The AFL continues to morph into a premier league, with the top teams cherry picking who they need to keep themselves clear of the pack.

Sorry, just realised there was an NAB thread... shows how much i have been paying attention.
 

he is trending on twitter and he also took a hanger. Why do I get the awful feeling Geelong are going to get the good Mitch Clark, the injury free one. It would be just our luck.

What a [censored]. Retired my ar$e.

I have the upmost respect for people that carry on with depression but this is beyond his illness. He chose to retire and walk out on us. See any dees players tweeting tonight saying congrats?

Put money on him for the Coleman

My feeling is he was forced to leave by the AFL. Just a feeling. But there is more to this story.

But yes. He will play his best for them.

The [censored] thing is how it will get played out in the media that geelong brought the best out in him when we all knew how good he was.
 

Still in disbelief in what a shambles this all turned into. I think I would've preferred it if he had just gone out and said "I don't want to play for Melbourne anymore" at the end of the year rather than "retiring". Watch out for incoming "feel good footy stories"

The media narrative will continue along the lines of Geelong, Hawthorn, South having 'great cultures' - that being the reason why they attract players. In reality these clubs are firewalled from failure they have guaranteed access to finals and premierships.

I don't really care what the reason is..i just wish it was made public


because once again we have been shafted so a top side gets a gun and we are still down below sea level



Mitch Clark getting a free ride at Geelong and James Hird still coaching Essendon is really testing my fabric towards the game



I am amazed the media have accepted the Black Dog scenario...they are all happy for him...



We lose a power forward without a word being said...



Whole thing stinks.



P.S. i hope some journalists are reading these threads because it is time the real stories were given air

Yep, 100% spot on.

Brings me back to the next game against Geelong at Kardinia Park after 186. Our first goal was kicked by Clark after some fantastic solo scrambling and what ended up a miraculous goal by him. Not one team mate went up to congratulate him. Something smelled off even then.

I agree WYL. The cover ups and saving face stuff done by the AFL really pisses me off.

Maybe Hird just seen things for what they were.

Essendon fit the bill as a side that can't make ground on the top sides through the legitimacy of the competition.

I understand what James Hird has done, I'd like to have to a chat to him over a few cans actually.

Not saying it was right, it wasn't, drugs shouldn't be allowed into sport at all, but I'd love to hear Hird's thoughts on the equality of the league.

What hurts more than anything is the pathetic compensation we got for him because of his so called "depression" that magically disappeared.

No offense to Lamumba but an A grade power forward like Clark deserved a top 10 pick or a gun player.

I hate him for screwing us. He is a thankless gutless weasel and I hope he never experiences any success.

It's getting hard to follow a sport filled to the brim with so many slimy, despicable people.

I can't decide if I despise Essendon or MC more.

He'll get injured sooner or later. It's what he's done his whole career...

Mitch Clark was not at melbourne when this match happened.

Just need to have a second team to follow. This can be done by going into any Target store and seeing what jumpers are on sale.

He is injury prone and who knows will probably walk out on Geelong after a couple of years and onto his fourth club.

We have Lumumbabam booshka.

Mitch Clark was not at melbourne when this match happened.

Round 6 2012. Our first game against Cats after 186. [censored] bags four plus 16 disposals.

But it is people like Hird who are killing the game...i have no time for psychopaths, have worked with a few over the years

James was quite happy to see his players double in size, and now he wants sympathy??

Same with Clark he pulls the Black Dog scenario so he gives himself the good chance at the "Feel Good" turnaround..

I hate the way the MFC stays quiet...it is why we have lost our once enormous power

Patience, my pets. Tonight was but a practice game. When Clark breaks down - and yes, he will break down, whether through the snap of a bone, tear of a muscle or rare venereal disease - I will be there with Internet heroics so fierce I may require a hand transplant. In the meantime, it's still March.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
