When Mitch Clark went down it took forever for the medical team to get over to Mitch. This was pathetic. Everyone is bashing the players. The medical staff seemed asleep when Mitch put his hand up for help.

    Did anyone see three guys run to the bench then get told to run back on?

    What is going on with the whole coaching staff?

    The team is confused, and plays that way.

    What was worse was Sylvia being within 15 metres of the ball

    but instead running to the boundary to keep the rotations going.

    We are over coached. No doubt about it.

    When Mitch was on the ground in agony holding his foot, I felt physically ill.. Honestly I hadnt felt thaty bad since the Ox did his knee for the 3rd time. I was positive he had broken his foot or torn the Lisfracn again.

    Im still a bit scared that he will have scans tomorrow and something bad might be there.

    There was a lot to make you feel sick today, but Clark going down was seriously the moment I wanted to just give it all up, walk out and never come back.

    Great to see him come back on, but he could hardly walk and I'm sick of so few trying so hard and killing themselves in the process. Bring Dawes in, underdone or otherwise, we have to help this poor man before he does irreparable damage, because god knows he's trying.

    Absolutely the same feeling. Last year he was able to walk off the ground and Neeld said he should be alright in 2 weeks, then the scans came. It was indicative of the day that when he went for a marking contest after coming back on there was a collective breath skipped in the MCG. Why they bothered to bring him back on is beyond me.

    EDIT: Wanted to add, when he went down I said to my folks who i was with, "if he gets taken off on a stretcher I'm going home". Kinda wish he'd stayed down so I had an excuse.

    it wouldnt have happened if bloody pederson kicked it correctly to clark and hit him up, he had his oppenent left for dead and anything that was remotely near him he would have marked and kicked the goal

    Yes I seen it, It was a laughing stock ,No idea what they were doing, I also even saw Mckenzie step onto the ground then the trainer quickly grab him back to the bench, dont know how the AFL offical missed it

    Did you also notice that he hobbled half way with only one trainer helping. Finally a second arrived to assist with the rest of the distance. I hate the filth but their support structures would never allow such a situation to arise.

    That would have been the point we packed up..... Time seemed to stand still there for a minute

    i loved it when the trainers went to help him off when he first got up and he just pushed them away, but needed the help when he closer to the interchange

    also i nearly jumped onto the field and took on the port cheer squad when they cheered when mitch held his hand up for help....SA scum

    Na no facts. just simply stating it as after his ankle problems they we be so careful. Blease had the same sort of issue and he missed over a month.

  • Quote

    Clark wont play for the next month.

    Is that an official word out of the club or your prediction/pessimism.

    We have been ultra conservative with injuries over the last how ever many years wouldn't see that changingnbut good god can't wait to see Dawes and big Mitch in the one side.

    They started cheering when he got on his feet, not when he injured himself. I was sitting very close to the PA cheersquad.

    It's the medical staffs problem we lost is it?

    Really come on they got out there pretty quick. They were probably attending to other players on the sidelines. He wasn't in any imminent threat of dying.

    Credit to big Mitch for getting up and going back out there. Shows his commitment to the cause.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
