with on the news. He is the MFC sport science coordinator. They have been working on a Misson program since Mitch was back in training.

unfortunately hawthorn would have to employ Neeld to do that trade..

Guess I must be the only one who is skeptical when someone says "I talked to my guy at the club and...." in an anonymous setting. I've only read it on Demonland a thousand times before. Maybe if I knew who his contacts were and, indeed, who he was.

I've no doubt GNF does know someone at the club (I don't think he's making it all up), but I simply cannot, ever, count on a poster I don't know as delivering 100% gospel. He deals in rumours, not facts, in my eyes. And I still question his motives.

Carry on.

Love your work Nasher, but running a football forum then asking why someone would post inside info on it is a bit confusing in itself. Why exactly are you running Demonland if not for people to discuss things like this, whether fact or fiction?

And they don't and they won't

It's the reaction to posters treating the post as gospel, not the post.

If Clark says he'd love to stay at Melbourne but then doesn't, it means one of two things:

1. He's lying to the public to protect his reputation

2. Melbourne / Roos don't want him. Which begs the question why??

2. Simply because if Clark doesn't want to play for the MFC then why play him? If you really want to leave then its in the best interest of both club and player, especially if its an early contract release. That goes for any player. Whilst I will be criticized for this, I truly believe the MFC are better off without Mitch. Midfield is a more pressing for the club. Anyway just my opinion

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
