Clark was going brilliantly pre Christmas. He was in everything and there seemed to be no restraints placed on him by the coaching/medical staff and he was certainly training with full intent.

The slight hamstring issue has been going on for 4 weeks now but the club is still playing the 'carefully managed' line.

Thinking rationally of course, I just don't think he's going to string too many together this year. I hope I'm proven wrong.

Leaving rational thought aside McQueen history suggests you may unfortunately be right.

When a player is one of your most important and those hamstrings keep giving him trouble, you need to get the problem right. The club must be treat the injury conservatively and can afford to do so given we're still in the first half of February.

Agree. There are some who almost act like they would prefer to see him thrown in and break down completely so that they could then tell us how right they were to say what a waste of money he was.

(Note I said 'almost act' - I don't suggest any of us would actually want that. Just reacting to the continual negativity of some.)

Sue bemoaning the fact that Clark is seldom on the park cannot be con screwed to mean people want him to play and break down.

To vastly different things. By saying "almost" does not absolve from the suggestion.

It is like that handy one where people say

"with the greatest respect" and then go ahead and insult the person.

... bemoaning the fact that Clark is seldom on the park ...

A number of the posts on this thread go much further than that OD.

One can always be wrong bing but I have never seen anyone suggest "play him and to hell with the consequences"

I don't think that is fair. I said 'act like'. That is not the same as saying they want it to happen. Knowing that slight subtlety might be missed, I added what you saw as a 'greatest respect' type line which I agree is often a preamble to an insult. However I didn't say that. I straight out said I was certainly not accusing anyone of actually wanting it.

This has been really pleasant!

We have had a difference of opinion and managed to not insult each other.

Thank you.

You're just too bloody decent OD.

No surprise there ...

Clark is finished. Forever.

You do realise that the way you have structured your troll post - one game disproves your blanket statement?

But I hope you don't get what you are looking for - reaction. I hope you get help.

With Clark's immediate future in doubt, the onus is on Pedersen to step up big time and play Clark's role as a key forward.

Pedo should be aiming to kick 10-12 goals in the pre season series.

Aiming and achieving are two vastly different things BBP

Pop Gun is a Casey player on his good days he can fill a minor role

Planning for 2014 probably does not include him at this stage.

Situation normal lets get on with it and talk about him in May or June.

Just said that Clark has done his hammy again and will be out for a month.

Source is a Facebook supercoach page, so take it as you will.

Readig the MFC article it indicates that Clark will be available in 4 wks and Garland in 4-6 wks, so Clark in time for round 1 and Garland there abouts.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
