That was just a nuffy text asking Sam Edmund if he’s heard that. Why Gerard takes those I’m not sure maybe he’s a bit short on content but that’s like taking rumours from this place and putting them on the radio. Staggering stuff.
What sort of numbers were Owens and Windhager getting at Sandy before they were picked ? Not so sure they went past him just given more of a go
I remember in the past at our club a big deal was made about forwards who could work together and not get in each other's way.
Funny - since you've got time, can you do ones for our supposedly "elite" kicks. You could try Brad Hill or NWM - you'll find heaps of similar examples.
He has an unfortunate knack of getting a crappy injury whenever a position opens up in the team and he has to gain match fitness again. I feel for the bloke...he just seems illl fated. The coaches seem a little adverse to playing him out if position too. Has he ever come in as a HFF or anything?
Windhager dominated a game with 33 disposals and 2 goals before his first inclusion.
A pity Clark got those injuries, but I don't see him as a backline player or a mid and would rather he goes into the forward half at the expense of Higgins or Butler, neither of whom do enough over four quarters.
It wasn’t just Windhager and Owens that were playing better than Bytel because Byrnes was outperforming him by a mile as well. He was basically fourth in line for most of the year.
I think he’s worth another preseason before entertaining a trade. We’ve seen his upside and there’s no way he should have peaked already. A few players had clearly poor years and it coincides with missing a lot of footy. Zac Jones included, Billings. Etc.
I agree
And all those guys had the ability to play another position.
I wouldn't be opposed to him leaving at all if we got a good price but I find it weird that he wants to leave - what does he want that is not getting at St Kilda?
Sam Edmund didn't say Clark was moving. Someone messaged SEN on Tuesday asking if he had heard that rumour and Edmund said he chased all day and couldn't find anything that backed that comment up.
Getting away from the South eastern suburbs and his social circles outside of football would be the best thing for him.
Yeah...but just for hypothetical fun; just say a club see's the potential, and the fact that Clark hasn't yet reached his ceiling, and offers something that helps us nab a skilful young midfielder with both speed and endurance. Would you go for it? Clark would have some value...despite his horrendous injury run. We wouldn't get pick 8 back obviously, but we might get an early 2nd rounder that could be manipulated with other picks to move up the order, or if the gods smile at us...and the other club is clinically stupid, a late first. I'm not a gambler, but that is almost too good to refuse.
Interesting comment.
Season can be summed up by “wins paper
There probably only 3-4 players on our list who would be off limits even if another club wanted to overpay for them. So, hypothetically, if a club wanted to give us good for Clark, you would consider it.
