Young's return a step closer (http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/youngs-return-a-step-closer-20100402-rjwx.html) The Age April 3, 2010

Young, who hasn't played an AFL match since round five last year, played three quarters for Box Hill Hawks against the Werribee Tigers in which he snared 16 disposals, two marks, two clearances and a goal.

Wow! Not bad Clint. No need to show off though. And I believe the Werribbee Tigers are no slouches at trying out AFL senior players … if you get my drift.

But he appeared to be in full flight in his second game back from what has been described as a solid pre-season.

Okay, Brent, cease letting out Clarko’s secrets.

Hawks development coach and Box Hill coach Brendon Bolton said the 24-year-old was likely to play a full match in Box Hill's VFL season opener against Werribee next Saturday and is expected to make his return the following week.

Pay attention to the Box Hill Hawks forum next Saturday, guys and gals, boys and girls.

"I think it's just about getting some game time into him. There's no doubt he's a quality player, he can play at the level whenever required but when you bring them in, you want them really match fit and he's only had a couple of games.

Quality needs to be taken care of. We can appreciate the hard work Clinton has put in to get back from triple whammy debilitating injuries

''He's building up to be able to play AFL again so I wouldn't have thought that he comes in straight away but it won't be far off."

So we Hawks are gong to have pre-match nerves for Clint when the time comes.
