Mitch Clark

It's been a while now since his unfortunate injury. Does anyone know how he is going such as can he walk without the moonboot etc? I really hope his injury is not a career finishing one. But, knowing the luck of the MFC it could be. Gee, I'm a pessimist!

[stuie 7,374]

From what I know, he's still hobbling but is in the gym with a few other leg injury boys, so guessing just upper body for now... guessing tho

[monoccular 17,439]

Recovery from this trivial sounding but potentially very serious injury is no certainty and I think we must just give him as much time as it takes.

I would take the lack of comment by the club, or by Mitch himself, as just reflecting this uncertainty rather than a cover up.

[Whispering_Jack 30,244]

Nothing sinister here at all. Mitch tweeted recently that he was back in light training.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

He has a facebook page now and said he was doing weight sessions with Bennell and he was feeling good. Round 1 2013 hurry up!

Not without good reason BM

Gee I hope lack of talent does not rub off on him!

What a goose of a thing to say.

Yes, to quote:

Solid session today in the gym with JB and Flash Davey. Feels good being back with the boys and finally doing some training. Bring on 2013!

Spoke to Mitch at the G on Sunday. Yes, he's in a moonboot and still on crutches. He made my nephews' day, signing their football and having their photo taken with him. It's that sort of interaction with players that will ensure they're Demon supporters for the rest of their life. Thanks, Mitch!

One of The critical parts of the recovery process is complete non weight bearing for several months.

There is really nothing else to report one way or the other at this stage.,and There is nothing sinister in non reporting because there would really be nothing to report .

In next phase when he he starts running etc will be better able to judge post op progress .

[Pates 9,660]

Really happy for them to take their time with him, the most important player on our list.

[My TD 156]

And most expensive

[Dannyz 2,761]

Got alot of respect for Mitch with the regular fan interraction and giveaway. He's obviously very passionate about Melbourne too. Worth every cent so far.

[PaulRB 6,393]

And most expensive

To think we could have spent the same money on keeping Tom Scully...

... who?

[Samsara 65]

Not really worth every sense from a playing perspective, given he has missed most of his first season and has an injury with potential long term ramifications.

In every other sense, I totally agree (e.g., interaction, work to promote club etc) but having a paid player actually play is important in assessing the overall worth.

[PaulRB 6,393]

Fair point. Fingers crossed his injury is not chronic...

[autocol 448]

having a paid player actually play is important in assessing the overall worth.

Sure, but up until his injury he was well and truly earning the biccies, from my perspective. Put in 100%, played with pride in the jumper, and kicked a sh!tload of goals. Excellent recruiting on our part, just bad luck with the injury.
