The NAB Challenge

What annoys me most about Clark is that Nathan Jones is still his friend

Ok

Yes, how dare they have lives outside of football.

Along with Jones, Clark was our best player. I am more annoyed that he kicked 6 goals for a dynasty.

While MFC continues to struggle.

I'd like to see our supporters get more vocal about the inequality of the competition - than whinge that our captain is still mates with another former leader at the club.


Not that they were a big deal in the first place but these NAB matches have been devalued substantially since they became a "challenge" rather than a cup and there's no prize for the winner.

Even then, Paul Roos was never really interested in the results of games (I think he won only one pre season competition match in all those years at the Swans). And yet, some people are treating these games seriously. I didn't see much vision of last night's game but in quite a few of the highlights Mitch Clark was running around unattended and, at other occasions, he appeared to have Kyle Cheney on him. When they get to the real stuff and Hawkins is playing at full forward and opposition coaches really concentrate on stopping him with a bit of real pressure, we'll see how he really goes then.

Meanwhile, this is how the selection of the squads for Melbourne's game tomorrow is being looked at in the media:-

Johann Wagner who won The Recruit, in line for first NAB Challenge game

Jack Viney and Jack Watts return for Melbourne in their practice match at Ballarat on Saturday against a weakened Western Bulldogs side that will be missing captain Robert Murphy, Luke Dahlhaus, Jack Macrae, Koby Stevens and Lachie Hunter.

Interesting stat about Roos pre season comp form at Sydney. Goes to show these games are nothing much to him and his support coaches beyond using them as a opportunity to trial and fine tune.

Mitch Clark is 13cm taller and 13kg heavier than Kyle Cheney.

 

The idea that Clark would sue this website is excessively silly

Since you're not the one who'd face any action or its consequences, what you think is silly isn't particularly relevant.

I'm still allowed to point out how silly it is though

Any grown adult who thinks it through for a few seconds would have to reach the same conclusion

Nobody said you weren't. And I'm still allowed to point out that your 'all care no responsibility' attitude won't wash with those who actually have responsibilities.

What's an ungrown adult, by the way?

What coruscating wit. I'm undone.

And the old 'my posts are bigger than your posts'. Haven't seen that sort of inadequacy for a while.

'Ladies and Gentlemen of the court - I submit to you that Mitchell Clark has had his character defamed'... just working on my opener for this landmark case :I

There's no need to try to press your advantage. I've already deferred to your superior ignorance. Perhaps you can just leave it at that and spare me further humiliation.

Do you know the differences, by the way, between defamation law in Victoria and, say, the ACT? Choosing the hypothetical venue for displaying your actual stupidity matters, I think.

That's OK, just go ahead and link me to the article where a rich/famous person in the public eye has sued a small non-professional discussion forum because of anonymous comments of its posters

I just want to see the precedent on which your concerns are justified

Tht is hardly the point... they may not sue as such, but they certainly could get the site closed down.

There's no point arguing with him 'Tack, he has no grasp of the difference between possibility and likelihood, and even less grasp of the concept of responsibility.

What makes you think a precedent is required for prudent action? Fortunately businesses, government departments, websites and so on aren't being run by fools like you.

Edit: And here, try this one - https://www.efa.org.au/Issues/Censor/defamation.html

It makes the point in passing, and contrary to your uninformed opinionation, that defamation action is largely the preserve of the rich and famous.


even joe hockey is taking defamation action :lol:

And he insists it's to protect his reputation. :rolleyes:

Sounds like you need to start your own blog where you can say whatever you like about anyone you want.

Call it curry and beer land and register it under your personal "real life" name. See how long you last..

Ouch! They certainly breed them tough out in Hopping Dicks Creek. Well done sir.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
