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.

I've done some work in the orthopaedic surgery area and I can tell you Mitch didn't snap the tendon. It's torn and will be repaired by having two screws inserted to re-align the joint to it's correct

Not if our players learn to get out of his way. He's Mitch Clark FFS, he's got this. Stay clear of him, and he'll be fine. If he misses the mark, he's more than capable of getting up and laying the

A podiatrist just rang up SEN and said the injury Clark suffered is the same as Matthew Richardson had in his career, and Richardson had a full recovery and almost came back to win the Brownlow! So

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.

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.

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
