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

    possibly.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
