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

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
