Mitch Clark

Recommended Posts

And Fitzy is coming on in leaps and bounds with the opportunity. Which begs the question what will happen to Fitzy if and when Clark comes back next year. I can't see the point of having two 200cm forward/ruckmen in the same forward line. We need a short speedy forward pocket not another 200cm player. Going to be a tough call in the next two years or so.

Certainly hope Dawes produces something better than last weekend or maybe he'll be the one not to get a game once Hogan is there. There's a lot of players to fit into that forward line if Clark comes good and some are going to have to miss out. Not a bad problem to have for once.

Or maybe Hogan is the one to miss out?

Just because he's the great white hope, his form has to warrant him getting a game.

And let's face it, none of Dawes, Clark, Fitzpatrick or Hogan are going to be available at the one time as we are such an injury prone club.

I would only trade Fitz for a quality midfielder or classy goal kicking small forward

Now for some good news, according to the injury report Mitch is back Running and training with the Rehab group, and his foot is actually going quite well

Lets hope it doesn't reoccur. Could be game over if it does.

i think it's pretty rare isn't it? fingers crossed anyway, make or break rehab for big Mitch

The question is whether he is pain free after training. I am sure he won' t play again this year. No need to anyway.

Yeah, would be stupid to even consider playing him this year, infact i think they have stated that he won't regardless of what else happens, but the fact he is running again is a huge step forwards imo.

Extremely unlikely.

This isn't like a hamstring tear where scar tissue can create a weakness.

Clark will be fine.

The club is just being overly cautious because of how important he is.

I spoke to Misso last week. He says there is no issue with the injury. He'll be 100%. The mid season problem was apparently caused by a screw moving and rubbing against a toe. This was causing too much pain to continue so it had to be removed. It wasn't actually a complication with the injury itself. Apparently he's going as expected after the surgery. They are just being conservative so he's ready to go for the pre season.

Like I said, Clark will be fine.

It's normal to have a bit of pain for a good few months after having a screw removed, as bone grows where the screw was.

Kinda like mild arthritis.

But structurally the lisfranc is sound.

Just cautiously letting it heal completely and rebuilding his fitness after over a year off.

I would hope that he is being handled very very carefully in his running program.

He is such a vital player to us, we can't afford any risk of aggravation.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
