Yep. If the VFL coach and our coaches gave him a shot in the guts it would help
I have no opinion. I find this concerning.
I thought it was fairly common practice in modern footy to try and round out a young players skill set, make him accountable and adaptable in different positions. He knows how to get the footy. Not sure who he wouldāve displaced last year. Had a very good year in the vfl. And, correct me if Iām wrong, it was his FIRST YEAR
Pfffttā¦ logic.
No place for that here!
I hope Clarke gets a game in the AFL this year and does really well.
Play him!! I donāt care about his kicking he does what most of our mids donāt and goes hard all day.
He can hamdball all day for all i care we need contest to contest hard ā ā ā ā ā .
When all our mids with good disposal do is kick blindly around the body in a general direction towards our goalsā¦
Well youād think Dyl would be able to manage that, wouldnāt you?
Ever since I first saw him play for us in a 2017 preseason gameā¦
ā¦Iāve been ready to delist him.
Not quick, and a weak kick.
Watched Mynott play in the VFL this weekend and Iām already more enthused about him.
Whenās Mutch ready?
This past weekend, Clarke >> Mynott. Wasnāt shy about kicking and was surprisingly cromulent at it.
Mutch is looking to play next week in VFL round 1.
Another great game by Clarke yesterday.
Repeat efforts, tackles, clearances and can run all day. Is really developing well.
Looks like his kicking has improved as well because heās far more confident to use it which will make his game far less predictable.
Itās around stoppages though that heās at his best. Great hands in close and really good decisions. A lot to like about him.
The permanent move into midfield should really see Clarke develop into a more than useful footballer.
I reckon 186cm/85kg might be big-bodied enough. āCause heās a honey badger when heās after that ball in close.
The issue that Clarke and Mutch have, is that there needs to be some injuries to key midfielders if they are going to get their chance.
Theyāre pure midfielders. Both of them will be overlooked for players who can play in defence or Forward. As the coach will be more likely to move Tippa, Fantasia or Begley into the midfield, then replace them Merrett, Long, Laverdeā¦ who will play in the forwardline.
Iām fully on board, debut this man NOW
This past weekend, Clarke >> Mynott. Wasnāt shy about kicking and was surprisingly cromulent at it.
Thatās enough for me, Iām completely lid off.
About the word ācromulentā.
Is it gonna be Clarke v Langford, or can we get the two of them in there?
Blitz will like the āintensityā of Clarke. Thatās all that matters, right?
Seriously, Langford has more tricks outside a pack and is a better forward (though Clarke is a decent mark). On the other hand, Clarke has only just started getting full-time work on ball, having previously been largely HFF, so he has marked scope for improvement.
He does ālook likeā an inside mid, thatās a huge start.
Iāve always liked what little Iāve seen if him, glad to hear the kicking is on the improve.
what a novel idea to actually have pure midfielders play in the midfield.
suppose they could always rest on the HBF lol
I remember a certain Essendon legend who was very very partial to a hand ball and not kickā¦there a bloke running around for th e dawks that loves a handball in his 50 plus disposal gamesā¦
