Mitch Clark out with a foot injury ...

Made it clear many times here how I feel about Clark as a player and how for a club it is important to have players that not only have scruples but also loyalty to our club.

But in saying that I would never celebrate someone's injuries.

So let me say clearly I'm definitely not celebrating.

However smiling is another matter, especially when I think about how Karma can be such a [censored] at time.

Grow some scruples and just admit your celebrating like the rest of us!! :)

I'm celebrating.Geelong's demiss only makes it all the sweeter :)Any chance WADA can appeal tomorrow for a perfect start to the weekend?

I said round 1 that i give it 4 or 5 weeks before he gets injured

Right in the money

Wouldn't wish it on anyone but it might just be a little hint of karma for the way everything went down.

Hopefully it doesn't negatively affect his mental state too much.

The embodiment of the gentle caring souls that inhabit Demonland is certainly on show in this topic

Personally I find some of the comments pathetic, some really do need to grow up

Oh grow a humour muscle.

Humour muscle? There's a fair bit of schadenfreude on this thread, which might count for humour I suppose. And a few laughs. But there's also a few signs of unresolved resentment. And Saty did refer only to 'some' of the comments, after all. There may sometimes be reasons to worry about his sense of humour, but this ain't one.

You might as well pillory Barassi for wanting a new environment to succeed in. Barassi got it right, Clark may have got it wrong, and this time MFC will be the winners.

I'm afraid it's got to the point where threads like this are simply no longer funny... they are just plain nasty. I really hope the moderators nip this one in the bud quick smart!

To the charge of schadenfreude I plead guilty.

I also plead guilty to the charge of having boasted: "I tipped this" since I remembered while talking to a Geelong supporting friend that the knock on Mitch from the time we filched him from Freo was that he was physically fragile and that Brisbane thought it unlikely he would go the distance on a long career.

To those too sensitive to engage in a smile at this time may I suggest even you will be celebrating as we overtake Geelong...hopefully in Mitch's time.

You're just upset that (a) you did not start the thread, (b) it is not actually about you and, © it is not about you.

Its time to move on ladies & gentlemen -

Im loving what Harry Lumumba is bringing to our side.

He has one of the best sets of wheels in the game today. As soon as HL grabs the ball my first thought is where is Jesse Hogan???? .... He is about to be in the play with a long kick coming from HL - Go Dees.

There's a little, but not much. There's a hell of a lot more of the 'not a leg to stand on', 'don't come running to us' type stuff, and one bore who just can't climb down off that high horse.

The moderators here have strict guidelines when it comes to personal and insulting posts... At least when it's directed at them rather than a former player battling depression

    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

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
