picket fence

SAD!

And so on the cusp of a SANFL Grand Final and with every club sending at least a recruiting staff member the eyes will be on several other Norwood player such as Sam Baulderstone, Matthew Panos Simon Philips, Liam Davis and of course "Juice" A good performance in the granny would sure put some serious thought into recruiting him. Hnmm interesting times.

We picked up a bloke who had double hip surgery DOH TYPICALLY DUM MFC RECRUITING Meanwhile a certain Pt Adelaide guy is close to BOG in the annihilation of the Tiges! BOUBLE DOH What I predict to what might happen is twofold! Trade up and out while some currency prevails and the reality?? more pain through inability to rediscover pace, and outside run to become another MFC Stuffed draft choice, that's my take!

Yeah well part of the info I already had was that A) Best mate Rivers was already there and now B) Girlfriend is a Geelong girl with family affinity with Geelong and so another part of that puzzle was revealed today ( Although I already knew that from an informed sauce and it formed part of my reasoning) the main part however is still to be played out and when it does it will be as I have said. I will say though that unless a "Ship in the knight" takes the wind away I remain 99% convinced that Geelong will be his destination. Laughable really! But Logical if so inclined!

One of the worse things about this whole episode will be ... any AFL player with depression will be loathe now to call it by virtue of Clark's regeneration and obvious incline to play elsewhere. You can just imagine that if any player cites "Depression" AFL clubs will run a mile because:- a) Not enough is known about it within AFL circles b) This could be the "Getout" clause of the century. Make no mistake AFL Clubs will now have an escape clause of there own written into contracts! Lets now play this through, I don't know of many blokes who haven't had "The Black Dog" in various degrees of severity! and it does take some work to "Keep it in check" So Mitch Clark came to Melbourne for a Bucket load of Cash No More No Less! MONEY obviously rules his universe! He has taken our money and now seems likely to depart. So the MFC have been once again treated like a inflatable Blow up Doll, ready willing and able to be Screwed Over and over and over again! And Mitch Clark will have his Money, But will still have his Demons! Hnmm lets move on and get whatever compensation and leverage we can outa this! Time to make a stand!

So what facts are there? what is the truth? Do you really think that we will get anything out of this possible scenario?? Mate the bloke has been paid a huge amount of Money based on , what 15 games of footy, he was depressed , he wasn't able to commit and as a result he got out Right! Ok so now the possibility exists that he may, MAY seek to play next year. So if IF he wants to play with us then so be it! IF he seeks to play elsewhere then the club should exhaust every avenue available to recoup some form of compensation based on the FACT that we have paid overs for a bloke who hardly played and took the money almost under false pretences. HE IS STILL ON OUR LIST! There is a lot to be played out here but my feeling is that if he plays it won't be with us and if seeking a move elsewhere then I would hope that the AFL and the footy club work so that we don't get the short end of the straw as has happened in the past!

Absolutely no doubt about this. All an elaborate ruse to get back to WA. I can only hope the AFL really come down hard on this but my gut feeling is they probably won't.

I have got a very bad feeling about where this is heading and IT DOESN'T BODE WELL FOR MFC

I am Firmly of the belief that even though not Firm at point of exit, the eating of Chillies is the way to avoid bowel cancers and other potential cancers of the stomach! Reasoning is that it burns every potentially harmful agent entering a developmental phase! Not sure if evidence can back this up but that is what I have heard!! Anyone any info regarding this?

Um if you are going to quote facts then you need to get it right!! Huge hanger followed by 50 metre goal! Just to cap it of. Also, if you go onto the AFL stats page and actually check his career stats , they measure up surprisingly well for a bloke who is and has been exceptionally maligned on this forum, eg Dud, Spud etc! But don't take my word for it, check the stats out for yourselves. Then if not satisfied well as I have said many times on this forum everyone is entitled to their post! All I'm saying is the bloke went to S.A after his shot with us, has been cruelled by injury missing the last two Norwood flags, surely not any of you out there would begrudge him a well deserved tilt at Premiership Glory? Go Norwood and Good luck "Juice"

Righto Nasher, just delete thread if you like and transfer over here, apologies PF

Justice has ( almost) been served) Bye Bye Bombers!!!!!!

NORWOOD into the Grand Final "Juice" 2 goals tonight! Missing the last 2 Grand Finals through injury, a bit of Luck won't go astray! Go Norwood (SA Version of MFC) ! GF in two weeks!

Um went to a party once where plenty of people were smoking "The wacky terbacky" I um never have had any drugs, but I gotta tell you Bitters lime and Lemo man I went into that party stone cold sober and left stone cold smashed from breathing in the 'Toxic" fumes of the "Wacky Terbacky" Never, ah actually have had any Drugs as such! Cheers Bitter Lemon Man! Anyway back to the thread I think he is Goooone To the Cattery!

Yep, take him in a heartbeat!

Gee I Love you guys Really brings me "Down to Earth'' " Ground control to Picket Fence" Ground control to Picket Fence.. Take your protein pills and out your helmet on" Ah Demonland what an "Esoteric" experience!

Yeah I know that Bitters lime n soda BUUT I tried to put emphasis on the story being one of a base point of view of which the opposite is baseless The ah Bass as in Bass guitar, plays different tune!! I can see the confusion but, I ain't perfect! Thanks so much for pointing it out!! You have been very helpful ,,,,.... Much!

Okay so here's the Deal Matchstick my friend..,.,,, I posted months ago that "according to my sauce" Frawley was going to the Cattery I still hold that view and for good reasons, So you reckon I'm all bluff eh Well unless something way way way outa left field emerges I'll stick with my info! Remember it aint Rock n Roll without a BASE! And from the famous line from Redhouse Roll Band.. a, ahem, famous Geelong band from the 70 ts "Foolin.... foolin.. whos' fooling who"? OK HERES THE DEAL!! if Im wrong I'll ban myself for 6 months!! And if you are wrong ...... well you know the rest!\ DEAL?????????????????

Bootsma??? "Cro Magnon" man less the physique! nuff said bout a nuff nuff!

Nutjob Robinson belted Rohan Bail off the ball several years ago! and copped weeks for it! On that basis there might well be the "Flow on effect" and I believe some angst MIGHT remain! NUP NOT WORTH THE RISK!

No Loss, Strauss , Evans to follow shortly!

Reality check needed Nathan Jones ( clearly our best, aint near the top echelon) which really is what a few of us have been saying ........ Fabulous player but playing in a Sheeeeeeit team means just a tick under "A" grade Dunn, Jetta very good but not as good as those whom they would replace. REALITY CHECK !

LOVE CHILD DA DA DA DA DAR NEVER MEANT TO BE. ETC etc yadda yadda yoda would say " Missing the point most" Oh well....l will be veerry interesting to see how the finals play out and how many more ( other than the two prospective AFL suitors) might just be interested!? Hnmm interesting !!

Hnmm 12th in the Margarey Medal? not bad, not bad!

I hear JC is getting itchy feet!! things are boring upstairs. Any takers??
