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 line starts here. No pun intended.


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.

Can someone pm me what was said by the wolfmother?

Went something like this ......

Quite apt.

I dont like hawthorn. At all. I like their supporters even less.

But [censored] i hope they kick 40 goals v essendon

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

Because he's an attention seeker. -_-

And a fwit

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?

no I don't think so... he is a bit difficult

And a fwit

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

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • 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.
