    Mitch Clark injury

    in Melbourne Demons

    Tim Watson made that point on the TV coverage - he times his leap so well, that he takes the ball right at its peak. Impossible to deal with given his height.

    On another note, I worry that what makes him such a fantastic player is what eventually will be his downfall. Because he smashes packs and breaks heads a bit, I kind of get the feeling he might be the type who is done by the time he is 27 or 28, just because he is so physical and gets knocked around so much. I really hope that's not the case, because he has totally bought in, and he is in for the long haul with us.

    He smashes packs, alright. One of Jonathan Brown's major facial injuries the other year was from Mitch's elbow. If anyone can find the vision, it looks horrific.

    Tom McDonald's kicking is a liability. Guy competes his butt off, but he butchers simple kicks far too frequently

    Yeah, at this stage. But he's only 19 or so, and this will get better. Loving his push 'n shove attitude aggresive with Patton.

    Would we welcome Brett Ratten back?

    IF... The Blues finish outside the 8, is there a chance he might get the flick? Club going backwards and all of that. They have a history of cutting what they perceive as their losses.

    KB on SEN this morning has them finishing 9 or 10, for what his opinion is worth. Not the easiest run home to the finals.

    Should we have a go at getting him back as midfield coach (and p!ss off Brian Royal) if he's available?

    I liked very much what he did for us previously.

    Comments?

    Trade our first two picks for Pick 1?

    Melbourne - Picks 3, 4, 12, & 22 (Viney)

    GWS get Morton for Round 4 Pick and GC get Bate for Round 4 Pick in deals not too bid for Viney.

    I think both of these guys will want out. Especially Bate!!!

    They'd play hard ball and want more, like Jones or Tappy.

    Over the last 4 yrs, Morts and Bate have struggled to even get picked. Who'd want them? Bulldogs offer of pick 237 for Bate last yr indicates a generous offer, IMHO.

    GWS and GC are not a rubbish bin for other teams to tip in their discards, especially when they hold the upper hand.

    Just how good will Nic Naitanui become?

    If you thought "$cully to GWS" was a feisty rumpus, imagine the uproar caused by the "Nikanui back to Perth" saga.

    Just what I was thinking TT. It's all hypothetical, but given our poor seasons, I think he would've gone close to leaving. The wealthy clubs always seem to 'find' space in their salary cap for big name players.

    Has a red hot go every week. Getting paid a fraction of what Moloney, Silvia and Davey are. Rookie listed and best 1st year player by a mile. Showing heaps of heart.

    Liability? Only in terms of thoroughly embarrassing many of our more experienced senior players.

    I have to agree. But for God's sake can we drop Moloney before we drop Sylvia. At least Sylvia has had an interrupted pre-season. Moloney's got no excuse for his poor performances and apparently lacklustre efforts.

    They will both be nervous come trade time at seasons end...
