Has anyone been down to training lately and seen Clark? Is he running yet? Is he doing anything?

 

last i heard he was doing off leg training full time and going to start weight bearing and running in the next few weeks

I just hope we have more sense than to rush him back. No point in bringing him back this season (possibly prematurely), keep him on ice for next season when he will be back to full strength and dominant as ever, as long as there are no permanent lasting effects from th injuries.
 

Just seems conflicting information leaking out here and there, with little that's concrete. Not sure why Misson made no mention of him (at all) in this week's injury report. Somewhat worrying that that's the case.

Definitely a bit worrying, you'd think if there was positive news there'd be no reason to hold it back but all reason to keep negative stuff quiet.


Wasn't it mentioned as an aside in one of the game day or post game day or Casey threads, that he was possibly going to be playing at Casey soon? Might be wrong, but I'm sure I saw something.

Clark and Hogan together at Casey, salivating prospect.

Nice to see that senile dementia hasn't taken over completely... here it is courtesy of The Yarra.

I also thought it was odd that the was no update in last week's report. Why wouldn't we want to be informative as we could be about the state of play in relation to Mitch's foot? Who would we be trying to keep the news from? It's not as if we'd be wanting to play our cards close to our chest for the Finals and it's certainly not going to cause the supporters more stress than they're used to! Maybe we're after Buddy as a replacement for a soon-to-be retired Mitch and we don't want to signal our interest.......then again, it's probably just a mistake.


I can't help but think the news on Clark isn't good. He doesn't even get a mention in the weekly injury update.

Surely if he was progressing well they would be keen to discuss this in their weekly recording.

A number of posts on this thread have been deleted for breaches of Internet etiquette. Speculation is fine but unfounded claims and offensive remarks to other posters aren't welcome here.

Discussion on Mitch Clark's injury can continue when the club issues its next injury list.

Needless to say, this thread is closed.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
