Did he, though? Really?
I’m still annoyed over it. 20 years later.
2013 GF 1 Kick 1 Mark, 4 handballs, 8 HOs
You will be proved wrong
Yet again i would say sir
He is a GUN
too slow!
Anyone can have a bad day in a GF
He’ll be a useful enough backup ruckman for a year or two while Draper becomes good enough. Clarke may only play a handful games if any.
He could be legitimately be best 22 if we want a 2nd ruck who plays forward, He’d be potentially in competition with McKernan. Theoretically.
You too, eh?
You will be proved wrong

He was playing state league, that’s a very loose definition of gun you have.
cough… Humblebrag… cough
He could be useful up forward too…I like the acquisition
Lets see who is right next year
Jackets has put a lot of thought into this
Played in the GF.
5 possessions
No scores
8 hit outs
Oh,right … … Ummm, … so he might have learnt from the experience then, … so that’s goooood, ?? …
( … have to Lose one to Win One concept…)
Seriously though, … was that maybe nerves/stage fright? *hopes
How did he rock in the lead up Finals, …
Lets see who is right next year

Really? I mean I hope so.
But it sure looks like we’ve picked up the only semi decent bloke available.
Nothing against Clarke or Jackets, but it was the move we had to make.
Yes I’m absolutely delighted with this selection
This has probably been discussed at length in the ruck thread (which I have not read) - but - why do we need him exactly? We have Smack as backup (yes not great in the hitouts), and Draper (who everyone agrees is awesome in the hit outs, and is young but getting better).
Sooooo - we need another ruck why?
My take is it’s a planning for worst case scenario.
If TBell went down for the season.
Draper might not be able to handle a full season. Fill in for a couple of games maybe, but not ready for a full season.
Ditto Smack who has a bad injury, has never played a full season and is only average in the ruck.
Yeah I get that, but would Clarke for a full season be any better / more durable than Smack?
Needs more NLM
