Mitch Clark-ankle incident


Disco Demons

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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 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.

Clark wont play for the next month.

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

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.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
