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.

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...

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

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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
