All about Mitch Clark

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.

Moon and Bbo are keen to learn this phenomenon,as am I.

No surprise there ...

Clark is finished. Forever.

That's good to know, I'll stop worrying about him now.

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.

Clark is finished. Forever.

Oh no, are you serious....

What a stupid post!


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

What, like James Sellar did last year?


 

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
