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.

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

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • 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.
