Yep another great game from the ROTY.

 

[ghostdog]

Would like to see Clarke's reaction time improve when the game goes up a gear. I thought he got caught out a couple of times last night, maybe underestimating GC's urgency. Kicks can be a bit high and slow.

Kid would be absolutely running on fumes at the moment.

 

[MattyB3150]

Another shining light for the season. People forget he was injured at the start of the season and came into the seniors after only one game in the VFL after that from memory? Look forward to seeing him after a full preseason. He has the size and endurance.

 

[FlyingV]

Another example of a player who hits the ground running when he is a natural endurance athlete. Add to Martin, Durham, Roberts, Caddy

 

[Yoda_]

Apparently taken an unofficial leadership role within the younger group, vocal, leading, doing the right things. Can see him firmly cementing himself in the best 23 in 2026.

Think hes already best 23 no worries tbh

He needs to be knocked off his spot now by guys like Nguyen, Zak Johno types

nguyen plays an entirely different position on the ground

Still can be interchangeable due to our flexibility in team and squad

 

[Call Me Cake]

Played 15 games and 14 have been losses. Brutal.

 

[Zach Package]

He would have played from round 1 if he didn’t ding the shoulder in pre season, he probably burns out a little earlier but he is well and truly entrenched as far as I am concerned

 

[MattyB3150]

Played 15 games and 14 have been losses. Brutal.

And the game he won he kicked 3 and was the rounds rising star

 

[jmoo wan]

And the game he won he kicked 3 and was the rounds rising star

he should’ve probably done that more often, maybe he would’ve won some more games?

 

[MattyB3150]

Wasn’t it one of his first games he played after an interrupted preseason? To be fair it was against Richmond and pretty hard to expect a first year player to be winning you some games when half the team was out injured.

 

[faible]

Extended to 2028

 

[King Patty]

Well done Rosa, one of the most important signings done already.

 

[Runk]

Very pleased with this.

 

[Atavistic]

Good young player. A re-signing that makes sense.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

excited to see him and farrow in the same side.

 

[MattyB3150]

Very excited by Clarke. He has the size and endurance that our side has been lacking over the years. What will be his set position next season? He had to play down back when we got injuries but assume the wing will be his main spot?

Was a defender(HB) as a junior. The Redman 2.0 comp was very apt.
obviously had some good performances as a wing and his elite running lends itself to that spot.

Will likely depend on how the mix works with Farrow and Johnson and whoever else is available.

 

[Keystone agony]

More opportunity on the wing for now with Marto but i think long term hes a genuine half back and will get to a level where hes better there and not lost on some stale wings at times

Otherwise i think he sits alongside
Mcgrath - Mckay - Reid
Redman - Ridley - A.Roberts (A.Clarke) as in our best back 7 for now

But i think with a guy like Farrow and Nguyen will likely be shifted out to a wing for the short term

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

This kid screams Big V half back flanker for a decade for me.

Hope it pans out.

Not sure the South Australian selectors will be a fan of that?
