He has impressed time and again and already stamped himself into our team.

Props to Dylan and I reckon Pops Kelly gets a mention here since he coaches the 1-4 year players.

 

[quotemokc]

One of the ugliest yet most effective kicker of the ball I have seen

 

[Zach Package]

Actually seemed to run his own race during the game.
If anything, in hindsight we should have sent him to Touk Miller

Released it a little bit in the second half which coincided with him going out of the game a little.

I actually think he functions best when he’s using someone else as a point of reference, they take him straight to the ball.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Hard.

 

[doug85]

I reckon Clarke is a good equivalent to Brett Kirk.
- both taggers that served long apprenticeships
- ugly kicking style with little penetration or length (cue dick jokes)
- both tough as teak

Stands up in tackles, distributes by hand, tackles, understands his limitations by foot. Playing his role very nicely.

 

[eth-dog]

Boak his next challenge. Hope he destroys him.

For my ultimate footy teams sake, i hope he tags Rockliff.

Equal 3rd In the AFL for average tackles

How's he tracking for good tackles?

Ask Cripps, Cunnington, ect

 

[The Donners]

He’s a real competitor and a team first player. I love him already.

Competition for midfield spots will be tough next year when Smith is fit.

 

[ILikeCheese]

Is the midfield pretty much complete now? Does he fill the bigger body/extractor role as well as the hard tag when required?
Seems midfield spots are tight as it is with Smith to come back.
If there was ever a trade period to bring in Brodie or Sier this would be the one given they're out of contract and both in and out of the sides. Would either of them bring anything extra to the team that Clarke can't already provide?

Watching how strong he is I honestly don't think we do need anyone else for that role. Obviously develop more down the track but for now I don't think we need to go out chasing other players.

 

[Vindicater]

Have we signed him up yet?

 

[ILikeCheese]

Have we signed him up yet?

I thought I read somewhere that him and Brown we’re close to new contract extensions but nothing official.

 

[astrowizzle]

Any relation of the nasty Clarke brothers. They too left a wake of Carnage as the went through

How many were on Cunnington before he got the ball?

 

[Beerfish]

How many were on Cunnington before he got the ball?

I have it on good authority that it was all of the tackles

Report him to the snakebakersville police department.

Decoy!

 

[Don Won]

Kicking it the wrong way is a whole new low

 

[Old Campaigner]

When I hoped he'd learn some new tricks following the best mids in the comp around I wasn't expecting him to learn that from Cunnington

 

[The Camel]

Kicking it the wrong way is a whole new low

Hardly going to hang him for that.

I love him. Hard. Determined. Busts a gut.

So he made a mistake... its been a pretty faultless start to his career. You could tell from his response he was angry at himself. He has pride in his performance... which is more than I can say for Zaharakis and co.

Move on.

Danger did that earlier in the year as well so he's in good company.
