What the hell has he been doing for the last month and a half?
“I want to be known as a Melbourne player and not the guy who came across from Brissy (Brisbane). I’ve really loved the supporters here - they’ve got a lot of passion for the footy club and it’s great to see,” he said.
“They’ve done a great job this year of sticking with us through a really tough season. I really appreciate their support and I’ve never really felt that support from supporters before, so it’s been great.
“Hopefully, they can stick with us for many more years, and we can give them some reward for doing so.”
KEY FORWARD Mitch Clark is optimistic he will start running in mid to late November, after suffering a serious foot injury which sidelined him for the second half of the 2012 season.
Clark, who topped Melbourne’s goalkicking with 29 goals this year from 11 matches in a fine first season, said he would spend much of September and October “hanging around the footy club” to ensure he had the best chance of success for the 2013 season.
“My main focus is getting this foot right, and making sure I get most of the pre-season in,” he told melbournefc.com.au.
MELBOURNE'S Mitch Clark will undergo surgery on Wednesday to remove the staples from his injured foot as he continues to recover from a Lisfranc injury suffered midway through 2012.
The surgery is a scheduled part of Clark's rehabilitation process and another positive indication that he remains on course for an early season return...
It’s been great to see Mitch up and about running. It gives the group a real lift to see him back out on the paddock. We’re really looking forward to seeing him join in our fooball sessions after Christmas and move into the next phase of training and then into games.
KEY FORWARD Mitch Clark says he has set his sights on making his anticipated return for Melbourne’s season opener against Port Adelaide at the MCG on Sunday, March 31.
“I’ve spent a couple of weeks in a moon boot, but the recovery has been a lot quicker than the last bout of surgery, which is pleasing.
“I’m walking around now and starting to build up in the gym, and then soon I’ll be running again.”
MELBOURNE forward Mitch Clark has been urged not to rush back from a foot injury just to make the start of the AFL season.
"For Mitch it's about not being too eager to play round one and just dealing with his rehab properly," Dawes said.
"I keep saying to him `Don't get yourself up for round one just because it's round one, just make sure you do everything right.'
*sobs quietly*MITCH Clark is unlikely to take on former team the Brisbane Lions this weekend after spraining his right foot against Greater Western Sydney on Sunday.
The key forward put his foot on ice as he sat out the Demons' record-breaking last quarter at the MCG.
Initially there were some fears Clark may have aggravated the Lisfranc injury that forced him to miss the final nine games of 2012.
However, Melbourne coach Mark Neeld said post-match the prognosis was a foot sprain, with Clark to be sent for precautionary scans.
Those scans showed a sprain of the right mid-foot and the Demons have virtually ruled him out of Sunday's game at the Gabba.
Yo Dawg, I heard you like Mitch Clark, so we took a photo of Mitch Clark taking a photo of Mitch Clark so you can see two photos of Mitch Clark.
Was playing very well in that game, too.Didn't even remember he played 12 games thought he played 5 then blew his foot out

Remember he was dominating Queens Birthday one year and singlehandedly kept us in the game. Then Cale Morton made the worst kick ever and ended the game before half time.
