Mitch Clark's 6 goals - how ... 'depressing'.

[Earl Hood 6,152]

Here is hoping the Prince plays well and for 20 games a year for the next 5 years in a league that counts!

[Sir Why You Little 37,342]

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.

You will not be alone pant....

[Deecisive 1,709]

^{its a practice game, even Sam got kicks. lets see how the season goes and if Mitch's body holds up once he starts to play, history has shown he has recurring foot problems, if he starts to play well he may find opponents on those feet of his more often. As for the AFL making him leave I find it difficult to understand under what circumstances you would force one of a bottom sides best players to leave and then allow them to join a top 4 side. a funny sort of punishment that would be.}

[DubDee 26,408]

I would luv it if we beat Geelong

Luv it!

[ILLDieADemon 804]

I just hope he takes a hanger on Hawkins and injures them both

[RalphiusMaximus 6,110]

I guess I can console myself by thinking that he started out like this for us too. He played half a season of his six year deal, injured himself and that was it. If Geelong get half a good season out of him and then nothing more I won't begrudge them that. It's only if he stays healthy and has a long, prosperous and premiership-filled career that I'll be truly [censored].

[ILLDieADemon 804]

No wait here's a better on.

Frawlys on Clark and Clark takes one of his head first hangers and injures them both.

Yes!! that is my dream this season.

Hopefully we will have the last laugh.

[McQueen 17,867]

Makes me sick. What a complete c*nt.

[Pipefitter 2,224]

To think Geelong only lost Varcoe for him.

[Supreme_Demon 4,032]

At least we got the big "H" for Mitch Clark. It would've been ALOT worse if we lost Clark for nothing. Either way, I will be one of many Melbourne supporters booing Mitch Clark when we play Geelong.

Adding Lumumba to our half back line and midfield will help us more in the long-run.

Best to move on and not worry about Mitch Clark any more until we play Geelong.

I'm over all the annoyance and frustration that Mitch Clark caused us. Time to look towards the future.

[baysidedave 246]

What a cvnt. 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

agree, this turd lied through his teeth l reckon, weak as [censored]!!!

[deeko 952]

I watched him live tonight and the catters supporters are loving him and understandably so. Unfortunately it won't last as they don't realise he is made of glass and won't last.

We traded an a grader who's a 10 game a year player for a b grade 20 game a year player.

Some will agree some won't but I loved Clarke's game tonight and am still happy with the trade

[solly21 91]

I completely agree Mitch Clark lied about his depression to get out. If he really had clinical depression how could he be in training within 3 months of being diagnosed. I think the club did the wrong thing in just believing him. They should have got a 2nd opinion before letting him out of his contract.

It is mental illness, they aren't exactly going to refute it.

It isn't hard to get diagnosed with clinical depression, I know people who allegedly do it for work.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,359]

He was playing on Cheney and some other c grade defender.

Good luck kicking 6 against Hawthorn in round 1.

[Demon trucker 1,800]

I am past angry,because I never believed him in the first place, he was never clinically depressed, more he was depressed at his current situation, i bet he is not depressed anymore, I person that is depressed is depressed most of the time no matter whether they are doing well in life or not well in life, if he says that he is not depressed anymore than it was just at that moment in time, if so he lied.

[Bring Back Barassi 552]

there is some conjecture that the club offered him peanuts to stay

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

He stooged Brisbane then Freo then us. He will do the same to Geelong.

[dazzledavey36 55,991]

Lets remember he played on a 187cm Kyle Cheney and a rookie ruckman in Rory O Brien who was playing Calder Cannons..

For all the hate the Frawley is getting on here i will put my money on him, Lake and Gibson to absolutely nullify him come round 1.

James Sellar kicked 5 against Port in the 2013 Nab cup. And as he found out come in the real stuff when intensity goes up million miles an hour he completely struggled.

[Gorgoroth 13,188]

I wish I knew why of the rumours why.

Might make my trips to Geelong easier as I may not be looking for him to run over...

Joking...

Maybe...

[Dockett 32 1,239]

Good luck to him reckon he'll be lucky to play 30 games for Geelong and he's a gr.b to boot.

At this stage happy to have H aboard. So far he's done all he can to get us moving and been a great role model for the younger brigade.

No wrist cutting here.

[Ron Burgundy 8,588]

Mitch Clark is a gun.

His character's in issue, not his playing ability. Franklin and Clark are best full forwards in the comp IMO.

He'll kill this year if he can stay fit and, off field, not be a completely self-obsessed [censored] end.

[jnrmac 20,306]

It would be wrong as he was under contract

[Spirit of 26 261]

Mitch Clark's acceptance speech after being awarded the Coleman medal, "Before I say anything, I would like to offer my most heartfelt gratitude to the Melbourne Football Club for supporting me and believing in me when I was at my most lowest and most vulnerable. I wouldn't be in this position today without your understanding, patience and love".
