AFL - Round 1 (non MFC games)

[deeko 952]

I have no issues with Frawley, he gave us some good service over the years. Clark can GAGF though, soft as butter mebelieve ally and I hope his foot gets shattered into powder.

A mate of mine at the dees match said Clark was there and very vocal for the dees. Apparently jumped off his chair when Jonesy slotted through that goal.

I doubted it but have no reason no to believe him

His support on-field would have been more handy. Excuse me for not giving one [censored]

I cant hate Chip, he gave us years of very good footy including a rare MFC AA guernsey . I do think he will regret not staying at the club though and seeing success with his mates though.

And after seeing what Lumumba has brought to the MFC i am now leaning to saying thanks Mitch

He didn't give us years of very good footy at all - that is a myth. A reasonable footballer, yeah.

In his last 3 years, he was, at best, quite a good 'stopper'. He regressed from his all-Australian year and failed to show the required leadership that we needed.

His last 3 B&F finishes were 9th, 7th & 8th (in arguably, one of the worst performed teams of all time) And the match committee are more prone to recognise backman too - far more so in my eyes.

Granted, he had plenty of mates (nearly the whole list)

That doesn't mean he won't get back to his dashing best at Hawthorn (his dashing best was his all-Australian year)

Too many make excuses for Frawley yet won't make the same excuses for other players (he was "under siege" in the backline and all that - defending doesn't just happen in the last line of defence, it happens all over the ground) All our players could have been dubbed "under siege" - from 2012-2014).

Besides North getting PUMPED, the non-MFC highlight for me was Hird getting booed by the Swans fans when he went down to the bench in the last 5 minutes of the game. I hope this happens every week.

Leadership and Frawley in the same sentence does not compute.

Leadership and Frawley in the same sentence does not compute.

As I said previously, I'm not unhappy about Frawley leaving regardless of how well he might play elsewhere.

If a player doesn't want to play for our club, do the best deal possible.

And one of Roos' great strengths is trading and dealing - he's quite good at that (as we're finding out)

[RalphiusMaximus 6,048]

Early note on Hawks vs Cats. Clark looks like he's lost some of that defensive intensity he had with us. Can still take a mark though.

And with that he just dropped a sitter directly in front.

[JV7 2,351]

Chip playing on clark.. Hopefully a head clash and both KO eachother

[45HG 1,539]

Clark just dropped a chest mark on the lead.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

And chip hand balled a meter in front of him to a teammate surrounded by three opponents.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

The skills of geelong have been poor, especially Bartel and then Enright.

Never seen Bartel kick so badly.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Chip giving Clark an early bath

He still can't kick.

Poor development by Hawthorn.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,048]

Chip giving Clark an early bath

Not sure I'd go that far. He got the crumbs from a shocking kick. Clark just scored because Frawley hadn't followed him back into the 50.

[Guest]

This is bizarre to watch.

[Pirlo 813]

I really can't stand his [censored] head.

[Pirlo 813]

Clark can't mark and Frawley (though I don't mind him) can't spoil.

Will be found out this season.

Neither side looks very good today, mistakes leading to goals. Promising for the rest of us.

[Demon Jack 6,909]

I'm not sure what to feel watching this. Frawley playing on Clark is just plain nutty.

Forgot Jared Rivers still plays for the Cats. This gets more bizarre by the second.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,048]

Two to Clark.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

If I hear the words "Mitch Clark" and "courageous" in the same sentence again I will spew.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Yeah, commentators love to talk up this guys "mental demons"

Flogss

[low flying Robbo 979]

If I hear the words "Mitch Clark" and "courageous" in the same sentence again I will spew.

yeah i didn't really like the "it was courageous of him to spend some time away from the game". Would have been more courageous for him to come back to the club that showed him so much support

[Cards13 9,117]

What a hero... Vomit.

[dazzledavey36 54,889]

Hawks look a bit sluggish to me.

[DubDee 25,854]

Does everyone know something I don't? Clark is being praised for [censored] us over and a couple months later going to a successful team

Courageous? I'm going to punch the TV in a second

[Pirlo 813]

TV off, kettle on, chocolates out.

Got it on the radio and doing some work now, but I just can't look at him.

He's eveyr bit as good as he was at Melbourne.
