Do you not think the club has the right to tell its own story, once everything has played out? Which it clearly hasn't by the way, given that the stories in the media are conflicting. Anyway, glad GNF's post made you feel better

I wasn't. Surely he knew the supporter base would go in to meltdown. Let the club and Mitch tell their own story. If you have "inside info", keep it to yourself. He does not have the right to tell the club's point of view. You tell me - what good has come from GNF's post?

Even if he's right, I can't understand the motivation for posting it.

GNF has to be a troll. Why would you post that other than to incite a riot from demon fans? It worked.

Even if Clark does stay, what are the chances of him getting back to how he was before? He's coming from a long way back physically and mentally, and he's been out of the game for two years - this from a guy who was never exactly robust to begin with. There's a lot of water to pass under the bridge before I get upset. Clark going won't be the trigger point for me.

I read GNF's posts in the same way I read Nudge's. I enjoy them because they say things I like to hear and gets me pondering the possibilities, but as to actually believing them... Colour me a sceptic.

Before or after it was already the topic of mass speculation?

I agree rjay. I'm not sure what GNF has done or said to gain such implicit trust on the forum. Just another rumour monger IMO.

Didn't see it, but I'd bet money she went off half cocked and abused him for going. Stupid fans on Twitter definitely do not help our cause.

If Clark returns in Melbourne but not for Melbourne then something has to have happened that we're not privy to. It makes no sense otherwise - we need him as a player and he's been a clear supporter of the club during his time out. It's not money either; we would be in a good position to pay him plenty. So either there's something we haven't been told, or Barrett is just a windbag. Both scenarios equally likely.

He slipped over and got a regulation tackle to the neck. It was a genuine free kick every day of the week.

If that was a dive, we're watching different games.

Yep! I don't normally barrack for anyone in non-MFC games, but this has been huge and I can't help it. Reckon the fact that it's against Essendon that is making it doubly exciting for me.

He was implying that one gay man does not have the right to speak on behalf of the entire gay community.

The word censor list comes from a common one used online. It misses some words and includes some others may not agree with (such is the nature of lists created by humans), and never gets reviewed. Next time, instead of chucking a nana about it, send Demonland or I a message about it and we'll review it.

I just find the whole topic tedious. I tip my hat to anyone who still feels passionately about it. I'm convinced he's gone and couldn't give a stuff anymore. Just feels like groundhog day with this club.

Three posters have posted over 100 posts in this thread (g'day nutbean, beelzebub and SPR). Felt I should finally open my account. Have some catching up to do, doubt I'll match nutbean's 152 posts though. I believe in James. Edit: Missed my name in the list - had 6 on the board already. Carry on.

I'm swamped by Hawthorn supporters at work and they drive me nuts. Was really hoping they'd be brought down a peg tonight. Pretty disappointed.

Off topic slightly, but I've removed the word "gay" from the auto-censor. It came in with a rather heavy handed list we installed a while ago.

Personally I think #54 has had far too little love in recent years. All yours, Mitch!

Yes.

I'd call that a footy reason, actually.

Would love to hear more about the speeches. Normally I couldn't give a rats about what footballers have to say, but find these pre-prepared speeches at B&F nights tend to bring out the best. Hopefully they get uploaded to the MFC site today.

Dude.
