haha same

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

Fitzy form is much better than Sellars.

Id love to see Fitzy and Dawes in that forward line with Watts and Howe.

Magner to clear the ball and Kent to boot it long in there , with Gawny resting inside 50 as well.

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

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 foo

Yep Magner will be upgraded so Neeld can play him in his natural defensive forward position

If Fitzy is going to 'make it' his time is now....... What you say dosen't sound too bad DeeZee

Knowing the MFC's luck recently surely nothing good can happen in 2013 ;)

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

Enter one James Magner.

And then watch Neeld misuse him as a defensive half forward again!

I knew as soon as they said sprain in the same area as the lisfranc it was potentially bad news.

In a way this is a good thing compared to what could've happened.

The screw can be taken out and any scar tissue cleaned up. After a period of rest to whatever ligament is strained he might be well and truly healed.

Obviously Mitch's year is now down the drain but he won't need off season surgery.

It allows us to learn to play smarter footy. Also says to Dawes, Pedersen and Fitzpatrick please show us what you've got! Not to mention Magner must be upgraded.

Other teams get early prognoses' of worse outcomes but they end up being 1-2 weeks, it always seems like for us what appears to be an innocuous injury turns into a serious one.

Look at Lecras! He was meant to be out for ages and came back after 3 weeks!

Back luck (again) big fella. Come back fit, healthy, and hungry!

Isn't LTI 10 weeks minimum? As in if a player goes on LTI it is for a mandated 10 weeks at a minimum, then a rookie can be upgraded?

It's an 8 week minimum.

Took a while to confirm it, but managed to do it through an article on Gawn:

"The 208cm ruckman will be forced to stay on the LTI list for a minimum of eight weeks... The move gives the Demons the flexibility to promote a rookie if necessary"

Dawes still at least a week away you'd think.

Gives Fitzy a chance to play for his AFL career at least.....

Watts, Fitzpatrick and a resting Gawn/Jamar as our tall targets against Carltank.

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

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-04-30/clark-to-miss-up-to-two-months

Definitely not the best news!

Not the best new, however, there are a few positives.

  • Mitch Clark will have the screw removed and play the last 8-10 games and have a FULL PRE SEASON at years end.
  • Magner or Couch can be elevated from the rookie list to provide much needed grunt in the middle, and maybe lift the clearance stats. (that is of course Clark can be put on the LTI list)
  • Jack Watts to play up forward. I know I will be shot down for this, however, Watts will have more help in the forward line..

Thats my view on it all, I do not see this as doom and gloom.

Don't fear. I've heard that Melbourne's doctors are considering a new experimental surgery where they will attempt to remove Mitch's heart and insert it into Jack Watts' chest as a temporary measure. They'll then place the heart in Mitch's chest again after 8-10 weeks. We'll be fine.

Ahhh a Jack Watts joke... It used to be said "sarcasm is the lowest form of humour", but these days i think it's Watts jokes.

Watts and dawes up forward won't be too bad, just hope the big fella is alright!

Yeah nah, just takin' out the metal so the hole can be replaced with some bone growth (rather than bone growing over the fastener(s)).

I actually thought that one was pretty good.

In a situation like this... only Nicolas Cage can describe my emotional rollercoaster

Reaction to him being put onto the LTL and a rookie being elevated:

Thinking of Magner or Couch:

Possibility might have a better midfeild and Clark still being able to get a few games at the end of the season/full preseason:

Get better soon Mitch!

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
