Who really has what Clarko wants?

[Sticksphat]

Clarko famously said he wanted players that could stand up in finals. Who of our current list could do that? Not necessarily dominate but stand up under the pressure? Who has the ticker? I went through the list and first reaction is....it's grim.

Very few as he’s probably discovering.

 

[Sticksphat]

Yes are Hugh G, Sheez, Warhead, LDU (?), Simpkin (?), Logue, Larkey, Cutis, Comben, Goater, Xerri, K Dawson.

I could make a case for Scott, Tommy P, Bergs, WiPhi, Arch, Ford & Zurhaar, but they are all flakey in one way or another.

The rest, excluding first years, are either under developed or squibs.

 

[Slamming Sam]

Harry Sheezel, George Wardlaw, Colby McKercher and Zane Duursma, if I was to hazard a guess. Add in Nick Larkey

[Engimal v3]

Dare I say it...

Me?

 

[Freomaniac]

Yes are Hugh G, Sheez, Warhead, LDU (?), Simpkin (?), Logue, Larkey, Cutis, Comben, Goater, Xerri, K Dawson.

I could make a case for Scott, Tommy P, Bergs, WiPhi, Arch, Ford & Zurhaar, but they are all flakey in one way or another.

The rest, excluding first years, are either under developed or squibs.

The thing is....

Larkey will be 28-31 years old when North Melbourne win finals again.

Sheezel, Tom Powell and any young mids aged 23 or under will be in that prime 26-29 year old bracket when North Wins finals.

Yes are Hugh G, Sheez, Warhead, LDU (?), Simpkin (?), Logue, Larkey, Cutis, Comben, Goater, Xerri, K Dawson.

The rest, excluding first years, are either under developed or squibs.

Certainties: Sheezel, Wardlaw, Comben, Dawson, Ford, Goater, Greenwood, Xerri, Logue.

That is a very small portion of our best 22. Less than half. We need that number to be 30/40 players.

 

[Muscles Thommo]

I think a number of players have incriminating photos... when Clarko gets those back maybe he will drop those, but until he gets those photos in his little hands they stay in the team

 

[Horizons_00]

He's going to find it difficult to identify who can stand up in finals when he isn't even worried about winning
