"MELBOURNE key forward Mitch Clark expects to be back training with the main group next week but has not set a date when he will return from his foot injury." Patience the key for returning Demon Clark.

Not my bubble you're bursting DC... I was simply paraphrasing Robin Williams.

One flaw in your statement... no-one who was really there can remember the '60's... ever!

hey... let's not overlook the fact that in your prediction you stated that he will "thrive under Neeld..."... so, are you crediting Neeld with his rise to the captaincy? ;-)

He's tiny! That yellow line actually marks the outer perimeter of a bicycle lane.

Wasn't that Hudie Leadbetter (aka Lead Belly)?

Sad the hear, but he will live forever through his legacy... he and Woody Guthrie were two of the best things to come out of the USA in any generation.

Australia Day was over almost twenty two and a half hours ago; feel free to make it go away any time you like.

The OP posted just above (Household Demon); but apart from that DC, you know we all love the sound of our own keyboards :-)

You are yet to provide us with the source of your merge rumour...zero credibility, so I doubt you have any interest in the success of the club other than your interest in trolling.

Thanks for sharing Al.

With all due respect, I assume you read C&B's comment that was being responded to? I thought from that it was patently obvious the reference was a suggestion to C&B that he educate himself with regards to that event and the wider reaching implications. And one other thing, the way people are reacting here almost suggests that Goodes nominated himself, hence so many of the insults being slung his way... maybe common sense would be better used than education.

I think he's a little put out that yourself and HH are getting all of the cudos for being the worst posters on the site...and I reckon he may have just succeeded.

Yeah, I'm sure that was something he gave a lot of consideration to at the time... never mind the fact that it brought a much larger issue into focus.

While I think Goodes is fine as an AOTY, I just don't see why we have to have these awards in the first place.... what is the point of Australian of the Year, Father of the Year etc etc... totally meaningless in my opinion.

There was movement at the station ... Stephen Dank has 11 days to hand over documents about his supplement program to two former Cronulla Sharks players who are considering legal action Relates to his association with Cronulla Sharks, but I would imagine that will set the scene for him in relation to Essendon as well.

Isn't that a reworking of the description applied to the former Environment Minister Ros Kelly... "a pit bull with lipstick"? And then more recently the same description was used on Sarah Palin.

But if his foot was really stuffed, I would be very surprised to see him coming out himself and categorically stating that it was fine; I think he would keep a low profile and let the club deal with the deflection work.

Could be an upper case "i" followed by a lower case L and Y.. ergo, "I love you, Chook".

Correction, "rabid demonland poster's mouth".

Just tweeted by the MFC: "Key defender Colin Garland is set to miss four to six weeks after undergoing surgery on his right ankle" More here: Garland suffers pre-season setback

Hmmm, would love to know where the equal opportunity exists in women playing lingerie football... unless of course you believe that the AFL should have the men running around in their jocks only?

I like your report GiG, but in all fairness to McQueen, you did post it as a definitive statement (no "thinks"): "Spoke to a current player today , he said Mitchie will start at Casey."

I'd be more concerned about a "costume malfunction" when he is doing a meet and greet at one of the beach side suburbs in the old budgie smugglers.

I would hardly think they are ordering the players not to read this site... more likely they recommend that they don't read it because it might not always be flattering. The players would know what to expect based on what they get on Twitter, Facebook etc.
