The most disappointing thing about that poll up to this point in time, is that 7 people nominated wanting Richmond to win the flag!! Thankfully they got the smashing worthy of a team sitting in 9th place..

What exactly has Clark done? Do you have it on good authority he has actually said or done anything. Talk about a hair-trigger response. If you look up the expression "jumping at shadows" in the Greater Oxford Illustrated Dictionary, you will see a photo of a Demonland poster.

As Mitch himself responded on the now infamous Instagram thread (to Leoncelli I am assuming), "I wasn't aware that I had made an anouncement. @****** don't comment on things you know nothing about". I think that was a very fair response and he would obviously NOT come out with some sort of a statement there to refute anything... I would hae thought that would be done on advice... despite what some mightsay Swan did.

You did it on a post that was to do with one of his photographs... you railroaded the thread and as a result numerous others joined in. You did the wrong thing, end of story!

Welcome to Demonland

Not to mention Sandilands who has had two recos and Jay Schulz who has had one.

You mean like the time that Plugger decked a Swans player? Had a real flow on effect there didn't it.

Yep, says he "dodged an acl".

I would be more inclined to believe that other clubs are talking to Clark's manager (as opposed to him talking to them) as that would be fairly standard practice. Now, you say you are in the AFL media as if that gives your rumours some sort of credence. This is an internet forum, we all use assumed names (unless this site just happens to be full of people whose real names happen by pure coincidence to be the same as many of the clubs' players), and we can all lay claim to all sorts of knowledge regardless of whether it is true or invented. You may well work in the AFL media, but as what? I work for a major global software and hardware giant, but that doesn't mean I know what is going on behind closed doors. On the other hand, as cynical as I have been about some of his posts, GNF does have a pretty much impeccable record when it comes to "insider" knowledge and comings and goings at the MFC...and his reports/comments seem to be diametrically opposed to yours. I suppose all will be revealed in good time, but forgive me if I take your comments about Mitch having no interest in the MFC, as having very little substance.

Well, I certainly don't want anyone at our club who can't spell.

D from me.

and mud coloured glasses.

Your opinion which I doubt is shared by too many on here.

Just tweeted: Lions release official delistings - Raines, Polkinghorne, Lisle and Wearden gone. Also rookies Hayes, Michael and Conway

Weren't these the same kinds of comments that were being thrown about last year when discussion turned to one Cam Pedersen?

I believe the comment was "negative nancy"? That is a very old expression that is used to define someone who is excessively negative and complains too much... it has absolutely no relationship to a person's sexuality and definitely has no homophobic overtones. With your complaints re its use, you seem to have only provided some justification for its use.

Yes, but you are not Paul Roos and I think I probably trust his judgement a little more than I would trust yours.

Jones won't be going anywhere. This club will do whjatever is required to retain him... but having said that, he strikes me as possibly the only player at the MFC who is totally dedicated to the cause of raising this club out of the mire. Only one thing to say about your comment... MFCSS (I thought it was all but gone, but it must be building resistance to the Roosisinthehouse vaccine).

Or alternatively, someone needs to learn how to convey humour in a written format.

As the song says, "there's only one Tony Lockett".

That's a bit unfair. How many years did he stick around? What was his impact off the field (see rjay's comment above)? Should we say Tadhg Kennelly was only in it for the money (once he got the glory, he returned to play Gaelic Football in Ireland)? Folau was a failed experiment, yes... but Hunt at least showed he had some of the right skills and gave it a proper dip.lasting 4 years and at one stage was considered one of the GC's better mids. And even if he was in it for the money, so what?? The AFL is a professional sport and club loyalty is a thing of the past. It is now a game for elite sports people and that is exactly what Hunt is.

They should take a leaf out of our book... the players rest, but they still play.

Given the amount of "stick" Saty (the most prolific training reporter) has copped on here since the weekend, I personally wouldn't blame him in the least if he gives this a wide berth (assuming he went).

Was a line from a Pee Wee Herman show (well, maybe not the beers part - it was kids TV after all ).

I think he meant he'll be wandering around drunk with his fly undone (apologies to Pee Wee Herman).
