For anyone who wants to know how far some players go for this club check out Mitch Clark's twitter feed.

You sure it's not just him getting some gym photos?

I am fairly certain he could do that throughout the week. Highly unlikely he drove to the club on a saturday night just to take a photo of the gym

So a guy whose barely played in 2 yrs (obviously through no fault of his own) is doing an extra session on a Sat night. Given his large salary and clear commitment to the club I'd call that par for the course. Great guy and love watching him play, but don't think it's too unexpected.

I wonder how many other players on big salaries would be doing this

You reckon when Buddy did his hammy he was in the gym on a saturday night ?

You think any of our players do this ?

Not by the look of this photo they don't

Firstly, most people don't think buddy did his hammy.

Second, anyone on about $600k p/a and unable to do their job for much of the last 2 yrs due to injury should be putting in extra hours (yes even on a Sat night) to get back to work.

No offence tingles but this is hardly inspiring.

I've just knocked off from a 14 hour day and I'm going to the gym too. Am I committed? No I'm bloody stupid because I should be going to blow the froth off a couple.

But anyway.. "Yay Mitch!"

How about you give credit when it is due....great stuff Clarky, I hope he gets the rewards for his hard work. Set the example

Perhaps you didn't use much energy over 14 hours at work.

Yeah sure, good on him, but no big deal.

How committed do you really have to be to not go out and get [censored] on a Saturday night? People have been doing it for hundreds of thousands of years.

I am aware that he should be doing it .. the point I was making is how many of our players do you think actually do things like this ?
Clarky is setting an example and by the looks of the empty gym it seems he is the only one there. I am aware some other players may have done it but judging on our performances of late I am not sure many do extra work

It's called dedication.

Sorry, but I don't understand what anyone is talking about here. And I don't really understand the twitter jargon.

I opened the link and saw a load of photos from what appears to be a US trip. What is the big deal?

I'm impressed that Mitch is 'dedicated' enough to respond to your tweet Tingles, assuming you are luke_tingles.

The extra session is what a guy of his ability, standing and professionalism should be doing. And yes, good on him for that.

Yeah I was happy with that

Yeah as I stated I am aware he should be doing it however my point was are there many on our current list who would be doing it ?

I believe Jimmy Magner used to turn up to the club at sparrows f@rt to do early gym sessions. Look where that got him! ;) ;)

Jimmy was limited as a footballer but I still say good on him for doing it

Had a reasonable year at VFL level.

But what about the Tapscott's, Bleases, Trengove's and the like. I'm also tipping Cale Morton and Jordan Gysberts never did it

Do you know for a fact that Tappy, Blease or Trenners do not do extra work on top of their Club sessions? I don't, but my guess is most players do extra work, whether it be gym, running, bike, swimmjng, etc. I don't think Mitch would like the implication that others are slack because the gym was empty on a Sat night. Is that your point? No offence, but I just don't get the purpose of this thread.

Good to see he's a professional.

On a scale of 1 to Robert Harvey I rate it at 'affirming nod'.

Not exciting, just pleasant.

I also must give an affirming nod to "Most people don't think Buddy did his hammy" as being one the finest pieces of diplomatic language I've seen in a while. Well done Moonshadow.

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
