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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
