Forward/Ruck = TabernerWell if we followed the Hawks model they actually play the following:
1. Ruck / Ruck = McEvoy
2. Ruck / Forward = Hale/Ceglar
3. Forward / Ruck = Roughead*
* Played more forward in recent years but the option is there.
We have:
1. Ruck / Ruck = Sandilands
2. Ruck / Forward = Clarke
3. ????

I don't know why they didn't trial him down back for a few games this year. He could be a very good loose man in defence with his height, speed and leap.
He doesn't read the game well enough.I don't know why they didn't trial him down back for a few games this year. He could be a very good loose man in defence with his height, speed and leap. Mark Blicavs has looked very good at times playing that role.
He doesn't read the game well enough.
I don't know, it seems to me that the thing that separates the very best players from the rest is that ability to makes sense of a whole bunch of variable in your head and calculate where the ball is going to be more often than the rest.I'm pretty sure he can handle it E Shed. Blicavs hadn't really played Footy before and he does it to good affect. Our backline structures take a lot of the guesswork out of it.

Guys like MJ are supernatural at looking downfield and knowing when to leave their man or roll off to go 3rd man up, which side the play is going to come down.
It would actually be one of my criticisms of Clarke that he doesn't read the game that well resulting in him not putting on as much pressure as he could with his endurance as well as some of his poor kicking decisions.
It seems to be the hardest part of the game to teach to those that didn't grow up with it. Imagine if Naitanui had a clue about where to be and run.
Its so many little things that add up to the ability to read the game.
