how would we know? WC have never given Clark an extended run in the middle, where he shon for SubiPerhaps because he performs far better than the three on the bench.

I watched him closely a few time whe I have had the chance to see live games, top bloke always has his head over the ball and puts in 100%. Actually a decent onfield leader as well with some smarts. But, he is slow and lacks the instinctive awareness required at AFL level. We have a few in that boat to varying degrees. It is an observation of fact not a critisism.how would we know?

I have to disagree, if capability does not change with the location of the ground, then why have some players who have moved from forward to back and vice versa had much greater output as a result? I'd consider Clark slow too, but he's an inside mid, how many inside mids of the comp are actually quick? I'd say there's more in the slow category, and that doesn't mean they aren't effective, just look at Stewart Dew, Priddis, Cripps, Selwood et al.I watched him closely a few time whe I have had the chance to see live games, top bloke always has his head over the ball and puts in 100%.

The capability does not change with location on the ground, but is harder to hide in the center square with oposition teams spreading like the Cats did against us..
you cant really expect him to be lightning quick at 195 cmI watched him closely a few time whe I have had the chance to see live games, top bloke always has his head over the ball and puts in 100%.

From what I've seen, Clark has the instincts (and physicality) required in tight situations, unfortunately he hasn't been played in a role/position where he gets to execute this frequently enough, so I wouldn't write him off until he's had ample opportunity to prove himself in an inside role. Imagine if we played Priddis on the wing and half-forward for his first 20 games, would he have even stayed on our list?
