Mitch at the Cats

Featured Replies

Wonder where he'll head after Geelong finally fall in a heap, once their premiership players finally drop off the perch.

 

He didn't deliberately get injured while playing for us, and was gold for the first half of 2012, he should of stayed with us though.

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.

I had to unfollow him. I was getting very close to become a keyboard warrior and letting him have it, but he's not worth lowering my colours, so i deleted him.

His tweets about getting behind the cats and the fans down there in Geelong,actually make me feel sick.....no time for this bloke.


I am not one of those people who like seeing opposition players injured, no matter how much I may despise them. I had too many footy injuries of my own to want anyone else to suffer in a similar way. The only exception was seeing Whelan flatten Hird which I enjoyed immensely!

So when it comes to Mitch Clark, I don't want to see him in physical pain or declining in mental health - I just hope the Geelong venture is an absolute failure. There is a part of me that wants Frost or Dunn to run straight through him but deep down I don't really want that to happen. I'm just disgusted with the way he left our club. I didn't like it when so many MFC players left over the past decade (Rivers, Moloney, McLean Scully etc...) and the Scully one was horrible, but I have never felt so burned by a player as when Mitch Clark left.

The bloke is a gun when on song. But I am truly looking forward to the first journalist to write "Clark dropped to reserves until he finds form".

 

It seems Mitch Clark has questionable integrity. To me, he epitomises many of the negative aspects of Gen Y - strikes me as quite a self absorbed guy: the constant tweeting, his assembly of 'look at me' stickers, his naive artistic calling, his poor treatment of this club.

That said - he is simply an unbelievable footballer. The start to 2012 was the only thing I looked forward to each game. I loved seeing him in the red and blue and will always remember some of his performances for us.

I find it sad that it turned out this way. It needn't have.

Very happy we got Lumumba though.

No time for the guy.

I hope we don't have to read much more on him here this year.

There will the infrequent thread pop up every now and then just like it did with Scully as we vented and purged as was necessary.

I know it's not healthy, but I would have MC in my top 5 of the most punchable heads in footy right now.


The bloke really pisses me off. Having to hear him pedalling the I am Geelong line and see him pumping up the cats on social media is such a slap in the face to Melbourne supporters.

Different if he had of gone quietly and been humble but he is carrying on like an excited first year player and blowing smoke up the arse of the Geelong Footy Club, just as it did when he first came to the MFC!

The bloke is a fraud. He has severe personality disorder. Rumoured to have nailed a past MFC players girlfriend while engaged too. Love to know more to that story. The very fact he hides behind the veil of depression makes me sick. I saw photos of him smashing booze with the MFC players supposedly during the height of his depression. He lied to Brisbane and then did the same to us.

No well wishes from me.

I admire people giving it to him on social media. The weak dog never answers any questions. Just replies with "like you'd know" "coz you understand my situation" blah blah. Just a big load of B.S.

Further reiterates that he really is just an attention seeking grub. Anyone with half a brain under that much pressure would just put their head down and get on with it without drawing attention to themselves. After all, wasn't the whole point of moving to Geelong to "get away from it all" so he could focus on recovery in peace?

He's drawing attention to himself to gain sympathy (a common trait with depression) with zero care for the feelings of the MFC supporters he so brazenly [censored] over.

umm why do we have a thread on this lying sack of [censored]?

I just view all the players as people who are passing through the club - they either do well or they don't. The club is what is important ... to me, it's all about the team.

The club is always bigger than any individual ... it pays not to get too attached to any individual person who is or has been associated with the club (unless they are great for the club for a good length of time)

People like Warne-Smith, Norm Smith, Stynes, Barassi and Flower et al created their own special category - most others can only aspire to the greatness of people like that.

Clark fell way short - I moved on the minute he left.

'Macca', I have no problem with Clark moving on but I do have a big problem with him using the depression card. He did so many people a disservice with that one.

I didn't take a lot of notice of that stuff from Clark - It's not that I don't care about issues like that but I tend to view sport in a different way. We've all got our own issues to deal with - Clark is no different.

There's not much we can do with regards to a players personal issues and besides all that, how much do we really know about that side of things?

I'd rather just judge him on his football - he was never that good in all reality. A half decent player in a really poor team. Being one of the better players of a very bad bunch (for a very short space of time) never impressed me. He might do well at the Cats but that's up to him.

He didn't want to play for us and in the end, that's all that matters. We've now got players who do want to play for us and that's where my care factor lies. Jones re-signing & Lumumba wanting to come to us are 2 such examples of that.

I just want the truth to come out soon.

Something just didn't add up. I get the feeling the club was more then happy for Clark to leave.

Isn't it obvious?

Questionable character and fragile psyche.

An unreliable key pillar is not the foundation to build a side upon.

But the cats are bullish about his ability to perform for them.

As were we, once.

Fair call.

I believe the only time Roosy referred to him as 'arguably the clubs best player', was when we were right in the middle of the draft assistance request. When that was a lost cause I think Mitch got the mail.

I believe your comments to be true, a lot more to this than meets the eye, the club couldn't off load the bludger quick enough.

Interesting.

You seem to know alot more in detail.

I disagree. I reckon the club were just as filthy on him as we were, but had to play a straight bat in public. Roos did refer to him as our best player at some stage last year. I seriously doubt he was happy to lose him.

Roos said the same thing about Frawley, wish him to stay, then tried to window dress him for a bargain sale as a multi positional possibility, and won a round one pick.

 

Who is Mitch Clark?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
