Jeeezzzzz that would be awkward, wouldnât it? Clarke going on about how rapt he is to be recruited to the same team as his best mate⌠Andy pleased and blushes, honouredâŚClarke: ahmâŚI meant Begs, mateâŚ
I always wondered why every guy named Clark or Clarke seems to have the nickname âNobbyâ of course it is all explained in Wikipedia.
Apparently in London those with the profession of Clerk were well educated toffs who wore ânobby hatsâ

Oh. I always thought it was for a similar but different reason. that being, that people who got jobs as Clerks as opposed to the more normal manual labour jobs of the time, were referred to Nobs by their mates because they were doing a job of a higher status i.e. mixing with the Noble Men.
I thought it must have been due to a Y-linked phallic trait.

Sure. Pretty much the same thing I guess.

does anyone remember the last time you had something positive to add to the conversation?
They certainly would if they are not as mentally deficient and forgetful as you appear from this stupid comment.
You are so blessed @âpremature rookie elevationâ remature rookie elevation" to have Lord Albert, football royalty and knower of all things, personally reply to you like this! You should buy a lottery ticket immediately.

Who?
Having gone for McGrath whose massive strength is outside run, ( lets be honest ) this was the guy that we needed for the coal face. He is more in the Petracca , Cripps, Viney, Jones, Oliver, Dangerfield height range . He is in pretty good good shape but might have to put on about 5 kgs of muscle as an inside mid at AFL level, but thats a given, since he is only 18. He will cover the fact that last year Melbourne took Clayton Oliver at pick 4 and we took the shorter Parish at 5 ( probably as a consequence) .
He may be the surprise package of the draft for us. Go Bombers !

North Melbourne. Theyâre a team in the Australian Football League.

Begley is the one who could be a Petracca size mid, who rests forward and kicks goals.
Thatâs the âupsideâ hope I guess.
never understood the theory that a players kicking technique will improve at AFL level.
Obviously the reason he was a late pick. Sounds like he is the type who will leave no stone unturned in getting the best out of himself though.

At the very least I suppose he can be coached to handball more frequently. I see heâs been compared to Daniel Cross who had similar issues and was a high handballer for that reason.

Neither. If the best two kicks in our team are truly McKenna and Tippa it speaks a lot of how rubbish the âAFL systemâ is at honing skills.
While his kicking style doesnât look great, that is not the problem, I donât think, nor the reason his efficiency stat is low.
The clips I have watched since we drafted him show him scrambling a quick kick when under pressure, or in traffic. The classier TAC cup kids will attempt to either weave their way out (McC), run out (McG), or handball to advantage. Clarke looks to be someone who just throws it on the boot. Not really a great trait in modern football, although you could say it something Myers does a fair bit as well. However, Myers can scramble a quick kick further and better than most, so he gets away with it to some extent.
