Wost case scenario is he stays, our PP is rejected due to Clark and Hogan coming back next year and then we dilute our Frawley pick with dudd Free Agents.

If the worst case scenario is the injection of Clark and Hogan into our forward line with the addition of multiple experienced role players in exchange for the massively overrated James Frawley, I'll be pretty happy.

One day there'll be a thread that doesn't mention Neeld.

I live in hope.

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?

I'm not running the forum per se, I'm an employee of the forum on a very poor hourly rate. (read: volunteer)

I don't normally mind people posting what they claim is inside info as people can make up their own mind what they believe, but on this occasion it has triggered mass hysteria that has at best been unhelpful, and at worst has been damaging. We've had to go on a post deleting spree as a result due to posters unleashing on Clark when this story is clearly nowhere near complete; and believe me his post got legs beyond Demonland.

If it wasn't for the fact that everyone so many here seem to take what this person has to say as 100% fact, I wouldn't have bothered raising my objection.

Mitch looks in good shape

clark on talking footy:

i love melbourne, would love to play there. haven't spoken to roosy yet. keen to get back. asking for some privacy, training over the next few weeks, meet with roosy and go from there. confident he can get back.

watson on us:

mfc resigned to the fact that if he does come back it won't be to us.

duck on clark:

he owes melbourne (watson agreed).

watson says hawks are the favourites to secure his services.

both darcy and carey think that'd be unacceptable. duck keeps mentioning 'he owes melbourne'.

Ahhh, fair enough. Still, that kind of stuff is always going to happen, no?

We all appreciate your efforts, as you know!

Duck just shook his head over managers comments

........, judging a person who has been clinically diagnosed as having serious depression.

in all fairness hardtack, this comment is just hearsay

i haven't see any of his doctors give a public statement on their exact diagnosis

psychiatry anyway is a very imprecise science

a good friend of mine has/had a very bad experience with "depression" to the point of being physically incapacitated (and is still not out of the woods after 10 years).

He must have seen 20 different psychiatrists and psychologists, been on nearly every medication available and he still has had not had one consistent definitive diagnosis.

He has had plenty of differing diagnoses though

i don't doubt mc has had a debilitating mental condition but you or i shouldn't attempt to define it or its magnitude

His manager saying Mitch did us a 'massive favor' by removing himself from the list and in turn giving us a list spot

Hahaha Wayne Carey's face is priceless.

You can tell he wants to say something he can't. Looks very unhappy that Clark would dare leave Melbourne.

Clinton Young is a piece of work. Clark did us a favour by walking away from his contract did he? We payed him handsomely for 12 games and he did us a favour? How about the support we showed him while he was battling depression?

Give us a break you scumbag manager.

Hawthorn??? You would have to be absolutely [censored] kidding me.

Can't believe his manager said that Clark did Melbourne a favour by walking away and freeing up a spot. What a slimeball.

So many mixed messages, don't know what to believe.

Why would Hawthorn be interested in him, where does he sit on their list?

An earlier comment joked about Gunstan but frankly I wouldn't accept much less. Who else would you take on their list?

Lets be honest, all signs say that he is preparing to completely [censored] us.

Wow .. let's keep in mind this bloke was getting thousands a week from us as well as tons of support and the support has been ongoing

Yep he did us a favour ... Wow

What time is Roosy on 360 ?

Looked like Darcy wanted to say some thing about him going to the hawks. I've heard him talk about clubs like us and the dogs just becoming feeder clubs.

Probably should have talked with the club before going on the telly Somethin aint right obviously

Can't believe his manager said that Clark did Melbourne a favour by walking away and freeing up a spot. What a slimeball.

That's in effect what happened by Clark retiring and finalising a package terminating his contract.

Got a feeling this story has a lot to play out yet

His manager saying Mitch did us a 'massive favor' by removing himself from the list and in turn giving us a list spot

I heard that too, ridiculous.

Why does this club has to constantly go through so much shite.

The only thing that has come from Mitch is that he would love to come back to Melbourne and he will talk to roos so maybe this is just all a big media storm for nothing. Wait and see what roos has to say

Can anyone who was watching speculate on the chance Mitch has of playing with us next year?
