Can't remember where I saw it, But ROB is 1st across a lot of categories for AFL ruckmen in 2020. Contested marking being one and high up in hits to advantage but can't remember position. May have been 1. AA very soon.

Wow so there are 49 players that can really hold their heads in shame.
I always thought ROB was good in the air but he really took that to another level this season. He's a running machine as well who shouldered a pretty heavy ruck burden this year.
Field kicking is quite good when he has time although the technique looks very awkward, likely those hack clearance kick and handball he does.
Always had excellent acrobat and running power, his knock was his marking which he has greatly improved in the SANFL and seems to have improved his ruck tap in the centre bounce as well in the AFL as the season went on, I was very impress with how the managed Gawn and Grundy in consecutive weeks using different ruck strategy, a sign of a very quick learner.
Who would have thought ROB a Gold Jacket winner after his first few games and sprays at goal.
Not to mention I assume M Clarke must have historically been very highly rated on this board? From taking a rookie ruckman Sauce to becoming a top quartile ruckman for a good part of his 8 years here (very unlucky to miss 1-2 AA teams) to another rookie now a likely Gold Jacket winner.
Not to mention winning 2 of 3 flags with AFLW.
Clarkes quality up there with Nobles contribution building a flag quality squad twice (see his last 4 yearst at Lions - brilliant stuff) and am sure both guys have been widely recognised and celebrated on this forum

Yes Matt, we get it, you are a very good ruck coach, but it would have helped if you had taken more marks around the ground when you were playing.
Even in his first few games he showed a lot. People got blinded by his terrible kicking style. His follow up and work ethic were stand outs from debut.
More likely 'straight sets' Noble.
Clarke only coached one of the AFLW flags. Bec Goddard coached the first one.
Both flags align with a fully fit season from Phillips and Randall. If either is missing, we've been bog ordinary.
wait what, He wasn't head coach for our first womens premiership
Yes, as acknowledged by me liking the previous poster who has already pointed this out

Oh no, not another long term deal to one of our top 5 players in his mid-20s who never misses a game to take him past FA.
More poor list management!

Needed to be done, one thing the club doesn't need to worry about given how long they take to develop.

A 4 year deal for someone who has only played 37 games?
And will be 29 at the end of the deal.
This isn’t a champagne and caviar moment people.
Bad deal. Should have gone 2 years, risked Free Agency and kept out options open.
