GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

Featured Replies

Joining the dots but Roosy sussing Mitch out making sure he is going to be up to it once traded to the pies for Lamumba. Good mate Perty to gamble on a big forward like good mate Ross on Col - slightly ahead on that one.

 

I felt for Mitch but feel like he has taken the money and now run. Did he just want out !!

AFL should give MFC an end of 1st round pick and put Mitch up for the trade period to the best offer.

In regards to compensation, I think we need to face some facts here. We gave up pick 12 for him, he's now 2 years older, with a dodgy foot, well-documented mental health issues, and is starting to emerge as a guy with 'questionable' morals.

Had a good start to 2012 before the injury but that was a long time ago.

Might get a second rounder if we're lucky.

 

Cmon people it's a MFC and MC conspiracy ta get trade or compo and money for MC and his manager...............sorry but it's about time we became the shafter an not the shafted.............oh bugger i'm dream'n

How do you know this?

Mate of mine is on the footy staff and I asked him

I would say GNF is right on the money again. Can't understand the doubters or those that question his motives for posting - might just be he is as angry as every other supporter and feels the truth should be known.

Part of me is kind of excited... I mean. He was just dead weight before. I think any team he goes to, he'll be damaged goods. I think he'll likely struggle a bit, not play many games, and then leave knowing he did everything he could. If we get a JKH for him... is that the worst thing in the world?

 

Confused.

Didn't Mitch state in another interview that he will meet with Roos soon? But Roos is saying they met today??

Maybe Mitch meant he'd be meeting North Melbourne soon?

What's being played out in public, and what us really going on behind the scenes could be two completely different things.

Can't wait till this crap is over.


I thought you had very little hope anyway? ;)

I didn't have much hope, but after about an hour on the twitters, some hope was revived. I really wanted Roosy to get in there tonight and hold up a selfie of him and Mitch Clark hugging it out, and then say Mitch had signed a 3 year deal on $100k a year because he didn't need the money after we paid him ~$100k a game in his career at the dees to date. And that Mitch was really looking forward to strapping on the boots etc etc..

Question is how much is mitch worth, given his track record of taking the money and running for rehab, what will anyone pay him, i doubt he would be getting 750k from anyone with that record, How would a club take him on knowing that he has depression that could recur, I would suspect only a club that had a pretty good level of confidence that he was over it. which is pretty good because getting over depression is not something truly disappears.

Who even wants this guy at the club anymore after watching the way he and his manager have played this? I would love to know what the inner sanctum of players are feeling right now, especially the leadership group.

Who knows, maybe this will be a galvanizing moment for the list.. (heard that before).

I think this is the best thing to happen to our prospects of getting a first round PP.

It was all a public opinion issue for the AFL, we deserved one but wouldn't get one - because the football public would whinge.

Now public opinion is firmly in our corner in regards to this Clark issue, this paves the way for the AFL to give us top compo.

Happy days.


I still do not see why the AFL would give us a compo pick, there reason for them to do so, the other clubs are not going to just say give melbourne a compo pick because mitch wants to go to Hawthorn, or Essendon.

See ya Mitch who bloody cares.

Mate seriously? Too soon.

I went there once, never been the same.

None of us are....far better for it :)

Well, we know he isn't going to Essendon because Tim Watson wouldn't be saying he owes Melbourne.

What exactly has Clark done? Do you have it on good authority he has actually said or done anything. Talk about a hair-trigger response. If you look up the expression "jumping at shadows" in the Greater Oxford Illustrated Dictionary, you will see a photo of a Demonland poster.

pffft... Mitch Clark has left our club via a false retirement.. Does he even have an illness? Who knows... you can believe what you want....

My post was reactionary... But after years and years of players leaving, after showing promise... Can you blame me? This year we will lose our best forward and our best defender and along with the many other who have parted the club, through varied circumstances... I'm seriously doubting our clubs ability to hold on to players...

Stop doing this. And Jurrah? Please.

 

Maybe Mitch meant he'd be meeting North Melbourne soon?

Actually, he said he'll be meeting Mel Bourne, acclaimed photography critic.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
