Player Watch Pick #29 (2012) - Tom Clurey

[powermacs]

It's in my head. You don't want to go there.

It was on my wall as a kid because it had #Darren Smith and Scott Hodges in it.

You are spot on . Brisbane has had a preference for Vic Country kids for some time . Being in the TAC the country kids are forced to travel large distances to train and often not with the comfort of their mothers breast . Likewise if they play state footy they are forced to travel to Melbourne .
The city kids in comparison are often taken by mummy , who sits on the boundary line trying to turn on coaches , dressed like a two dollar hooker , and then once princess has finished training he instantly returns to the comfort of mummies breast .
Naturally when they are forced to get to training by themselves and walk more than 5 mtrs , to and from the change rooms without mummy holding their hand they are going to get scared and want mummy .
You've done well in this years draft , your first two selections have been my favoured first and second rounders and from a long way out .

Thanks for your input RP. Hopefully our picks live up to the hype you've created for them.
p.s. I'm guessing you dont have a hell of a lot of respect for metro kids

Surely that can't be for real? It's like something you would see when looking in the warped mirror at John Martins Magic Cave

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Lets hope its not for real

 

[Wargreymon90]

Why?

 

[Jonts]

I'd perfer huge thighs over small ones in a footy player every day!

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Lets hope its not for real

Because you dont value core strength and the ability to stand up and power through tackles ?

Must be part of his extreme endurance capabilities, a big thigh / big arsed warrior.

What we have been screaming out for.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I am looking forward to Chaplin pretending he misjudged the flight of the ball to make sure he doesn't get body contact from Clurey already.

That's the first thing I thoughht, remember going in the change rooms as a kid and thinking that guys thighs are bigger than me.

That is impressive for a guy with such a good 3km time trial and beep test.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Is this a pic of our mate Tom?

To paraphrase Christopher Walken in A View to a Kill... ha ha, you amoose me Mr Clurey.

 

[Portia]

He looks like he's on his way to climb a beanstalk

 

[bomberclifford]

Pretty solid young bloke. Didn't he come second in our 3km time trial?

 

[b0ydman]

Looks good
all the best for him
good country kid

Please tell me is a left footer?


Stew deeeeeeeewwwww

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Please tell me is a left footer?


Stew deeeeeeeewwwww

He is ambidextrous, but a right footer by nature. have a look at the herald sun's 'pick me" video where he talks about his brother getting stuck into him for not kicking on his left when he was 9 or 10 so now he kicks half his kicks on his left foot.

Tom Clurey is the player of the week.

Thought he did a great job wiping Butchers (who was at FB) bottom early before Butcher then moved to CHB and did a decent job.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Any contract word? Would like him locked in for another couple of years

 

[Power Raid]

Any contract word? Would like him locked in for another couple of years

clurey, broadbent and redden all need to be signed on

shaw is listed as contracted for next year but thought he to was out of contract at seasons end

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I think Clurey is on a 3 year contract same as Shaw.

 

[Forzaport]

I think Clurey is on a 3 year contract same as Shaw.

Yeah, I get that feeling as well.

 

[faquito]

I think Clurey is on a 3 year contract same as Shaw.

I hope that's true Foot!

 

[HaroldOliver]

I hope that's true Foot!

Me too - loved what I've seen of Cluzza this year.
