It's a nice position, but can't answer that question yet, maybe CHF.
Bear with me here, cos I'm a tad slow, but......if YPO wants Walker at CHF fulltime, then how do we play Clark there?

Have heard a lot about Jansen - really looking forward to seeing him play; still haven't seen any of him (missed our VFL match this year).
He needs to improve a fair bit for AFL but there are some things to like about Jansen.
He is a big bodied kid who moves quite well and at the beginning of last year was 93kgs and 193 cm.
I suspect that he will be bigger at the beginning of the season. He looks to be a versatile type of player who could run through the middle (if only on shorter stints at the moment), play forward or even fill a hole in defense. From what I have seen in the VFL there is a bit to like about him.
There are a few possibilities we'll need to wait to see how they develop, that's where I'm at atm.
True. We may find that one or two of our veterans are cooked by mid to late season too.
I thought Wojac looked OK in the 2011 GF but towards the deep end of the 2012 season I was watching him in the VFL and knew it was the end for Wojac.
Clark has yet to get on the paddock of cause but assuming all goes well for both Mitch and Josh,I favour the 22 year old over the 27 year old as a high CHF to start the season with Clark playing the much less physically demanding role deep forward with Hawkins for company,the trick really is to find the right mix to support the 3 talls that is my preferred option at this point.Serious question - where does Clark then play?

Wouldn't surprise me he's that big, Blake Acres at the Saints now stands 195cm, I don't think he's as solid as Jansen though, but I could be wrong.
The right mix for me is one of Clark and Walker plays VFL.
I don't know the right mix, as I don't know who will be in form, fit or improved, or dropped off considerably over the off season. I also do not know if someone like Nakia Cockatoo will be ready to go from round one or require a season in the magoos.
I will just have to wait and see with anticipation.

You any good at cooking steak on the Barbie Rab? I always seem to be guessing .. is it cooked yet? Trying to just call it right .. like it med.rare myself but I can wear it a bit more or less as long as its good steak. The Mrs on the other hand , red is not colour to be seen inside a good steak... "thats still moo-ing. So with her steak , if doubt leave it on the grill.
Tough trying to pick when something or somebody is cooked I reckon. They might just leave it on the grill , just to be sure , I doubt there will be any doubt about it when they make the call on certain names mid season. The vets we have like Enright will not be pulled early, doubt Bartel or Kelly either .... which vets are you thinking of? Hmac?

Those stats come from the GFC page. Yhey would be out of date now and I expect that he would be bigger.
Rabbi, he's big enough!...for a mid he's beginning to look too big. I'll be really happy if he doesn't grow any more.

Still exciting tho, right..?It's all well and good to want to see Nakia play well and as one whom wanted our first pick to have an impact this year, and I think it's very possible that he will.
As we know however, it's a along season for the fittest of rookies and with Nakia aging only one game of late I doubt his tank will be anywhere close to where it needs to be.
Can he show us some stuff - yes - but I feel I will be in very short bursts at best.. In the immediate term anyway.
Go Catters
They may have to try Walker at CHB.
I can already hear the shrieking cries of "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO"
If it's ok for Luke Dunstan and he's more inside, then why not Nakia?....as long as it's not gifting and his form is good through the NAB I'd be inclined to make a statement to the rest of our youth and inject excitement into the squad.
