All about Mitch Clark

It would be truly difficult for Mitch, considering how much he loves his football and also the club. Not being able to play would be depressing and I echo all of our statements in wishing Mitch the best and hoping that he can take all the time he needs to get back to where he wants to be

 

I received an email today suggesting that he may not play again and it was from a usually very reliable source, I hope it's wrong.

BTW another part of the rumour was he had altered his running style to accommodate the foot injury and that had lead to soft tissue injuries.

I posted this back in January and it seems as if it was pretty close to the mark.

its a damn shame. I di feel for his predicament.

We all do bb, it would be really good to have him out on the park with Hogan and maybe Dawes; pipe dreams I guess.

Supposedly he's recently done a calf. I don't see how that reflects your earlier comments.

The word " supposedly" might cover that Hannibal

Yes, that's why i included it.

Obviously.

didn't realise photography could be so bad for soft tissue injuries.....oh well

more obvious id suggest was a leaning towards casting aspersions towards the veracity of Robbie F's post.

I really dont believe a lot of what FDs offer as to reasons for injuries etc. Just saying ;)

It's exactly what the 2nd part of the comments are saying.

He is doing soft tissue injuries because of a change in running style due to the previous foot injury. It may or may not be true but does have a basis in logic.

I was told a Hammy last night, but whether it is a calf or Hammy, it's still a soft tissue injury.

Good luck Mitch we will all be here when u r right to go.

The problem I have with your post and your revival of this thread is you've made 2 seperate rumours

1. He may never play again

2. He's suffering soft tissue injuries due to a chance of running style

The second is what the club has pretty much told us and would mean he's back at some stage be it 4 weeks, 14 weeks or next year

The first is a whole different proposition. That you are right on point 2 is irrelevant to point 1.

A bloke wouldnt step aside ( take a break ) without much gravity weighing upon his position. Hes at crossroads :(

He had to alter his running style because of the foot injury and that's causing the soft tissue problems; that clearer? If his altered running style continually causes soft tissue problems and they can't sort it out he may be unable to continue. At the moment they don't seem to have an answer.

Can't see what it is you can't understand.

Where has it been mentioned that his running style has changed ?

I'm not saying it hasn't, just that I don't recall hearing it from the club.

That was from an email I received from, as I said, "a usually reliable source". The information was supposed to have come from someone who would know, I can't say any more.

Once again, I also said I hope it's not correct, but the way things have panned out it seems plausible.


I think it speaks volumes for his leadership within the club that, even after all the injuries and the amount of football he has missed, that he is still voted in by the players and coaches to be a part of the leadership group.

Got everything crossed he can get over the bumps in the road and once again become a key cog in our push to be a better club on the field.

 

If AFL was game of Thrones Mitch would be Theon Greyjoy.

someone might like to link this thread to him on twitter.
i know for a fact (as i personally know some players from the past and present) that the players are encouraged not to look at this website or other fan forums but this is full of honest praise for the big guy and hopefully lets him know that we are all still behind him!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
