Wait, isn't Mitchy that guy we got from Freo? I'm so confused!

Looks like Jeanne Pratt driving that car.

Trying not to get too excited, having learned that lesson from off seasons past, but it's getting more and more difficult. Damn you Roosy.

I forgot how agile he is at ground level.

I hope the injury has not taken any of that away.

My worry is if Trengove missed out on 6 weeks last preseason and struggled all year because of it how long will it take Clark to return to full fitness. (would be a good one to ask Misson)

I am sure Mr Missen has a programme for him. And playing FF/CHF is a bit different (fitness wise) from the midfield.

Just get the bloody foot right.

Clark is top 10, maybe top 5 at his very best.

Walker, Tippett, Pavlich, Nick Riewoldt, Franklin, Cloke and Josh Kennedy are all better. Clark plays some ripper matches but has a long way to go before he can be called anywhere near the best.

He will never be anyway because sadly for him, his career falls at a time when Jesse Hogan will be dominating the competition. He will be the best forward in the league.

Clark is better than all those players as a full forward - so perhaps I should've clarified Full Forward.

I give you Walker and Kennedy.

In fairness to Nick Riewoldt - he does not play your traditional FF role, so it's hard to compare, Riewoldt is absolutely at the top of the tree as far as CHF's go.

Pavlich fits in as a CHF/Mid, so I couldn't compare Clark with him.

But, you are right about Josh Kennedy, I'd have Clark and Walker just under Kennedy as dominant FF's.

Got a new flash in Dom Barry.

Whilst I hope to hell you are right, it is a long way premature to make that call, IMVHO. He hasn't even played one game yet.

Fingers crossed your right on that prediction!

Clark's good enough to win a Coleman.

If he plays 20 plus games next year and rediscovers his 2011 form I would back him in as well!

I was living in Sydney in 2012 and went to the game at the SCG where Howe took that mark. I walked away from that game with a massive man crush on Mr M. Clark. I was surrounded by moronic Sydney supporters and copped it all night but was very impressed with what i saw from the big man. It was the first time i saw him play apart from the highlight packages and thought he was what we needed. I hope he can keep himself fit for the whole season and provide us with that target up front and help Hogan develop.

It was a late afternoon game actually, so at least you only had to put up with them until early evening :-)... that was the first Dees game that my youngest son got to attend. Unfortunately Howe's mark and Clark's general play were the only good things to come out of that day; of course the other big disappointment (apart from the scoreline), was Jurrah's less than stellar return from injury (in fact, am I right in thinking he may have been re-injured in that game?).

I [censored] myself every time I see that someone has posted in this thread.

May I recommend Imodium or Lomotil then.

Melbourne Demons 2014 Forward Line. Do we call them the 4 Horseman?

Jeremy (Famine) - If he's in the marking contest, he'll starve you of the ball.

Mitch (Death) - What you'll experience when you get in his way.

Jesse (Conquest) - In the way he attacks the ball.

Chris (War) - His attitude on the entire game.

4 Horseman v2.0 lol

Sorry, I was unaware of this history (and still am)

The original Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were a Fremantle player, a Brisbane player, a Carlton player, and a guy who finished his career so brain damaged that he found himself wandering around a footy field with no idea how he got there or what was happening.

    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

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
