Thought a quoted news article had him at 177 cm and 67 kg. 77 sounds more likely though
77 would be right, could not possibly be 67kg

So jealous. I love this dude have done since I first saw him play. I reckon he will make an awesome pressure forward. Can't teach that much aggression. Steal at pick 60.

Thats true
it is ******* cold in winter
Don't stop now neng
Ha well in school ranks he was compared to Cyril Rioli, however as he's aged and adapted his game Byron Pickett is definitely the stand out comparison. Have seen him do some freakish things. His desire for the footy is second to none. Will stop at very little to get the footy.
Hope this wets your palate also!
It wet something alright...

Gotta be 77kgs, looks a solid unit already. That mark...good lord!! And drilled the goal. I'm all kinds of excited for this kid. Tough, confident, x-factor.
I think Channel 9 or 7 had a snippet on Clem pre-draft with that mark/goal and another hang that he took plus some other highlights and I was quietly happy on hearing his name called out for the CFC.

He'd be taller than that for sure. I think the 177cm is pretty close to the mark.
Definitely around the 177 mark. We're both basically the same.
He was at boarding school in 2013, so he was 17, had a pretty good diet and wasn't out with mates too much on weekends.
2014 he had graduated and wasn't in the structured environment that a boarding house gives you, so naturally (having been there since he was 12) he had reign over his own life and probably went a bit far with drinking and not caring about his diet too much. Also doesn't help that he was at Perth Demons, which are renowned to have the worst player culture in the WAFL.
From memory, Kevin Sheehan approached the school to ask if they could keep him around for another year at boarding school in some way to keep him on the straight and narrow, but that could be a BS rumor. All I know is that put into a system that is structured will help him drop the puppy fat he might have gained and will ensure he plays his best footy.
