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.

You can just smell this is crap.

Especially if you've been to training and have seen his body language, etc.

Your radar is deserting you to repeat it.

Messenger.

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.

Panic stations!

Honestly very funny to see so many jumping at shadows.

He'll be fine.

I look forward to seeing Clark in the side in the first couple of rounds.

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.

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.

What are you talking about?

How did we get onto the subject of Mitch Clark's knee? His foot was his initial problem and he's now getting over a hammy. The knee's never been an issue.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
