Sam Newman's comments on Mitch Clark

yes, you've played afl footy?

Let's just say I've watched more games than I've played, dc.

Newman is a tool. Attack Clark for having depression is ridiculous. Clark has declared himself fit to play, he'll cop it over the fence but he shouldn't have to cop it from players. You wouldn't sledge a player for having any other illness. I doubt anyone is laying in to the several diabetics in the AFL or Tom Lonergan who lost a kidney.

Anyone who attacks Clark on part of depression is a gutless wonder. If you want to criticise his move from Melbourne, the retirement etc then you can but have some class and leave the depression out of it.

FFS can some of you people move on. Aligning yourself with the views of Sam Newman is not a smart idea, this isn't the 1960's.

Garbage. Clark manipulated the system. Roos got rid of him under the no [censored] policy. Zero sympathy
 

Clark is full of BS & everyone in footy knows it. Whether he had depression or not, he ditched the MFC cause he needed a new environment for dealing with his depression according to the unnamed medical advise he got...... However, he was already back at the MFC rehabbing, using our staff & facilities when he 'got better & started working towards a comeback'. What other life changes have been made? He stayed with the same mrs he got depression with & what do you know, went back to his old profession of AFL player within a few months, all he did for this 'life change to help him deal with depression' was go from a bottom 4 fancy to a top 4 fancy. And he got paid out 90% of his over the top salary for hardly any games with us, including his wage he would have earnt for this year from us!!! He is a spineless weak creep. I'm soo glad he went to the ailing aging cats so he be there for their downward spiral. Meanwhile we can wave to him in the next couple of years as we pass them on the ladder. F u Clark, mentally ill or not, go rot, case closed!

Good riddance & welcome H!!

I agree with this ALTHOUGH I do have a feeling that the MFC was more than happy to move him on. Who knows, maybe he wanted to stay at melbourne and we thought we were better off getting Lumumba rather than keep a injury prone, mentally fragile player... Still hate clark and think his made a bad descion to bring these comments to the public, would have thought someone whos battling depression would rather not be in the spotlight but that backs up suggestions he never had an illness to start with

Why the hell does Demonland even allow Clark threads anymore? It brings out the rednecks and idiots and all the experts on everything from depression, to the integrity of someone they've never met, to what happened on the field on Monday at a game they weren't at...

Eight pages of this rubbish. Rumor threads get consistently closed, as do defamatory ones, but apparently you can say anything and everything about a former player who has depression.

You don't have to read it.

Amazing how a nameless faceless poster on an internet board apparently knows everything about Clark's life, what changes he's made, his medical advice, his contract/payout status.... Who would believe you'd hide in an anonymous forum on the internet rather than writing your factual insights in published media.
 

Only the despicable Barrett would consider it a good idea to air this whilst leaving out the exact nature of the alleged sledge, something that we still don't know. No good was ever going to come out of making this so public. I will however say that if this comes down to Clark's word vs Lake's, I know who I'll be more inclined to believe, and it ain't Mitch.

But whatever. Life post-Mitch is starting to look pretty rosy so he can do what he likes. We've got the Prince and we just might have the last laugh.

I'd also add in response to WJ that I really can't understand the continued grievances over Scully. I mean really? Still? The kid was barely out of his teens and was asked if he wanted to become a multi-millionaire. He'd have almost been foolish not take it. The "lying to Jimmy" tact doesn't hold much weight with me either. Just get over it for heaven's sake. We've made out like bandits in the Scully scenario.


Nice of Stuie to Pop in...

Just waving as I go past bubbleboy

Like he said, it brings out all of the rednecks and idiots.


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!

Like he said, it brings out all of the rednecks and idiots.

Not bad... But you see the irony in you posting that right?

Whatever, Cletus.

The Jurrah threads went on for far too long as well when they should've been hit on the head much earlier.

Great point made by Dermot on Fox tonight. Clark was more than happy a few years ago to dish it out to another player (forget their name, there's a famous GIF of it though), prancing around pretending to be fat.

In short, you dish it out, you get it in return.

Not the Chris Tarrant one is it?

Clap clap clap. Someone calling it as it is!

 

ok, so on the surface it seems that Clarke did the dog act, took us for a ride, grabbed the money and ran, then left us in the dirt.

i think its worth considering that maybe all the talk of "doing whatever we can for Mitch, helping him heal wherever he ends up" was just a cover for us finding a way to ease him out of the club at minimum cost. The guy did have a contract that we could have enforced. We chose not to play hardball, and you have to ask yourself whether that was an act of kindness, or maybe it was just MFC management doing what was in the best interests of the club.

PJ, PR and the rest are professionals. They knew what they were doing when they let him go.

That said, I will be booing the dog just for the heck of it.

Go Dees.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
