Sometimes the truth hurts, Newman is paid to express his opinion, whether or not it is a popular opinion. He is the main reason I watch the footy show.

Err, that's quite an admission.

Ahead of the Hawks' light training session on Saturday, Clarkson was clearly disappointed that Lake's name had been mentioned.

"They are simply allegations. There have been no investigation by either the league or Geelong - so (we're) better off leaving it at that, I reckon," he said.

Asked if he was disappointed about the allegations, he replied: "I am disappointed for Lakey. It's a bit difficult to clear your name when it has already been put out there. I know through speaking with him and other players that he said nothing of the sort.

"So, to have his name smeared by people who just alleged he had said something, it makes it more difficult.

"Anyway, there has been no investigation so we are just better off getting on to next week's game and focusing on Essendon rather than last week."

Clarkson did not wish to elaborate when asked whether he was more frustrated that Lake's name had been mentioned despite his denials or that Cats skipper Joel Selwood had confirmed on The Footy Show that Clark had been sledged, although Selwood did not say by whom.

"Let's leave it at that. We have addressed the issue," Clarkson said.

Oh dear, seems pretty obvious the smear wasn't depression related, and Chip informed his new club of what really happened when Clark was at the MFC.

Naturally Clark wants the whole situation dropped because he doesn't want an investigation where the truth comes to light and he loses what little integrity he has left.

The thing that bothers me as a football supporter is that Brian Lake was named by Clark privately and then the incident was outed by the captain when it wasn't known what was said by anyone.

As I posted before, Lake wasn't sledging him on depression or anything like that. It was another player that took a jab at Clark for his mental fragility, but the media are intent on naming and shaming Lake and giving the impression he's lying. He's not.

Strike 1, Strike 2

"Depression"

New Club, clean slate

Although I think he is full of shiht.

He displays the same fortitude physically and Mentally as Donald Trumps hair.

Still out in public ,but fooling nobody .

So he was taking mid season trips to the snow, and using a legit health condition to cover it up. Wow what scum

Universal agreement on 3AW that Mitch Clark had misheard and overreacted about the "incident" Monday. Supposedly he whinged to his manager after the match, who then went straight to the media and AFLPA to blow it up into an issue.

Way to make your new club look like idiots (especially your captain, who smeared Hawthorn's name on the Footy Show because of incorrect claims), then drag innocent players from your club's arch rival through the mud. All in one fell swoop.

And it's only round one!

It seems that wherever Mitch walks, controversy is his shadow! :o

Very interesting that Lake has strenuously denied Clark's claims and is purportedly deeply offended and upset by the accusations.

And, lo and behold, suddenly Geelong want the entire situation dropped and aren't pursuing it further.

Have fun with Clark at the Cattery, you flogs. This is just the beginning of his contribution to your culture!

Didnt Lake himself have depression issues?

Personally I'm in favour of elevating MC to T$ status and we never speak of the bloke again.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
