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?).

    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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
