Complications from last year's Lisfranc operation put a disappointing and premature end to his season and cruelled Mark Neeld's forward line planning. The question mark over whether he can return to full fitness in 2014 will be the key to how far the team can improve next year.

Getting a fully fit Mitch back onto the field, together with (again fully fit) Dawes and Hogan would be one hell of a boost.

I wish them all well.

Mitch's inability to put in full seasons has been the final nail in the coffin the past two seasons.

After a whole year on the sidelines he is not going to be in peak fitness but I don't think he has to be in order to have an impact. With Dawes, Hogan and Watts in the team Clark can stay in the forward 50m if he has to whilst the other three can push up the ground and crash packs.

The MFC was saying that he could return before the end of the year - that surely means his fitness can't be to bad? (a couple months ago half of demonland were saying he would never return).

Like all of our team he needs a big injury free preseason (lets hope Arizona helps out Clark and Dawes).

Its interesting that Neeld didn't go for high altitude training after coming from Colingwood (they did a lot of research into high altitude training).

Anyway it will be great having Clark back out there and he and Dawes will have an immense impact I think (they wont be dropping their heads after we get a few goals kicked against us).

Has a lot to prove took a massive pay packet and through no fault of his own hasn't been on the field.

However despite his injuries he has been one of a very few shinning lights in last 2 years.

So sad...

Has nothing at all to prove, he's clearly a gun. Just needs to get fit.

I'm forever the optimist. Richo had this injury and played his best footy after it. I'm not aware of any other documented cases in the AFL. People on this forum familiar with the injury (like Webber) reckon he'll be okay. Can't see any logic in those who reckon he's done; it's just instinctive pessimism without any basis in fact.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
