All about Mitch Clark


All the Jacks

Recommended Posts

It's a hamstring, everyone needs to calm the hell down.

His foot is fine, but when you go from zero activity to trying to be athletically competitive again, you will get injured along the way.

I'd rather they manage him carefully and we see him fully fit in Round 8 and for the next 6 years.

Wow what confidence!

How do you re do your hamstring when supposedly only doing slow laps?

That's a good question. It seems to be a carry over from one he did a month or so back. Having done a lot of Hammies they can be very tricky, I can pull up sore after a light jog now but I'm a fair bit older than Mitch and did my first one in the bad old days where they didn't have a proper rehab program apart from missing 4 games.

Having said that I think the media might have picked up on the hamstring reported in the club injury list and have seen it as a new injury. May or may not be.

My mail (from a good source) is that we shouldn't be worried about his hammy.

It's his passionate love of photography that has curbed his enthusiasm for the game, and could well see him exit footy at contract's end.

He hasn't "done" his hamstring.

It's just soreness, leading to wise caution.

I think he might have 'Machsy', just maybe not now. He was wearing some kind of bandage around his upper thigh at training in early Jan (he was mainly watching on and doing a little bit of handball). It may be soreness now.

His passionate love of money might curb his enthusiasm for photography for a little while yet.

That wouldn't surprise after all the club set him up for life with the juicy contract put in front of him, he could've played at Freo and would've taken him 8 seasons to make the money, if you can't play consistently retirement would be in the back of his mind.

I don't know how good a photographer he is, but they are generally a dime a dozen. If he wants money, footy is a surer bet for him.

He will never sign another contract again that would be worth more than $ 250,000 a season, still great coin so to match that you would want to take a good snap.

He is actually a very good photographer... well above average I would say, with a very good eye for composition and mood which in this day and age of digital photography, is probably the difference between success and failure.

But I would say that he is far from finished with his football career... he strikes me as the kind of person who will not leave while there is unfinished business.

Yep. He'll have plenty of time after he finishes his career to play with his lense.

Hard to imagine him being voted into the leadership group if his investment in the club/team was waining.

If he cannot juggle football and landscape photography, then I'd have no problem if he left the club.

We only want footballers who want to play football - and more so, want to play for the MFC.

Nothing about Clark suggests that he is about to abandon plans of playing football.

But, of course, he has been injured for some time and one can say some silly things when they are frustrated.

Demonland loves going into meltdown, but unless you are M_9 how do you know it was tongue in cheek? Does chookrat=M_9?

I don't doubt that your source truly believes this, but it just doesn't sound likely to me. Compared to footy, the money in photography is a pittance. And the good thing about having a passion for photography is that's an any time, any place thing - there's room in your life for a career *and* a photography addiction.

He has rocks in his head if he throws away his footy career for the camera. Even if he does want to make a career out of it, he would surely prefer to earn several hundred thousand a year for a few more years to get himself further ahead financially first.

So when he posted a photo training in the gym on a Saturday night recently was he looking to impress the fans and show he was serious about getting back to playing or looking for more exposure for his photography skills?

Some measure of Mitch's commitment to his footy, and more generally the Club, will be whether or not he shows up tonight.

My money says he won't bother, preferring to post photos taken around his house (his latest subject) on Twitter.

Six weeks to recover from a 'hammy twinge' - you're kidding aren't ya?

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
