Good.It also shows that the club will go with Gawn as the number 1 ruck this week... i hope

Sorry Jumbo i had to have a little laugh at this.Anyways fair to say Jeffy has been a massive bargain for us considering the set of butter knives we gave Carlton lol. Our leading goal kicker and seems like he is really enjoying his footy and getting the balance right off field. Credit to Paul Roos for taking the risk on Garlett and showing huge faith in him because its paying off so far. Could be on his way to a 40 goals this year.

Well done chomp

2nd.. get it right

If we make finals i will drink a slab of Guiness in front of everyone on here.

Notice on the MFC website they have a poll going on whos the best player out of the two. If i was new to AFL and i saw those highlights for the first id say Roosy has him covered by a long shot. I never got to see Roosy play so can someone what he actually explain what type of player he was and who would you compare him in todays game. Cheers.

Ok heres my idea.How about we trade you off to bomberblitz for a bag of spuds. Haha in all serious i knew you couldn't handle yourself. You start a thread of complimenting how well he played against St Kilda and you mentioned you were willing to give him time. I said to you will be straight off the wagon once he puts in a poor game. I knew you couldn't keep to your word. [censored] nuffy.

He was also averaging 27 disposals this year before injury. Thats more then any player on our list. If we picked him up Nathan Jones would be the happiest man in the world. He would take a huge work load off his shoulders and more attention and tagging would go into prestia.

You must not rate Jack Viney then?

Your kidding yourself if you wouldn't give up a first round draft pick for him.

This.I honestly think Mitch tried to be the 'feel good story' out of all this. He wanted to come back to footy and prove that you can open up about depression and play good football aswell. I think the sledging against Hawthorn and crowd constant booing him caught him off guard. Surely he must question whether he has made the right choice coming back? When your coming back into the high demanding pressure of AFL spotlight you gotta know what to expect in terms of media, supporters booing over the fence etc.. how he can say he is in the right mind set and be told to go to another environment where its just as intense as Geelong is seriously questionable from a medical point of view.

Few points.I wouldn't be on my pedastal because i always had the thought his body was always going to fail him. In late 2013 early 2014 pre season he had a string of soft tissue injuries that would just plague him for the rest of his career. He will never play 22 games in a year. I had the inkling back then he would battle soft tissue injuries but didn't want to really believe it because at the same time i was excited about the Hogan Clark combo.. turns out that never happened either. Another point as i pointed out him leaving was a blessing in disguise. We got H Lumumba out of it and Clark is injury riddled. Its completely irrelevant now that he did a number at the club because if he had stayed you would be carrying on and whinging like you are now on how he rarely gets on the park and what a waste pick 12 was. End of the day we didn't lose anything out of Mitch Clark leaving so i don't understand the fuss.

If its one year where i wouldn't mind have a problem trading away our first pick its this year.Then again i do like Darcy Parish as our first pick. A package of class and speed that we severely lack in our midfield.

Re-injured his calf.. most likely could miss the rest of the year.My personal opinion in all this is i think Mitch should have stayed retired. Going by his recent facebook depression post is that his mind is clearly still not in the right mind frame and still struggling with the AFL pressure. I don't know what he was trying to prove because physically his body was always going to let him down. His calf and ankle were completely shot and when your coming back from 2 years of no football and given his age aswell he was always going to crumble again. I have no pure hatred for him as some on here do. At the end of the day he is still human and his health is important. If he was still in red and blue we would all be slashing our wrist over what a big waste of money he has been with all his injury problems. At the end of the day we made the right decision and Lumumba has been a massive win for us.

I would have told you Rhys Mathieson but after watching him play I came away completely underwhelmed.. His disposal and cleanness of the ball needs a fair bit of work. This years draft is pretty shallow in terms of there isn't a Brayshaw Wines Petracca type big solid inside midfielders. Francis would probably close to what your after and I would have said Hopper aswell but obviously we can't.. and I haven't seen Dunkley play yet.

Our sources must have come from the same bloke. Lets just say Paul Roos opened the door for him on the way out.

Maybe not on field yet but don't underestimate Lumumba's off field leadership and experience. Only have to look back to the Hawthorn game when he picked up Garland off the ground and put his arm around him. Clark's off field antics swayed a few teammates and coaches off side.

Well we dodged a massive bullet and got a winner in Lumumba. Il take that.

The AFL Footy Show ‏@AFLFootyShow 11s11 seconds ago Up next, @barrettdamian with news on @GeelongCats' Mitch Clark.

And there it is.. 7:02pm: Baguley has his charge downgraded. He will be fined $1500 and is free to play this weekend.

Yes.. but I made a blue its on the 20th..Our new recruit next year. INJURED DEMON WORKING HARD OFF THE FIELD

So Watson out, Cooney a fair chance he will be out as well with an abductor, Bagurly possibly out? And they have Shaun Mckernan as their number 1 ruckman.. No Excuses this week!!!

Watching Dave Mission injury report. It looks like Vanders Brayshaw Grimes and Lumumba are all set to play this weekend only if they get through Thursday's main training session.

Mark Bagurly has decided he WILL contest his one week suspension. Now watch him get off free.
