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

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

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!!!

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

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).

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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
