How do you know this?

My take on 360 - Clark will go elsewhere and we will get some second rate compo and Lamumba is on his way.

Mitch Robinson

The nonverbals from Clark screamed I won't be at Melbourne. Watson et al seems sure he's going as well. I willbe staggered if it turned out differently. The club and AFL have to play hard ball. It will the end for me if the ahawks get him without adequate compensation. Better if they called themselves the Vultures.

Can't believe his manager said that Clark did Melbourne a favour by walking away and freeing up a spot. What a slimeball.

Depression be buggered this is a cynical episode of opportunism, as it now seems likely it was when he came to us. Both the club and the AFL have to play hard ball with this for the precedent that it sets. If he walks and we get squat, my days of following an AFL side are done.

Doubt the reactions on this forum would be different to any other clubs. Imagine the squealing from the Pies or Blues if they were in the same position. McGuire would be apoplectic . I trust Jackson, Mahoney and Roos to make the best of the situation but they may be constrained by the teams of the agreement signed when Clark left.

How disingenuous the statement that it would be better for his mental health to be at another club. Would have thought playing in an environment that supported him so much would be better. It's all about the coin.

Would have thought by now there would have been some statement by the Clark camp if there was no truth to the rumours

Agree but it seems there may well be fire behind this particular smoke.

His partner it seems is doing a course that we paid for according to another post. Does anyone know if this is fact.

a that is exactly the mindset Roos wants to change at the club. looks like we will get duded but I expect the club will extract a price.

Needed some positivity so listened to Rooseys B&F speech. Our club is in good hands and I'm sure they will make the best of this situation but the circumstantial evidence is mounting that Mitch has been playing us like a violin and will end up being more reviled than any player I can recall.

It all depends on how we signed off when he left.

For once everyone seems united in a thread.

The way things are looking Mitch seems to be playing the system and we are being dudded big time. If so it would have to rank as one of the all time worst betrayals. Even worse than $cully.

It all boils down to the exit agreement signed by Mitch. Hope the Club foresaw this possibility. If he got paid out and then walks to another club it should ring alarm bells with the AFL for the precedent it sets.

Details please

Would it be a factor in us receiving a priority pick?

Recently GNF said Clark would only play for the Dees. Wonder what he knows?

You've got to laugh. This could only happen to the Dees.

Clarke for Lamumba?

The gas chamber comment was unnecessary and in poor taste and you are being guilty of the very same thing that you are accusing others of - making assumptions about my views and values. I repeat you are a self righteous bigot.

Would love to have Luke Parker.

You are a creep. How dare you infer that from what I said. No wonder you support Lamumbas school of hyperbole and over reaction.
