AFL Player #36: Angus Clarke - Wins the 2km time trial on debut!

[yodellinhank]

Dyson Heppell replacement.

The taller halfback who helps out in the air, and uses the ball well.

Glad they've replaced Heppell with someone who has qualities he lacked

 

[FlyingV]

Like the look of him. Like that he’s got good skills, and is a good runner so he can really put time into the gym without having to worry about other deficiencies. Confident.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Looks like an outstanding pickup, good skills and the dedication to get the best out of them.

The lazy attitude to captaincy around here seems to be best player = next captain but a guy like Clarke who had to work hard on and off the field to get to where he is sets a fantastic example for others to follow and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in the leadership group some years down the track if he makes it as an AFL player

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Won the time trial today. By a lot.

Embarrassed a lot of senior players.

Prepare to get your Anus Clarke'd


I dunno whatever

Good fodder for the coaches

Drop off a dump truck of redgum rounds and a bunch of rusty old axes, and have at it until they're as fit as Gus

Impressively, I’m pretty sure whilst most of the other front runners wore proper carbon plated racers, the young bloke was in non plated shoes.

This is impressive but didn't Nik Cox also win it in his first year?

Easier to run when you weigh 50kgs soaking wet.

It’s pretty common for draftees to win unless you’ve got an elite elite runner on the list like a Scully or Blicavs (though he’s too heavy these days).

Good sign that McGrath is up there, can’t recall if he has been in prior years?

Draftees winning it is pretty straightforward biophysics, but he had an impressive lead even over the other draftees.

Is the draft combine a 2km or 3km?

2km he got 1 second less than his combine time actually

Good signs

McGrath is usually in the 5-10 range… or at least has been last couple of years

coasting already... Delist.

 

[tha Freak]

Rookie mistake coming first! Where does he go from here? Has to be up the front for rest of the preseason or be labelled as slacking off. Better to come mid table and show improvement as pre season progresses.
Or maybe that’s why I never made AFL!

Sounds like they are calling him junior already, mason jnr I assume

Reckon you might’ve cracked the case there Howie

 

[Foxx]

I love our draft profile is the most professional and dedicated draftees instead of the best available. In this case we may have got both.

Yep, I know who I would rather out of Angus Clarke vs Jordan Houlahan, Alex Morgan & Kyle Reimers

Apparently Red dog has taken him under his wing and they’re currently living together.

Love the human emotion and support for each other.
I'm glad they don't read social media.

Someone else called him "pup"

I like that

Yep, such a shame Jake S won't be there to mentor him on diet and nutrition
