Delisted #20: Zac Clarke - Delisted - 24/10

[fairbump_playon]

Looking forward to seeing the goat destroy Paddy this week, can’t believe Port are dropping Lycett. Hinkley just self-sabotaging at this point.

If I was Hinkley I would play a musk stick in the ruck this week

 

[BomberTime]

It’s a hard one because there’s no one else. But dear me, this guy is woeful. No ruck craft, even when he has a clear run at it he can’t tap to a mid.

I’d take Bellchambers on one leg.

 

[dnbassador]

Who ever decided to recruit this guy to the club shoukd look at handing in his notice

[Rednblak]

Cannot persist with this guy he is a complete liability. Cant mark, cant kick, cant even ruck. And the worst part is he doesnt look like he gives a damn

He had 18 more hitouts than English aswell

Better to play Mckernan or Hartley in the ruck - EFC lose too much with Clarke in the ruck.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

It's like he's playing with a bar of soap in the rain that's been covered in lube.

 

[DERO]

I love him.

 

[Darealrath]

I thought he was OK - we were losing the hit outs no matter what but he managed to get a few touches and his handballing is actually pretty good.

He gets in pretty good positions to receive too but I must admit I get a bit nervous when he's used like that.

Not sure what people expect from a third string ruck. Most weeks he is managing to be competitive, we aren’t being dominated.

Gives effort, competes - he’ll be totally outclassed against the best but Hartley is the only other option. To me it’s horses for courses...I’d think about running Hartley against a Grundy or Stef Martin but Clarke defiantly better against a Sandi or Gawn.

Smack is not an option - he is required as a forward.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Hope he gets a send off game this Friday.

Spot on

 

[resurrector]

Dude can't even get close to breaking even in the ruck and is a liability in every other facet of the game. We seriously shat the bed not picking up a ruck at the mid season draft.
If we're gonna get belted in hit outs at least have someone who can compete around the ground.
Please woosha, ruck rotation of smack harts n Hooksy

I think Clarke has been serviceable at best for us. He has improved somewhat. I just don’t like some of the decision making he does. His Kicking is far off AFL standard. His Tap work is great but it usually goes to the opposition. These are Zac Clarke’s Stats this season. His ability to miss the simplest shots has also been bad for us. Although if we didn’t have him I think we would be screwed.

Pretty sure I have lost touch with reality / had my expectations dramatically lowered as I feel like Zac was kind of ok last weekend.

short of missing the unmissable in front of goal, he did ok given he was up against a beast in Sandy & a good ruckman in Darcy.

Has done what you need from a 3rd ruck.
We need to reshuffle in 2020

Find a #1 (even if its for 2 years), drop TBC to #2 whilst Draper recovers.

Barely ok. His kicking for goal is just terrible. It’s hard to understand an AFL footballer missing from 15m dead in front.

Or bring in a number 2 for one year and then Draper takes over. Cos you know, Bellchambers is still a good #1.
