I always had faith he could contribute at this level.

Just a very good honest footballer.

i really, really hope all this hype doesn’t lead to a monster let down against the vultures next week.

Obviosly this type of performance can’t be expected every week so early in his career but this kid will leave no stone left unturned.

We will get 100% every week from him and that should at least free up the other players around him to do what they do best.

He’s the workhorse that we needed now that Smith is injured.

It feels a bit like the hype when Damian Peverill started. Happy if he turns out to be Pev 2.0.

To any who doubted Clarke’s impact on our game, look at Cripps’ game today (and no, he wasn’t injured as some wanted to claim).

Going to make it hard for Woosha to drop him now.

The Bears must regret taking McCluggage instead of Clarke.

Pidge > Clarke > The Luggage.

We nailed that draft. All the Luggage Lovers can pack it up.

Nope. Clarke’s effort last week makes it hard for Woosha to drop him. Today merely confirms it.

6 coaches votes? This bloke was robbed. Should have been 10.

Clarke’s performance is one that all supporters get behind.

Think that our coaches are favouring old stagers and not giving the kids a fair go? Complain that it’s about time he got a game.

Think that our coaches have never put a foot wrong? Praise them for perfectly developing Clarke before giving promoting him to the seniors.

Cripps made a bi mistake last week. He setup too far off the ball up. TBell was winning hitouts to advantage, but even if he didn’t win the contest, he prevented Kreuzer from tapping the ball much distance at all. Cripps had been held up just enough by Clarke to prevent him from getting to the contest before Darcy got to the ball. Instead of engaging Cripps before the ball was bounced, Clarke only engaged when Cripps started moving. Cripps had little opportunity to wrestle with Clarke and push him away. Basically Cripps could not even get into the contest most of the time until it was too late. Others had already got the ball. but by that time Clarke was also blocking the path between the ball carrier and Cripps in many cases
Don’t underestimate the ruck performance of TBell and the inside craft of Darcy as a factor in denying the ball to Cripps.

It will be fascinating to see what role they give Clarke and how our midfield goes against the Hawks. Only 6 sleeps to go.

To clarify, are you implying that Dylan was only ‘ready’ to play seniors last week & that we should be lauding the coaches for impeccable selection timing? Legit question.
