Ok, so I read the call out to us lurkers to post something useful on this Clarko thread as a matter of historical importance. But...... Oh wait, I've got something... 55 words? Only word I've found is Caro, which means "serious girlfriend" in Nigeria. 54 to go...

I haven't been contributing, but found the discussion on here so useful. Just adding my 5 cents on the issue of cultural groups, having worked with South Sudanese communities for years as well as with several other communities in the north and west. This includes working on public health...

Loving watching Mahony. He has taken over Sugar's role as the defensive forward in style (with the bonus of allowing Kayno to successfully reinvent as lockdown defender tagger). But Jack also brings the one-touch, smart decision making to the forward line that KT lacks. Already a fixture in the...

Such a pure footballer. With Nobes throwing him in the middle, can sense he has embraced the responsibility of being a midfielder and can tell he knows he has more ability than most of those around him. Agree on the fitness base comments, but also loving seeing him often working hard even when...

BOG - 2017 draft pick 6 (Stevo) 2nd BOG - 2017 draft pick 4 (LDU) Best game for the club - 2017 draft pick 11 (Bonar) Huge upside with these 3. I spent nearly half an hour explaining to B2B jnr how the club had a long-term plan to get Stevo since he had trained at Arden St, wanted to come...

Going to enjoy watching Spicer and also Ford as our speculative draftees when the praccies begin in earnest. Always a good opportunity to see some early signs. Could see the quality of Jy and Larkey in their first pre-season hit-outs and lots of rookies to have a look at this year. Some...

Was served tea on a silver tray sitting on the roof of a train from Jaisalmer to Delhi...great memories...20++ years ago. Remember arguing with a guy about cricket. He said Merv Hughes has scored a bundle with the bat and Borrder had taken 5 of 6 wickets and I suggested he got them back to...

The beauty of this thread is that its got a bit of everything......except footy. Quality stuff.

Just a query about postal ballots. There are a bunch of 'new' Big Footy members at the retirement village across the road who indicated they would like to vote for POTY. There was a bit of disappointment when they heard GR, Snake and Zondor had been rubbed out but they were reassured that I was...

I guess they discovered he is more arsonist than firefighter. He prefers using a bucket of petrol than water.

Spot on andana. I must say I enjoyed plenty of good luck over the years with our resident geckos in northern Thailand (inside and outside). Not only are they a sign of good luck, but they are brilliant alarm clocks. Locals say having too many geckos around brings the cobras which was proven...

The bloke makes a huge difference. Opposition teams waltzed out of defence all year, with only Mahony and moments of CamZ and Taylor showing a bit of Sugar's intensity. It's easy to forget that KT hurts when he hits and that's what makes him gold. We need a return to the pitbull approaches of KT...

Some sadness in Maj departing Arden St, but I'm mostly just happy to see how he is in a good place now. I don't know the intricacies of the decision, but I know Rhyce was a pillar of support to Maj when he was in hospital and in his recovery, so it will have happened with great mutual respect...

I like your thinking Jabba. We could make sure all 'handballs' can only go backwards. And if the players are forced to just push the ball out of contests, we could get rid of those ruck contests. Just got to do something with getting rid of the running bounce and those point posts. Could really...

Stupid me. I thought we were playing Freo..... :cool: At least Gaso has restored the Game Day order of things.

One day in September I hope. Personally, I picture him playing on as one of those slow, balding hard men you find in the country leagues.:rolleyes:

Spot on Horace. I cant stand it when media heads and coaches roll out "we don't use injuries as an excuse" or that old chestnut "we will just replace him with another soldier". Our season has been totally rooted by injury in what is a 'just keep the AFL afloat' season courtesy of some little...

Off to Alice Springs, then a 5-day break to Cairns, back to Cairns 4 days later, and a 5-day break to play at the Gabba. Their new conditioning guru will be earning his keep. Good luck winning 4 games in 14 days.

Worked with his cousin for a while a few decades ago. Met Robbie at his wedding and chatted about the stolen generations. The Muirs were heavily affected. Very close knit family.

Not sure who was speaking, but caught a bit of chat on the pre-match on ABC radio last night about list cuts being spread over 3 seasons. So if 36 is the target and last night's call is correct, we are probably looking at reductions of around 3 each of the next 3 years.

Hey Mitch, stop pinching my material... 8. The Roos' engine room will carry their rebuild Rhyce Shaw made a statement by dropping Jared Polec and Aaron Hall in a midfield unit already missing Ben Cunnington, Jack Ziebell and Tarryn Thomas through injury. Then he kept his next best midfielder...

Is that the first time, BMac, Durds, and EVW have lined up together....and more than held their own? If the 3 of them can hold their spots and earn new contracts on the back of 5 more rounds of solid footy, then half of our defensive issues are on the way to being sorted. And some of the black...

Can see the confidence building every game. The first couple of games back he was spoiling (very effectively) and doing nothing else. Now he is starting to back his marking and even running out of defence. Playing on the opposition's key forwards has been brilliant coaching by Shaw as Benny has...

He's a star. Still gaining in confidence too. Winning plenty of the ball now to compliment his tackling game. Become a general in the midfield in Cunners absence.

Worked hard in the last quarter sacrificing his spot on the list to protect our pick 2 in the draft......

Our midfield took the honours. Great to see the combination of Jedi, Simpkin, LDU, Dumont and Goldy do more than hold their own against a highly-rated midfield.
