    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

I'm not sure whether someone has already posted this but you can see the injury most likely happen early in the 2nd quarter when Mitch comes down from snagging a mark .Just a twinge after he hits the ground straight legged (a little like LJ), he feels his leg and plays on.......

No i don't think so, see post number 111 for my rationale

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

What about the mark 9and goal) he took at around 14 mins left to go in Q1. He looked in pain as he landed and then when going back to kick he shook his foot a couple of times. Then the physios were looking at his leg afterwards.

"No i don't think so, see post number 111 for my rational"

Actually I think Sue has posted that it happened in the 1st quarter. I suspect that will be the incident I remember as well.

I suppose it doesnt much matter though it does suggest that it wasnt too serious, at least initially.

Your 111 post also seems a likely possibility,unfortunately it also implies a more serious injury

Im glad you put in your logical thoughts full of common sense

Can you share some of your more outlandish ones

I think the foot donation program is already satisfied,

I do have a spare foot size 13 and a half. Selfishly one foot may get me out of mowing lawns before going to the G and my wife can't nag me to do it. With Mitch back to win the coleman and me not doing the tyrants list before my journey to the G it's win win!

2013 performance is what counts now.

Clark's problem opens up the opportunity to see who else can play the tall fwd role.

Jurrah, Petterd, Cook etc need to make or break soon. Lets get on with putting them in the deep end whilst the 4 points dont matter much.

Does anyone know anything about the diagnosis and prognosis of HIS injury? Not the lisfranc injury in general but that injury as it is in Mitch Clarkes case. Looking to see if there's inside info anywhere. On side of possibilities its Trent Croad...and never play again. On the other its Matty Richardson and his best ever season on the wing. Pretty huge difference! Depending on severity and other factors I guess. Looking for someone who might know someone he's spoken to.

WTF??? Can we ever get an exciting player to go through uninjured? Tingay, Prymke, Glen Lovett, Alen Jackovich, even James Cook, Gysberts and now Clarke --- many others you will pick

Any of those could be world beaters yet are cut down prematurely by injury.

Maybe there s a God after all, and he hates Demons!

Matthew Richardson offering to help Mitch recover.

The offer's cool but the way he explains it has me worried, I was hoping to think of Mitch's injury as a 'wait out until pre-season 2013 and he'll be good as new' but it's looking like a messed up injury. Richo's saying he had to wear orthotics the rest of his career and the change in his running style contributed to frequent hamstring injuries. Really don't want to a see situation with Mitch where he can only string a limited number of games together before he's down again. Wtf footy gods? ACL wouldn't suffice? Had to snap that damn tendon in the middle of his foot.

Wish him all the best in his recovery and hope that he can be back to his old self in 2013. Minus any ongoing hamstring issues or whatever.

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 position. Lisfranc has many connections to other joints of the foot through it's tendons, and this is where it can get messy. These need to heal properly to ensure no further pain.

Also worth noting that Dr. Mark Blackney who operated on Mitch is absoloutely the cream of the crop in the orthopaedic, foot sector so we know Mitch is in the best of hands.

This. Mark Blackney operated on my foot (not Lisfranc, though). He's the best there is.

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
