Not a lot of Gleeson love going on. He was not the worst in the world

Good share. Thanks Scooter.
He sounds like a legend.

Love in his interview with McGrath and McKay that he gave Redman a clip.

Said he was going to take his spot in the side too. Bit of arrogance, lovely to see.

Did his dad make him chase a ute? Not interested if not. But also more confident red nuts the better, like this selection

More run and carry types with solid kicks the better.

Thanks for posting, kid just became my favorite draftee after that interview, probably got 3rd in that 2k combine wearing a pair of old KT26ā€™s.

Lual had been sent to the forward pocket end of this season. Not sure if that will remain the case for 2025, we have bought in a lot of forward half players.

I honestly donā€™t have much hope for him.

Saad and Archie both played a lot of wing in the VFL, and Iā€™d prefer either them over Jones/Cox being forced on there as we saw this season.

It would be good if he did, his athleticism and pace would be very handy. Unfortunately, i am in your camp currently as i have seen nothing to suggest he can make the jump. Hopefully he will improve substantially this year

I have viewed the very limited information on the net on Clarke but I am most excited by what I have read and viewed. He doesnā€™t seem to have too many weaknesses and excels at most things. Could turn out to be one of the best picks of the draft.

He would definitely be leading candidate to be delisted by the end of the year at this stage but hereā€™s hoping he can show something

Iā€™m sure this article has already been posted.

But geewiz, itā€™s great to see a young bloke who doesnā€™t attend an elite capital city private school, whoā€™s had to bust an absolute gut to get where he is.

These are the sort of people we need at the club

Interview that CJohns posted above is a good listen - ā€˜loves hard workā€™, his own words

Absolutely, throw in a few lads from the country and a few with different cultural backgrounds and all of a sudden EFC has a fresh new look and thereā€™s a buzz around the club again, shows how quick things can change with the right people in charge.

I posted that article in the draft thread a while back and said I wanted him for those exact same reasons and copped it from a few people on here

Personally, Iā€™d like to see us get more rich kids who have been given everything on a platter.

He has a bit of aggro about him, 3.5-4 mins into the vm vs sa game, he shoved someone over the boundary for a free against, so defs redman 2.0
