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.

They will/should be. If only Flash was 19 again.

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!

Second best after Hogan.

Gee, bit of a back handed compliment there! Second best after someone who is yet to play his first game at senior level? :o

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.

The best thing about recruiting all these mids is the knowledge that they will have Clark and Hogan to kick it to! What an amazing injection of talent these two talls will be!

They future finally is looking bright.

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.

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.

    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
