Magnificent homework Murph
He always had a tremendous football IQ Horrendous decision to move him on in the first place
Clarkson then Lyon are the two best unavailable coaches
Ratts having experienced time under Hawthorn/Clarkson and his obvious influence with StKida this year makes him a serious contender..
