Just that his foot may be a problem in healing. I hope he's Ok for him personally first, but Gee he'll be great for us if OK.
 

his foot is now 100%

he is training at 100%

The coaches are having to hold him back a bit to be safe but he is like a bull in a china shop

Lets not forget his 2nd surgery was to remove the screw that was causing irritation. Its not like he had another break or anything

Cant wait to see him out there in round 1 !!


Certainly looked 100% at training yesterday.

Where did you hear them and what did they actually say beyond "his foot is having trouble healing"?

As I keep saying, if people are going to post rumours, at least provide some substance.
 

We know he's [censored] awesome.


What happens when you have two bulls (Clark and Hogan) in a china shop!!??

I guess us long suffering Demon fans have become natural pessimists, especially over the last few years. But also extending back through the likes of Lyon, Ox, Tingay, Glenn Lovett, Sean Charles, Paul Prymke, Jakovich, even James Cook. All had their careers curtailed by chronic or recurring injuries. Even Liam Jurrah had his big woes start as a result of being home recuperating rather than playing for us.

I guess we just hope like hell that Mitch's name doesn't get added to that list.

Sorry - did I mention the nature rumour. Oh yes I didn't - simply asked for an update from somone who knows.

Demonland negativity alive and well.

Somebody is having a lend of you mate.

He has no lingering issues as a result of his foot injury.

It's now just a matter of getting his fitness back up to speed after a long lay-off.

Hope you're wrong D17.

Rumours including those which turn out to be false are part and parcel of the AFL.

Unfortunately, it's something we have to live with.

If one starts a thread based on an unsubstantiated rumour without any elaboration, or stating where it came from, they deserve a holiday.

And if one writes in the third person, one also deserves a holiday for high grade pomposity.

And for those of us without a latin bible or a priest's knee to sit on ?

 

So Clark is re-gaining fitness, Hogan is apparently 'training the house down' but what about the third member of the triumvirate of terror - Dawes. Anyone got an idea as to when he could be expected back in full training?

I am so looking forward to watching the 3 of them jog into the forward line before the bounce round one. A proper man sized forward line. Actually XXXL. No more Brad Green as a focal point or robbing the back line of Col Garland or watching Jack Watts get monstered in one on ones. No more getting bullied, no more bruise free footy. Nup

Just 3 genuinely big blokes who all have go, who can all play smart footy and who are all aggressive to man and ball..

I am hoping it will be a Melbourne like none we have seen before

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
