Geelong are the big winners in this, if Clark's foot holds.

Big effing if.

    I'm not sure any of these trades will have much impact in 2015 and beyond.

    Lamumba might release Howe forward and he has probably got a starting spot for the next two years at the Dees.

    Clark might or might not play. Certainly a bloke his size who plays the way he does is inviting injury.

    Varcoe - not sure how he fits in Collingwood's best 22. Half back? Defensive small forward?

    ZZZzzzz.

    Are you kidding me?

    Two of their best performers from last season for a bloke that has played one good season at North, Travis Varcoe and Pick 5?

    If they get Pick 5 right and if Greenwood becomes their 3rd best mid - then they win.

    Otherwise, their slide will long continue.

    I think the Pies have lost honestly.

    Beams is an absolute star and Lamumba (or whatever his name is) I believe was an All- Australian.

    Varcoe is average at best, Greenwood has had one good year but I think will be a solid citizen, pick 5 and Crisp are unknowns.

    I'd be filthy if I was a scum supported

    Fair points. Without question they have are down with the loss of Beams.

    I guess I was only surprised with how much they got back. You two have put it in a little better perspective for me.

    Mitch Clark is a [censored] and I wish him nothing but injury and misfortune for the rest of his career. He made many of us believe in him and that he cared about the MFC but as we now know his whole personality is a fraud and he used his "depression" as an excuse to get out of the club and move on elsewhere. Whether we wanted him on the list or not is besides the point, Clark should of put his hand up to be on a rookie list and work hard on the off season to prove he deserved a spot in order to repay all we did for him. Instead he packed his suitcase full of cash and [censored] off to Geelong to take some more photos. Up ya ar$e Mitch, break a leg!

    We may or may not be winners, but we're the most sure about what we're getting. I'm happy.

    I'm somewhat bemused that it took so long though given the relative lack of complexity of the deal

    Reported that Varcoe wanted 4 years but only got offered three = hold up

    I'll take at face value that Clark's medical advice was not to return to his old workplace as to do so might risk a return of depression. On that basis, Clark was never coming back to us and we've effectively got Lumumba for nothing. I can't see how that's a negative for us.

    I don't know why, maybe it's finally set in but now for once I feel infuriated with Clark going to the Cats. Maybe it was the poorly Photoshopped image, I'm not sure.

    Now (to me anyway) he is nothing more that a feral moggy that swipes at the hand that feeds him.

    Photoshopped?! I thought that was a pic he set up himself by the quality of it...

    I wish no such physical or mental misfortune on him. I just hope he olays sh it against us if he can ever get on the park.

    Smell ya later Mitch. Thanks for the memories.

    Welcome Harry. People give you too much shite. I always liked you, so I'm glad to see you at the Dees.

    Maybe we should focus on the positive on landing the great man Heri!!! It begins from here. Goooo dddeeessss!!!

    Scully and Clark are synonyms for deceit and Pecksniffs.

    SCully's a saint compared to the latter filthy piece of turd.

    I cannot believe anybody here believed Clark was sick

    Gessus we are a weak club

    Horatio is a different cat. But he fronts up every week.

    He trains hard, prepares well and gets the best from himself.

    There's no surprises for us. He'll carry it 20 and bomb it 50 to no one. But that's an upgrade on captain Jack kicking tumble punts out on the full.

    And still no comment from MC to the fans who supported him so whole wholeheartedly. Nothing. Nada. Zip. To be honest that is what i find so disappointing. Take the motion out of it and players change clubs.

    As i have said he doesn't owe the club anything, no more than the clubs owes something to someone like Clisby who we cut or to contracted players we may soon sack. But i reckon he does owe something to demons fans. He owes us some sot of explanation. Something more than 'yeah i would love to play for the dees again' and then complete media silence. That is what has made me lose respect for him.

    Welcome to the Dees, H! Like others, I choose to view this in a positive light. Lumumba is essentially a freebie since I never thought Clark was coming back. Collingwood get ripped off and end up giving a list clogger three years. It's a good day.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
