All about Mitch Clark


All the Jacks

Recommended Posts

I know we are excitable but can we wait until the real stuff starts before we panic. That's how I do it, that's how my dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked well so far.

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 received an email today from a usually reliable source saying that one should never trust emails from usually reliable sources.

Has anyone, particularly those panicking about his foot, offered an reason why MC would lie in his twitter message? My mind is not devious enough to think of a reasonable one.

So we have emails from "reliable sources" that he is stuffed, first hand observations by posters that he is running freely, and from the horse's mouth (on social media) that all is progressing well.

I guess someonething will be proven right, eventually.

the pudding.

the pudding will get it right, one way or dee udder.

Not at all. It was just a typically wild, black and white hogans_heroes comment, which was that 'Mitch knows his foot better than anyone else'. He does, but you make exactly the right point - his Twitter feed is no more valid than someone's reported email, or my thoughts on the matter at all.

As I keep saying, I hope to god he gets right, but from all the evidence before me, he isn't. He doesn't even really look like he is progressing that much, beyond gentle running. As soon as he does, I'll be over the moon, but I'm not going to take his word for it that it will happen!

Are you sh*tting me? Mitch Clark saying his foot's fine is no more valid than your thoughts on the matter?

Are you being serious right now? Are you mental? Do you need medical assistance?

edit: [censored] up the quote.

I read all the post but do not often write posts, This is 100 % , I spoke to Nathan Jones and Mitch Clarke at Flinders St outside my office,

My main topic of conversation was the progress of Mitch and his injury.

He said he is ok and has no issues, "I am all good " Time to be happy everyone

Quite frankly im only going to believe what I see.

When Clarke , Dawes for that matter run out and string together games, and playing to their ability then and only then will I be confident. To date they are very expensive recruits.

I want Mitch fit and playing like everyone but ill reserve any euphoria til it happens.

Confucius just been sayin' for a few thousand years that man who listen to what comes from horse's mouth be more content than one who gets his kicks from usually reliable emails.

What's Confucius's opinion on Mitch's knee?

And how well does Confucius know Robbie F?

I asked a player last night about the forward line situation and he joked that Nev Jetta will be our FF the way it's going.

Seriously he than went on to say that Clark is in the best shape for Round 1 out of all of them. He'll be fine, he's apparently a very astute trainer outside of scheduled trainings, and will be tip top.

Good news.

The guy hasn't been in the main group all pre season, Round 1 you think would be unlikely.

He was in the main group (for a lot of stuff) before Christmas. If it really is a hamstring prior to Christmas then you would think he'd be back in the main group in the new few weeks and then able to play some part in the preseason games. We will know soon enough I guess.

Hi all. Just wondering how many of you have been to any training sessions and watched Mitch train, both before and after Christmas?

I have been to heaps of sessions, before his hamstring injury and after it.

I will say again, it was a hamstring injury, not his foot and not his knee!

Having spoken to a few mates who work at the club, when at a training session, they are easing him into it and they are confident he will be ready for the start of the year. He could be doing more but they want to be cautious.

Yes he and Dawes have missed the main drills, but if you went to training and saw the running they are origins, you would not all be so worried.

Yes they are expensive recruits and we want them to play, but to start saying he may retire and be so negative is just over the top.

ATM Dawes running and body are looking magnificent and watching Mitch do his stride throughs yesterday, I would be very surprised if he is not back doing drills next week.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    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. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    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! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    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.
