Ryan Clarke is only 21.
Needs to be given much more time and credit.
He is going ok .

Late picks are always speculative. Got early games last year only because of long injury list.

The Swans website described Clarke's game as a 'dazzling performance'.

You know I am more worried about Witches they can really hold a grudge, wizards too. Not to mention Leprechauns or fairies or Gil.
Unfortunately, from what I can gather , Ling did not did not provide anything at all to get excited about. Played in the back pocket, only got 9 possessions and his opponent Keays kicked 4 goals on him.Our high draft picks are disappointing across the board at the moment
Give him a chance , only 3 games after a year out , very harsh. He will prove you wrong.Unfortunately, from what I can gather , Ling did not did not provide anything at all to get excited about.

AFL aligned clubs in the SANFL, WAFL and VFL retain players who have been delisted or were not selected in the draftsman. This helps improve the quality of those comps and provides individuals with the chance to show their wares for future drafts.
All of us recognise the NEAFL is a lesser quality comp. I have often wondered whether top up players who get a game with us or the other three northern AFL Clubs in the NEAFL are paid for their efforts.
Are there NEAFL or AFL rules that preclude employment of unlisted players in our Ressies team?
I see the employment of one or two former club stalwarts (like KJ), maybe a couple of promising kids who missed on the draft and two or three former AFL listed players as a means of strengthening our team and the development of young blokes on our list.

Young academy 17 to 19 year olds do it for experience. No payment at all.
I guess it is lart of their apprenticeships!
Fair enough too

Yeah I’ve been thinking the same Bloodied52
Several times I have thought that COR went from being an L plater to an old head among the the kids before he’d had the chance to fully blossom himself. Accepting responsibility is admirable but he’s not living half a world away from family and friends to lead a neafl team to glory.
Having said that... a bloke like James Bell seems to have become a better player in recent weeks thru leading by example.
A couple of playing assistant coaches reassuring COR and pushing Belly might be better value than another Uni graduate preaching the theory of the bouncing Sherrin

Well I can recall people on here getting so worked up when Mitchell was getting plenty possies in the twos & not a senior game.
He couphed it up plenty too in the early days but improved dramatically.
47 possessions is an extremely fair effort from any footballer so credit where it's due I guess. Hence a "dazzling performance".
We’ve done that because the Academy boys we would usually utilise have been tied up with the NAB League games. Those games finished last weekend so as of now we have an extra 20 or so boys available and itching for a chance to play Ressies (with the exception of the handful of boys who will get called up to the Allies squad to be announced shortly).

Fair enough. I wish our kids could play a complete Tac season.
Totally agree. I suspect the Vic clubs don’t want us there though.
