Mitch Clark's comments in regards to his foot injury:

"I'm on track and the good news is we've got time. I'm just not trying to rush it at the moment and stay patient,"

"I'll be hoping to play a couple of NAB Cup games and go from there.

"It's pretty much fully healed and I've just got to slowly progress. The surgeons and the physios are happy how it's progressing and listen to them and do as I'm told.

The amount of love I have the bloke is ridiculous. Best thing that has happened to our club in the last 6 years.

 

Looking forward to seeing him back on the park with Dawes

His media conference was good, he speaks so well, I have the biggest man crush on this fella! Answered everything thrown at him very well!


Probably this is equal best news over the preseason along with the recruitment of JV.

Good luck Mitch.

Pretty pathetic how grown men have a "man crush" on this guy. He's mine so back off.

Jesse Hogan learning from Mitch Clark... I salivate. Bit different from Aaron Davey learning from Adem Yze etc...

I'd say he's the best thing to happen since this day in 2004, especially around Pick 43...

I used to hate this guy when he was at Brisbane, but I'll be honest it was probably because he would so easily account for whoever we through at him, and he would dominate us. Was in 2 minds when we picked him up, but i have to say I've been so impressed with the attitude he puts forward on and off the park. He hasn't been there long but he really seems to live and breath the Demons now. I love it!

It worried me that Mitch said he's nearly ready to start jogging on the "tready"". What a slow process is the recovery from a Lisfranc fracture!

Let's hope that jogging doesn't aggravate it. We need him to be able to run normally soon, or he'll be handicapped by an interrupted pre-season.

Ironic hey? He had the first half of his season this season interupted by a bunch of handicaps.

PS. Too far? Apologies if so and will delete if it upsets some.

Edit - forgot that it's still 2012, so had to change to "this season".

I had similar thoughts - who the hell is this and why do Neeld et al rate him so highly. It didn't take long for me to become a huge convert.

We need him to run normally for years to come, so if he doesn't do a full preseason 2013 but makes a full recover then so be it. The worst thing would be to rush him back into full training prematurely and stuff it up for all time.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
