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.

Posted

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.

I have heard some concerning rumours about Mitch Clark. Does anyone have the real story on his recovery?

And those supposed rumours are.........?

Point of thread unless you fill in the blanks???

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.

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.

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.

unius culpa

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
