Mitch Clark - What do we know?

[Demon17 5,067]

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

[T-34 409]

??????

[Demon17 5,067]

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.

[What 18,810]

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 !!

[Demon17 5,067]

Thanks HH - made my day/season.

[T-34 409]

Certainly looked 100% at training yesterday.

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.

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.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

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.

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 ?

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

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

Pretty sure it is "win the clearance"
