The future!

Seems to be a bit of conjecture about this kid's height. Various sources range from 180 up to 186. Someone's telling porkies pies.

Either way, kid looks like he's going to be a gun!

The 180 measurement was from prior to this year's footy season. I believe the 185-186 measurements are more accurate

Really think this guy will be in the seniors next season - looks talented and a guy that really wants it.

This kid reminds me of Ben Cousins (the way he runs)

The only lines Clarke will do are lines of fans asking to sign autographs on jumpers. And boobs.

Don't expect to get clarity from the club website. He is listed at both 180 & 184cm

Corey Wagner is listed at 180. In the latest training update Clarke is running with Wagner and is quite a bit taller than him. 186 id say.

Are you referring to his premature balding?

Yep l was there the other day watching he is taller than 180cm.

I seriously can not wait to see this crop of draftees. This could be our best ever crop with what they bring to the table especially the ability to cover ground with most already at AFL level. It now comes down to ability to play the game at the level.

Pulls more birds than yourself probs

 

[GarnerSmash]

That last bit is key. With Clarke i reckon he gets it. His link up play, his inside play and his continual running show a guy who understands the game. I think that he will be the pick of this crop.

Wow a bit defensive. Just stating a fact.

And why is it even relevant....?

Could be the next Abeltt

Some of our supporters have misshaped cogs in their brains sometimes. Of all the things to make more than one post about.

Of course, this post comes two years after we spent weeks talking about LMac's drug habits. Screw you, WC.

I have some mild confidence of a Clarke debut if Turner's could come practically out of nowhere.

Anything else to report?

Glad someone saw where I was going with it.

I just want to check. Does Nathan have hair?

Okay, I've seen references to this everywhere but don't know what's it about. Drug habit? When, where? Is there a thread on it?

The problem for all of them will be getting a chance. We all know Scott is very reluctant to try new players, especially if the side is doing ok. But these guys (the mids from this draft crop) must all be given a taste at some stage this year, for their development. We need to learn how to rotate and make sure that our key players play no more than 17 H&A games.

Well known around draft time.

One of the main reasons West Coast bid on him.

Cultural fit.
