Mitch Clark

[demondavey]

Mitch Clark was recalled for one game this year post injury and hasn't been sighted since. You'd expect more than one opportunity to prove yourself surely, he wasn't afforded that. Has Scott lost faith in him and is he done? Surely a fit and in form Clarke would add an extra dimension to Geelong? Why hasn't he been afforded that chance?

Interested to hear thoughts on him. I was disappointed he left Melbourne, but he clearly hasn't come on from his mental and physical health issues. Good luck to him.

 

[Hoooops]

Had some time off after his twin babies were born almost two months early. Between fitness, form, injury and personal issues, he hasn't been able to get a lot of momentum in terms of getting back into the best 22.

 

[Kram]

He is a spud.

Slagging off your team mate's partner and playing shit in the VFL doesn't exactly scream "recall".

That's right. Wasn't good form from him.

Not quite right
Slagging off an opponents partner, who happens to be the sister of a teammate, and playing shit in the VFL doesn't exactly scream "recall"

We made out like Neo with the dodging of that bullet.

Really? I thought it was the other way around!

Thoughts on him with regards to getting back in?

actually I think you are right , my mistake sorry

 

[Hoooops]

Thoughts on him with regards to getting back in?

Obviously won't happen this year. With a bit of good luck (and boy he's due for some) he could get back in next year, assuming he doesn't retire.

 

[The Donners]

Is he finished in the AFL?

 

[Ok Boomer]

He should get one more year, the potential is always there and maybe his new twins will keep him in a good place. Unlike some, I have respect for Mitch Clark, depression is a campaigner.

 

[Gavin Excell]

I dont think he will play another game for Geelong again

Yes, it should never be forgotten how serious his mental health issues were at Melbourne, his doctor was very concerned for his well being playing footy at the highest level, until of course Geelong ponied up the green, after that he seemed to make a miraculous recovery.

Good for him

 

[Pusswah]

I sure am disappointed we dropped the ball on this one

He might have been in a better place back home?

Spot on.

 

[steven2carlisle]

He is a spud.

Would play every game at Freo.

 

[Taylor]

His body, injury wise, let him down his entire career. Not sure anything could have changed that.

Playing for Melbourne in that era would have made anyone depressed.

Lol... Playing against us back then, would have been depressing...

His maraculus recovery after ditching the Dee's, was cringe worthy and just straight out wrong... He doesn't deserve to be at Geelong...

Making a joke about his depression, haha good one

Locker room cancer. Does not belong in the AFL.
