You're still not grasping the actual context here. It wasn't "homesickness", it was doing the best thing for his family. Securing their financial future is pretty important yes?

Of course they look bad from the outside to social media bogans and footy hacks who want everything black and white, spuds and stars, heroes and villains, but it's not the reality of what actually happened.

 

so, it was stuie-reality.......................right

    Was well documented at the time. But wouldn't have thought clever blokes like you guys would be the types to get sucked in by the dribble going around...

    and it proves nothing. what does anyone think he was going to say "i went for the money after deceiving freo in order to get out".... yeah right

    any opinion is just speculative.......not reality

    DC, careful discussing personal matters, without DNA, eyewitnesses and photographic evidence. 

    My opinion on Mitch Clark is that he wanted out of Brisbane (not alone there) then we gave him a better offer. Going to Geelong in my opinion was a mutual agreement based on something.

    That troubling equation on Demonland when you agree with Stuie or Saty's comments but are still antagonised by their general tone of response . . .

    The other thing in the Clark deal was that we were able to get the business done with the Lions with Pick 12. 

    Freo were busy trying to get him on the cheap. He would have been a Docker had they offered up a better deal earlier in the piece.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
