Tim Watson made that point on the TV coverage - he times his leap so well, that he takes the ball right at its peak. Impossible to deal with given his height.

On another note, I worry that what makes him such a fantastic player is what eventually will be his downfall. Because he smashes packs and breaks heads a bit, I kind of get the feeling he might be the type who is done by the time he is 27 or 28, just because he is so physical and gets knocked around so much. I really hope that's not the case, because he has totally bought in, and he is in for the long haul with us.

He smashes packs, alright. One of Jonathan Brown's major facial injuries the other year was from Mitch's elbow. If anyone can find the vision, it looks horrific.

Why?! :(

Somebody with some medical knowledge please tell us there is no lasting damage possible?

My heart just dropped!

f@#$ing typical !!

wonder how it will impact his team-mates - so much has revolved around Mitch this year

this will be a serious test of the team's psyche and resilience

Gutted. Absolutely gutted. Not for the supporters, or even the club. I'm gutted for him. He took all the flak he copped over the summer and was on the way to an All Australian season. Given our draw he would have ended with 70 goals.

2012 will go down as one of the worst seasons in the clubs history. What will go right?!

Sad news for Mitch and the Club.

Posted

Devastating news for Clark and the club.

He's on 29 goals, the next two best are Jones and Howe. Will he still end up winning our goalkicking?

Bad luck Mitch! Terrible news.

Time for Martin, Cook and Sheahan too step up! Martin most likely.

Posted (edited)

Cook, yeah right. Ideally, playing Cook along side Clark is what was needed.

This is a crushing blow to everyone.

I just can't believe it, after a quarter like that... here's a taste of the elite, MFC supporters, that's all you get, a taste.

Gutted for him and all of us.

Just been reading about that injury. The really CRAP part of this is it may affect him in a permanent way. What is it with key big men in this club?! We either cant find them, or if by some miracle we do, they break. Every silver lining is forever replaced by dark clouds. Sorry....Im just having a downer about this.

On the plus side, we will not win anymore games and will secure a pick to get Viney ;-)

Situations like this do present opportunities for other players. We have been Clark focused all year and maybe this will give us more options.

He has been amazing all year but maybe this gives Cook, Sheahan etc a chance. I just hope they don't move Watts from the back line straight away, he is too important with his play set up.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
