That “getting around the boys” could not have been more fake if they tried. Probably had to go over the top due to the Mutch reaction after the goal

Or they’re genuinely happy cause a certain coach is gone…

I’d say Myers is gone. He’s been cut up by good players outside the contest.
McKenna has spent time in the midfield the last two weeks.

I don’t think he’s got the size to be a wrecking ball. Not yet, anyway. Deserves his run.
When it was announced that Mutch was to debut, the players had to get around Mark Neeld, who then had responsibility to determine if said getting around should be forwarded onto Kobe.

Do you believe in the tooth fairy too?
If anyone can’t tell that was setup, I feel for you
Be as cynical as you like, but I think they’re genuinely happy for their teammates - as they should be.

They would be. No doubt. That probably went on earlier, it’s just easy to tell THAT moment was setup. That’s all.

I think myers really sums up where the club is, and is not.
In reality he’s a committed hard body, who had a few good years when the game suited his strengths a few years back, but doesn’t at all suit the way the game’s headed since; and always had battles getting on the park.
In the club’s eyes, he’s a genuine midfield winner, backbone player and leader, to the extent that dropping him would be a really, really big statement.
Nothing against the dude himself, but geez.

The fact it’s 2018 and we’re looking at him as our best clearance player shows how utterly fkd the midfield is with balance

Clarke reminds me of Jason Johnson. Not for any reason, just does. Anywho.

From yours truly back in 2016
Bio: Clarke is a contested ball magnet, he works hard all around the ground and his stoppage work is umangst the best in this draft.
Clarke is a smart player he works hard but he also works to smart spots on the ground he just knows where the footy will be both in the contest and in general play. He doesn’t over exert himself he tends to stay in the middle of the ground.
His hands in close are exceptional and can be hard to stop with his big body and his first few steps are quicker than you would think. He makes great decisions in close and you can count on his possession putting teammates in a better spot.
Kicking is his main worry but has gotten better as the year has gone on. Id say his technique in general is fine he just needs to keep working at it. I really like Clarke and i think he would be a bargain late in the 2nd round.
