"Melbourne forward Mitch Clark will undergo minor surgery on his right foot, and will miss the next 6-8 weeks of football."

MITCH CLARK TO MISS UP TO TWO MONTHS

Definitely not the best news!

Mitch Clark (foot) 6-8 weeks

Mitch Clisby (shin) test

Jesse Hogan (corked thigh) test

James Sellar (ill) test

    Trying to make the best of a bad situation, bring on Magner if Clark can be put on the long term list.

    This year may wind up being worse than last year somehow. What a hole this club is in at the moment.
    Let's hope Dawes can come in and provide a consistent target. We'll need him performing well since we barely get it down there as it is!

    Just reported that Mitch is ot for 6 to 8 weeks to have surgery on his foot.

    I am hoping this means Watts gets a chance to cement a spot up forward.

    Also it should give a chance to include some midfield grunt in Magner if the club decides that Clark will certainly play no football over the next 8 weeks.

    Watts, Dawes, Howe as key targets it looks like. Gee it gets no better

    Ok, well, of all the 2 month lay offs, I guess having a screw removed because the old injury is going well is a good one...

    I wouldn't be surprised if Fitzpatrick gets a call up as well... so it would be Watts, Dawes, Howe, Fitzpatrick, Gawn and Byrnes... not too bad. At least it is to remove the possible cause of his current problems and to free him up for good (screw removal).

    And on the subject, it now looks like Rivers will be gone for quite a few weeks as his knee is worse than previously thought... have to feel for Geelong (a luxury I can now afford as hey are no threat to our position on the ladder), having lost both Rivers and Menzel to longer term knee injuries.

    While he's out we can work on mids' delivery to the forward line, so we can reward his perseverance upon his return with the ball delivered on a silver platter after every clearance...

    Good luck Mitch, hang in there.

    The MFC website hinted at this after last weekends match. Dissapointed but not surprised. Magner is surely a must to come off the rookie list now ?! But nothing wld surprise me at the MFC. Probably leave him there for the rest of the year. I just hope they bring Gillies, Sellar and Joel back in real soon. I'm salivating at the prospect of having all 3 plus Pedo in the same team!

    If Fitzy is EVER going to get an opportunity it's now.

    Kicking goals hasnt been our problem, its getting it out of the centre and inside fifty.

    Enter one James Magner.

    Saw the big fella on Saturday morning at a local Prahran coffee shop, he was wearing a moon boot. I said to my wife, that this doesn't look good. I was hoping that it was precautionary....I was obviously wrong.

    I feel sorry for him after being out for 12wks last year, he must be [censored].

    I'm assuming so, I got a chuckle out of it. :)

    We're one of the best teams this year for efficiency inside 50m, but one of the worst for getting it there.

    Nooooooooooooo !!!!

    Upgrade Magner

    Leave Watts up forward

    Enter one C Dawes

    haha same

    Add Fitzy and Seller to the mix and you have an all star line up

    Fitzy kicked 4 for Casey. Has been good there this year. Has he done enough to earn a spot?

    • 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.
