MC was cleared late last night.

Hope Mitch plays v Saints and that Sylvia comes straight in. A slight worry Sylvia will be underdone but have to go with it.

    Good opportunity for me to recognise that Mitch has been a great acquisition by the club.

    He is a very good player.

    He is the only player on our list capable of being a strong tall forward (Jurrah, Watts etc are not that). Therefore he is CRITICAL to our structure.

    He is one of the only players on our list that plays with the perfectly right amount of intensity and aggression required at this level

    Shouldn't play after that fall unless absolutely 100%.

    Clearly out cold.

    Came up with huge bruise on cheek.

    Jurrah will compliment Clark . Different styles. Don't think either has reached potential. Watts is longer term and will be worth the wait

    He actually already had the bruise before he knocked himself out

    He had it for half the game.

    Was about to post the same thing... I'm pretty sure that happened when he did a face plant which saw him going off the ground for a couple of minutes for a check up on his arm (I think it was).

    Although.....

    @MelbourneFooty

    Clark will be monitored throughout the week, and while unlikely, may still play against the Saints on Saturday night at the MCG.

    If you're inclined to believe twitter!!!

    His wrist was also a problem. Any word on that??

    Didn't notice this at the ground but a friend watching on TV suggested that it was being taken very seriously by the medical staff on the boundary. So, I reiterate above..."Any word on that?" Or do we assume no news is good news?

    As I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread, they took him off for a couple of minutes to check it out and then let him back on to continue playing, so it must be assumed that they weren't too concerned about it; and it certainly didn't stop him from trying to kill himself later in the game.

    Yeah, just before the incident he was grimacing and looking at it.

    He's been a really great pickup I think. I even think if something HAD gone horribly wrong, and he had to wait until next season for his next game, fans would probably be mostly positive on his recruitment. He's kicked 10 goals, and has been invilved in numerous telling plays. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has absolutely no lack of talent, passion, anger, skill, courage, leadership... If you go on potential, he could quite conceivably be the next Neitz in the side. I've seen enough, and I daresay most would have.

    Watching it on replay, I can't believe he's still with us, given his head went into his ribcage like a turtle.

    Did anyone else basolutely LOVE his double tackle on the flank, that was eventually given as a free against? Bad luck, but wow the effort from a ruckman-sized player... If Watts doesn't look at that and think, I wanna be like Mitch, then he never will.

    I was watching garrys footy classified last night and i could clearly see number 47 of the doggies give mitch a fair push in the back as he flew for the mark mitch had good timing on the fly till he got pushed which as we all saw, him landing on his head the so called review squad should have check it out because his actions were reckless as mitch could have ended up in hospital permanently

    Not much in it, just good hard footy and some bad luck.

    I suggest you look very closely at the footage above linked by Tricky... how you manage to see a "fair push" that deserves reviewing is way beyond me. He touched him, but he certainly did not push (you can even see him retracting his arms).

    having just watched Trickeys video it does look as though i was hasty in condemming the doggies player sorry guys I was wrong

    Thius is my highpoint of the season. We can build a forward line around him for the next 5 to 6 years. and a great coup by the club

    Exactly. That is the sort of leadership players like Watts have lacked to look toward.

    Mitch Clark is very lucky he is not a quadraplegic after sundays game.

    He has the attitude this club has lacked for a long time.

    An excellent Recruit.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
