All about Mitch Clark

He's got a body similar to Balsa Wood unfortunately, he's a day to day proposition .

Balsa wood has incredible strength to weight ratio actually. If his body was similar to balsa wood, he'd be the strongest bloke in the comp by a long way.

That is a very big call JVF.

If it were true how come we did not win the first six NINE games of 2012?

Edited for accuracy!

I noticed that as well.

Clark was brillant in 2012 kicking 29 goals in 10 games but we won just 2 games in that period. We actually won just as many games without him in the back half of 2012.

And last year when we kicked 12 goals in the last qtr V GWS, Clark was off the ground.

But having said that it's hard to argue that he's not the most important player at the MFC.

he should have picked the priesthood instead of entertainment

stop kidding around?

Losing the first six games of 2012 had absolutely nothing to do with Clark, I recall him in pretty much every one of those games picking the ball up from his toes at full pace and snapping goals, his set shots were a standout especially his accuracy from tough angles and he was charging into packs and sitting on blokes heads. He is vital to us. Personally I don care if he doesn't return until later in the season, as long as he is right, the boys need his fearless attitude out there.

There is nothing wrong with Clark's foot, it's his hamstrings giving him trouble due to a lack of training over a sustained period.

This is what I have heard and read too GG.

It's amazing how stories come about

Just quietly, that's a very eclectic range of interests you have in your profile...

Yes, I particularly like the Russ Meyer interest... Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is one of my favourite "trash" films along with most of John Waters' films.

Mitch Clark straightens us up, others benefit and with our mids the last 2 years it was bombed under pressure or the ball went in the opposite direction many times.

I have a very good feeling that will change..

Foot looks OK

Looks OK to me.

Does this one pass the DL review?

Toady, I have no idea what to make of these pictures. In the first one that you posted, which I presumed was the "before" shot given he was wearing an old training top, Mitch has many tattoos on display, in particular one on his right quad, as well as his left forearm.

In the "after" shot, they freakishly disappeared like Marty McFly did in those photos in Back to the Future.

To top it off, it hasn't been confirmed or denied that Mitch has had his left leg amputated at the knee.

I'm bloody confused.

I find it interesting that no one from the club has publicly stated (that I can find) that Clark has had hamstring problems. It's just been referred to as a "hiccup".

Hiccups can be quite debilitating.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
