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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
