Meh. I dont believe it was his choice to leave us. We were lucky we got decent compensation.

I wonder if we will ever hear the true story.

We didn't actually get "compensation"! We were just fortunate that our FD retained him on our list until 31 October, ensuring that the only way that he was going to end up at a Club of his choice was through a trade. An astute move by the MFC!

Clark, if fit, is the best full forward in the comp IMO - he is simply an absolute gun.

Lance Franklin goes alright.

Roughead, Hawkins, Walker, Schulz..

Clark kicks two in a row.

"Great story"

Someone pass the bucket.

On the Foxtel news site, Clark was apparently capable of "amassing two goals and nine touches in approximately three quarters of football." The story gets greater and greater.

Not sure if there is a dedicated thread already.

Watched the Bris vs St K game and while there were a lot of basic rusty errors, I've got to say that I like the look of Brisbane. The inclusion of Beams and Christensen will be a big plus. McCartin led well and looks smooth.

Any thoughts on the other matches?

lots of errors in all games I thought

I have to admit after all the injuries so far, I'm scared to watch our match on Thursday. I've got Foxtel and have already set it to record the game, but I don't think I can handle watching it live.

Mitch gave off a couple of very quick handballs which resulted in goals.

I thought he moved well, and seemed to work well with Hawkins....they didn't fly for marks together.

Nauseating.

Meanwhile I enjoyed seeing Frawley concede a goal due to a judgment error, just like he did once or twice week with us.

He didn't seem to do much else, though I didn't see the whole game.

I think he'll struggle to get a game at Hawthorn this season, but perhaps they've got 2016 in mind, when Lake will probably be gone.He might not make the grade.

The first was an absolute gimme

The second was the only decent thing he did for the day I gather

No..He looked like a player who hadn't had played a game for two years but one thing was apparent. He knows how to make space, how to lead up and when to drop back and how to be in the game - he got clear repeatedly - it was his hands that were rusty and let him down - dropped some gimmes and fumbled.

To me, the only thing stopping him being a very good pick up for Geelong is his history of his body letting him down.

On Frawley - injuries aside - he will play every game this year

I agree during play, but between I thought he had a slight limp on several occasions.

I thought he was moving very freely (just not match fit yet)... perhaps yours was a case of "wishful viewing" MD? ;-)

North: absolute flogs and absolute pretenders.

And winners over a pretty much full strength Hawks.

They won? Hmm. Meaningless I suppose. Would be delicious to see Hawthorn fall apart this year when everyone expects a threepeat.

Oh we can only hope. A few injuries would help but apparently they are at full strength even with 10 or more players on the wrong side of 30! How do they do it?

Clark just kicked his third goal with 6 minutes to go in the first quarter!!

Clark looks in amazing touch, if he stays fit he will absolutely kill it this year.......still a dog though.

I am extremely confident he will burn the Cats too, so not too worried.

well, we all knew he had talent but he still needs to stay injury-free and fit

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
