Mitch Clark is Back

Featured Replies

 

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.

Congratulations to @MitchClark11 who proposed to his girlfriend (now fiancé) Sam - pic.twitter.com/yMtmvnXUVD

Congrats Mitchy! may 2014 bring you more joy to your life.

And don't book a September wedding!!

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!

 

Yeah!Yeah! Congrats but play 20 or so games and kick some goals.

That is about the nuts and bolts of it.

Play 20 games


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

That is about the nuts and bolts of it.

Play 20 games

As long as it includes all three winning finals I will be happy :-)))))))))

Nuts and bolts were taken out last I heard...

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.

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

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?).

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.

You may.

 

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

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.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
