Please use him to tag shuey
Only 3 games and he looks nice and settled. If he can play the rest of 2019 in the seniors heāll be set for a big 2020 onwards.

Smart footballer Clarke. You look at his body positioning in the contest, makes use of his core strength, clears a path when heās without the footyā¦ doesnāt try any millionaire kicks or hand passesā¦ plays within his capabilityā¦ hence the 83% effective

Heās completely changed our midfield - the defensive midfielder weāve been crying out for years for. I feel they have finally got the balance right in there.

Like 75% of our team then. We honestly have a fair few butchers in the 22 at the momentā¦
Yeah, few hit or miss.
I think Clarke is actually good as he makes a conscious effort to handball more often than kick, plays within his limits.
Agree. He has adopted the Dirty Harry Principle and is better for itā¦
That ball drop is amazing. How a serious player still kicks like that at 15, let alone a few years into an AFL career beggers belief.
But heās a great handball, tackles hard, goes in hard and limits a key man whilst linking up well. Surely stays in for the rest of the year.
That two weeks in a row he has had a breakaway to kick into F50, long entry to the advantage of one of our players for a goal!

Yet apparently his kicking is extremely limited.
Im not suggesting he is a good kick but heās no less effective than players like Heppell, Hurley or Hooker.

his kicking only has to be better than Myersā though
Is it just me, but every time Whoosha is asked a question about Clarke and how good heās going, he plays it down. I donāt think he really likes what Clarke brings to the team.

After refusing to put any defensive work into the oppositions best mids for the last 3 years it may grind his gears to see it actually working.

He rarely talks about individuals and when asked about them doesnāt really say much and steers it to team work etc. I think you are reading too much into that.

Iām upgrading him from being a ābad kick of the footballā to being an āunfashionable kick of the footyā
Heāll end up a similar type to Seb Ross
hurleys is attrocious too, just had some very good timing early on the fool a lot of people into thinking hes an elite kick.
Hurleyās wrists are farked

Yeah not too sure about that.
Hurley was a beautiful kick off both sides early in his career. Talking, absolute weapon with either foot.
Sure heās not as good as he once was but that is no doubt more to do with his back and wrist injuries than anything.
The fact he can still do what he does, and to the level he does it is ā ā ā ā ā ā ā amazing.
