I see an article on the 9 news re MC and his new home down Kardinia Park way. Hope he can get fit and cope with the pressure down there because it will be absolutely relentless. If he is in any way crook physically or mentally he will fizz. I am led to believe he has yet to join in most general training and has a long way to go. I thought he was "In a good place " when taken by the [censored] and had turned his mind into a positive train of thinking, as well. Ah well, the Cats can have him, we only want players who are committed to our cause and not just gravy train boarders. Sad really. But then again, those who fiddle with the truth will eventually......................well, you all know!

Mitch Clark is a hell of a footballer. It is possible the Cats will get a good year out of him at some stage - it is unlikely Clark will back that up.

A quick glance through Clark's football record says that he has a hard time staying on the park. The extent that is even physical is questionable.
IMO Mitch Clark always needs attention, no matter what. It wouldn't surprise me if Clark could be on the park much more than he has been.

It's going to be an interesting 3-4 years in evaluating the Clark trade. Geelong has gone in with high risk, high reward in Clark, who at is best is clearly the best player in the deal, and someone who if fit for long enough could help keep Geelong in premiership contention. Melbourne has taken the most proven, durable and consistent player in the deal, in a position and playing style the side desperately needs. We aren't in position to take too many punts on players and it's a definite upgrade over our other running backmen, even if he does spend time in the middle. And Collingwood has furthered its 2015 stealth tanking mode with the acquisition of a genuine dud. Wins all round.

I don't. He can go to hell and stay there as far as I'm concerned.

Why is there a thread on this dog, he is lower than the dirt on Tom scullys boots

Now that's very harsh wattsup, a dog has way more loyalty than that snake (MC).

It's all a little too convenient in the way it's turned out for Mitch.

Player driven environment from all reports - wonder if the senior guys back themselves in to help Mitch through . Anyway .

Stealth tanking mode....I like it and will pass that on to mates who support the filth.

Now the next great white hope for Collingwood, Darcy Moore, is off the tracks for 3 months.

Collingwood might just really struggle next year. Their list is a mix of very old and very young, with not much talent in-between. And continuing tensions between players and coach are never conducive to a successful team environment.

But anyway, I'd rather talk about the filth than this filthy bastard, whom I'll happily never see in our proud colours again. He's shown him low character for the whole footy world to see; Geelong can have him. Hope he never plays another game.

3 weeks not months.

Personally I think Collingwood have some up and coming young talent. But very injury.prone.

There is a reason why this place went into melt down when the rumour surfaced about him moving clubs. He is a bloody good player when fit, he will rip it up at the cats. The only thing that will stop him is injuries.

They are the clear winners in that trade. At least we got some very good compensation for him rather than nothing.

Him leaving the club for medical reasons still doesnt sit right with me. I think there is a lot more to the story than we are being told.

My bad, only skimmed the article. Shouldn't set him back too far then, but Filth supporters will be expecting him to kick 3 goals a game from round one.

They have a heap of good young talent in waiting. They will really be back in force in a few years if they play their cards well. Next year though? They have lost Beams. If Swan continues his downwards form trend then it leaves a lot to Pendlebry.

If Pendelbry gets an injured, it means that Sidebottom or someone similar will cop the close tag. They will fall apart. Cant remember Pendlebry getting injured very often though.

Pendles is a lot like our own cap, body very rarely fails him.

For my own personal satisfaction, I hope Collingwood implode to an extent for a few years. Yes, I'm just vindictive when it comes to the Filth.

According to Chris Scott on Nine News tonight: "All the indications are that round one's a pretty good target for Mitch"

Wouldn't round one be a "pretty good target" for every player in every team in the AFL, injury history or not? Sounds like an empty, vague quote from Scott (hardly unexpected).

Let them keep building up the pressure cooker on Clark; he's shown he can't handle it when push comes to shove.

We have Lumumba. A reliable, solid bodied premiership backman.

As much as I liked Mitch's best football, there wasn't much of it. We have done well from this debacle.

I couldnt handle the stress when MC played for us. Every pack mark he went for he would take out every player And KO him self.

I hope he plays like that and injures him self and Hawkins.

I still follow the guy on Twitter, his pro-Geelong tweets are so phony. Did the exact same thing when he came to us. He sucked me in then, he's not going to suck me in now.

Anyway, Lumumba is ours now, more than fair compensation. We can move forward from the whole debacle. But I still hope his career at Geelong is a failure.

His instagram is just as worse. Pretends that he is emotionally attached to the club then goes and

does the dirty.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
