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.

I think you're right, I don't believe he was rushed backed last time and this won't be any different.

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.

Cautious is good.

Game over Clark. Hello Tom Boyd?

Clark who?

Sorry, been so long I nearly forgot who he was. ;).

You Know Moonshadow Works at the Daily planet newspaper.

Think his last name is Kent.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
