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.

    Not much point resting him , coming back and getting injury to worsen. Will he be ready to play in 8 weeks?

    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!

    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?

    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.

  • Quote

    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!

    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"

    We can't catch a break. This season is one from hell.

    I thought that was last year? This is like Groundhog Day, but without the brilliant sarcasm of Bill Murray.

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

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
