Mitch Clark is Back

[alias275 259]

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.

Well feel free to come up with another name. Wasn't aware it was already reserved.

Relax. Light hearted joke for the old school Demonland members. Call them whatever makes you happy.

Call me a grumpy old cynic but maybe the threads title should read Mitch hopes he's back

Until he strings together the better part of a season he hasnt even arrived, let alone got back !! just saying

Grumpy old cynic

I didn't mean that in a negative way. I wasn't sure if it was something sentimental or a joke. Totally relaxed here

Nooooooooooo, we don't call them the Four Horsemen. That name has history on this site.

Haha you beat me to it.

Wow that was a throw back!

It certainly puts this current good feeling about coach and recruiting into perspective doesn't it...

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

Darn censorship, leaves my completely mystified to what you do to yourself... sounds saucy but

Ah those were the days of blind optimism and sweet sweet mediocrity.

How innocent we were in 2003. After the highs of 2000 who could have predicted the last 7 years...

[binman 38,918]

Did that used to be one of those affirmations painted on our change room wall?

We were so blind to the pain that was about to come.

Alistair Nicholson was seriously our biggest problem back then.

Bring back Al!

I have read a couple of articles and posts that suggest Clark could play ruck. Not sure what everyone else thinks but I am not keen on this idea as I think he is only middle of the road as a ruck but dominant as a forward. I also understood that he himself didn't love rucking. I'm happy for our rucks like Gawn to learn their trade rather than robbing peter to pay paul. The bulldogs have Minson who is a stellar ruck but he also has had excellent rovers running around him, they also fall into a big hole when they go forward. I feel we would end up like that with Clark not settled as a forward as we move forward with our shiny new toys next year. Without doubt the pain of the last six years has been worse that '76-'84 for me personally but I do believe our centre will improve with the new regime and having a settled forward line (and back six) will be gold, and I think Clark needs to be the forward leader not pinch hitting. When we were not a rabble I always though we struggled in the back for a key FB and while having some awesome forwards and brilliant goal kickers we did struggle to keep them on the park (as I think WJ noted in another post how we were cruelled by injuries during the Balme era). Any thoughts, anyone awake back home in Oz?

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.

I liked it. I have always thought that our forward line and the Apocalypse go well together ... :-)

Jeremy (Famine) unless they have a better mid field and then he goes hungry himself

Mitch (Death) came close to this with regards to his football career due to long term injuries

Jesse (Conquest) First year AFL player in 2014 still has alot to learn about the game but lets all put massive expectation on him so we can bag him more if he does not deliver from the 1 minute of game 1

Chris (War) the best public speaker in the team, pity he is so injury prone. But could give the pre game pep talk to the team.

Besides a rookie AFL Player this is the same guys that was part of the worst team in the league.

IMO it is not important as to what they may do as its all about what they actually do.

I still can't get over this post. It really sums up our last 10 years.

I know. Seems like a lifetime ago doesn't it. And Belly - it's such a sad story from both a team and personal point of view. Last I heard he'd undergone some treatment that greatly improved his cognitive faculties - would love another "where are they now" type feature on him.
