Toast Tom Clurey

[Shaucob_Burjan]

At the start of the season he had scores kicked on him regularly and I'll admit I ripped him and was harsh but he has certainly held his own since.

Top game from him today. Solid defense (although he had a couple kicked on him in the end) but the rebound run was fantastic. How many times did he outread his forward opponent and just stole the mark followed by a fantastic exit kick to setup the mids going forward.

Heck even if you look at the numbers, his possession count has been steadily rising. That's a big sign that his confidence has growing.

Good work Clurey, forming a nice partnership with Jonas in defense.

 

[Magus]

Gun.

 

[Peck]

He was amazing today.

 

[Dalfino]

Aside from Robbie, Clurey was BOG for me today. He's tall, he's fast, he's strong and he's developing into an awesome defender for us. Him and Jonas have been at the core of our great defense this season and I can't wait to witness the rest of his career.

 

[NEGAN]

Massive reason why we have the best defense in the biz.

 

[RossFC]

Best game I've seen him play since he shut down Nick Riewoldt in pre-season at Alberton a few years ago.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Was marking everything today. Definitely a key to our backline now.

 

[Kingfish73]

A star in the making

Nah, even early season when he had some on him, it was usually due to our complete lack of midfield help or other defenders not helping enough. Has been in best players most games.

 

[TeeKray]

Plays like a 200 gamer. Hardly ever makes a mistake. Huge improver.

 

[Total Power]

Massive test against Riewoldt next week.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Putting together a serious season

 

[tangolikelama]

Just got home from the game and was going to post the same thread. Absolute jet, lock him down.

 

[t0mmO]

Saw at the game that he was absolutely killing it in defence all day. Kid's gonna be a gun

 

[tribey]

Coming like a steam train. Good lad.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

And so beautiful to look at

 

[Marmozet]

Should have been given more games in the past but I'm so glad he's a lock in the best 22 now.

10 year defender!

 

[Rexie J]

• Just watching the replay. Late in the 1st quarter near the goal square - a brilliant piece of shepherding by Tom -
• classic old style arms out wide, body right into his opponent's body. Almost a lost art these days.

 

[Magpiespower]

Between my penchant for 80s nostalgia pr0n and Tom's uncanny likeness to Martin Leslie, right down to the broad shoulders, socks round the ankles and #17 guernsey, I've always been a fan.

But now he's really found his feet at AFL level.

All he has to do now is belt Dermott Brereton and the love for Cluzza would be shared by every footy fan across this arid wasteland...

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

And so beautiful to look at

Except for the missing tooth, unless you're into that sort of thing.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Very Very good today

 

[Pappagallo]

He was large and in charge today. Well done Cluzza!

 

[jack_black16]

His reading of the play and intercept marking were excellent today.

Clurey and Houston <3

Feel free to correct me someone, but didn't he do a tricks vid on the club YouTube a few years ago?

Has some serious technical ability you wouldn't expect from his defendy type.

He's one of those rare breed of players who are actually taught that you have 2 feet.
