Just watched Mitch on Eddie's show and was very impressed with the lad and the way he spoke, mentioned how he had learnt a lot of things off voss,brown,black,scott bros,leper etc. Also showed his emotions when talking about the great man, Jimmy,(quote) "it was just his presence" when asked by ed, what was it about Jimmy?

It would seem he really loves it at the Dee's and wants to lead from the front and is relishing his role down forward. Wouldn't mind if he was made captain, reckon he could b a bit more game turning & inspiring to his team mates than our current co capt's.

Worth watching if possible people.

Ed also noticed that he started to tear up when discussing Jimmy. Even though he only met Jimmiy a couple of times, it clearly had a profound effect on him.

I know it's stating the obvious, but Clark's been worth every dollar of the investment the club made, despite the season ending injury..

Some of our players should just watch the big man in action to learn what the term 'ultra-competitive spirit' means.

If only we took Ben Hudson...

Ah yes...the day Leigh Matthews lost all credibility. Remember it well..

I watched as well and thought apart from his obvious unease at being in the spotlight he spoke very well.

He enjoys having a role up forward.

Some interesting comments on Jurrah who is obviously well liked in the club.

Clearly a recruiting success which bodes well for us going forward.

A great pickup in a year of pretty ordinary results. I wonder where we'd be without him to be honest...

Here it is...

An all-round impressive lad. Let's hope that the likes of Clark are a sign of things to come at the MFC.

Thanks for that 3183. Yep impressive young bloke that. Willbe a Dee for a long time yet

OMG - that flying leap when he lands on his head still makes me cringe. Love Mitch - he's a top bloke. Love having him at the Dees.

I'm pretty certain that I am emotionally, physically and spiritually in love with Mitch Clark.

He is the bestest thing to have happened to our club in a shitload of time.

Just please please please let his foot heal properly!

I would have him and Nathan Jones in my bed in an absolute second.

And I'm saying that as a straight man.

I'll just watch if that's all right-for god sake dont injure them.

Yeah Matthews-knows nuthin' .

I know it's still early days, but I reckon Clark could very well be the best lateral recruit we've ever landed.

I was absolutely stoked when we got him, but I had no idea at the time he'd be as good as he's ended up being.

We've had a blinder here.

Dare I say it... Just hoping for a ful recovery. We need this bloke, not just becuase we ween a bloody good forward ( we do ) but he brings a vigour and passion to his role that many could emulate.

Its his level of commitment and professionalism which we need to replicate through the team.

You can understand why we went hard to get him.

The recruitment of Clark was amazing for a number of reasons.

But what gives me the most confidence about it, is that clearly Neeld and co. can spot talent.

Many scoffed when we chased him, many things were said. But he has turned out exactly as Neeld and co. wanted

And this is what really intrigues me as to who is in the crosshairs currently for recruitment. That was all done on the run, this time round we have a different FD with different views and having had a good year to prepare. it bodes well ( for mine )

Well if the reports are to be believed, we offered a large contract to MacKay from the Crows.

One certainly from left field, but must fit the profile they're looking for

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
