Past #13: Ryan Clarke - officially traded to Sydney in exchange for #61 in 2018 ND - thanks Clarkey

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Liked his game yesterday. Has the footy smarts. Few questionable disposals under immense pressure I can live with this early in his career.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Should get rising star nom this week just ahead of Jy imo

He should but he doesn't play for Carlton so expect McKay to get it.

 

[Kimbo]

Almost looks like a real gun, but his disposal by hand needs some real work. Has a lot of strengths however, will definitely make it.

Good call. It's as if he's handballing this way due to insufficient strength in his arms. That's how it looks.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

All the complaints about his disposal etc, just remember he's played SEVENTEEN (that's for you dees fans) games and his first four were spectacular (when he had a lot more experience around him).

Best is yet to come, has the smarts, skills and intent to be one of the first 3 picked each week.

 

[Jonnoo]

Had a good last qtr yesterday, adjusting to the fast tempo of afl nicely.

 

[Hazey1977]

This combined with what he did in the finals in his draft year make me like him a lot. Gets better when the heat comes on.

Very astute draft pick in my opinion..... like him a lot!

Your boy

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

31 disposals at 90%, 300+ metres gained and linked up well on a s**t night.

 

[Gasometer]

Is that a breakout game for Clarko?

Can he go elite next year?

Deserves a RS nomination.

 

[gokangas]

Deserves a RS nomination.

Agree, but he plays for North. We don't get them.

He won't be "elite" until he fixes up his defensive work.

He was shown up badly by De Goey a couple of times when he got dragged in to the Collingwood forward line.

Still, it was a good game from a young kid in his 17th match.

 

[North Viking]

Deserves a RS nomination.

Yeah but nah.
He was rising star last year!
Don't think you can be nominated twice....

Needs to model his defensive running game on Gibson and add the defensive elements that are missing ATM.

DeGoey has an extra pre-season and a lot more senior footy behind him than Ryan, but Ryan certainly has a few goals that he needs to achieve over the pre-season.

Noticed that.

But let's get serious here. It was a 1v1 deep, degoey has the strength to push through the likes of cunners at a stoppage. Ideally clarkes best is as an outside mid and team structures should indicate he never gets put into those scenarios.

I wouldn't be pinning that one on him just yet

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Still eligible.

To be eligible to be nominated for the award, a player must be younger than 21 years of age on 1 January of the award year and have played 10 or fewer senior games before the beginning of the season.

 

[Harris 10]

Yeah but nah.

You can.

Silvagni is an example.

 

[North Viking]

I understand that he is eligible to win the overall rising star award for 2018, I'm only stating that he cannot be nominated as a rising star (again) as that was done last year!
I've never heard of or seen a player being nominated twice before...
Happy to be proven wrong

 

[North Viking]

You can.

Silvagni is an example.

Silvagni was nominated this year.
When was the other occasion? As I've searched 2016 records and he recovers no nominations. He was recruited 2015

Ok I stand to be corrected. Thanks!

It is just very rare for it to happen.

 

[Route57]

Call me a sour lemon, but if Clarke is racking up those numbers and seem's to make his way to every single contest a long the wing. How much more reliance will we have on Gibson? It's a shame that both of them don't have more elite attributes or skills to their game.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Needs to be stronger physically.

Almost an elite runner already though. It's about time we had more than one accumulator.
