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 ther

It could be summed up this way. MC signed a huge contract with us for 4 years. Got injured in the first year, again in the second and missed the third. Played a total of about 15 games in 3 years ear

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.

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

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.

Mitch Clark was not at melbourne when this match happened.

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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
