Delisted #20: Zac Clarke - Delisted - 24/10

[JayJ20]

Horrendous. Delist

 

[freddy mercury]

Better off getting a length of PVC pipe and sticking it in the ruck. * me swinging.

 

[Kakkle]

Was horrendous for about 90% of the game. But thought he had some good moments in the last 10 mins or so there. Stays in, I guess!?

 

[Beerfish]

Clutch

 

[Lore]

I.. um. I don't know whether to be happy that he showed he's capable of playing, or sad that he most likely will again, and then won't.

 

[Zach Package]

I have no idea what to make of any of that. Looked like Aliir basically conceding the ruck but roving everything broke his brain and it took him a while to work out a plan B

 

[Wangawuti]

Very bad game, but credit to him for keeping his head up and taking the clutch mark. Gotta respect that.

 

[naraku]

Did what he need to do. Got 25-30 hit outs for us, at least gave us a presence of sorts even if generally a crappie one.

 

[Donakebab]

He would perform better against a more traditional ruckman. Aliir just had far too much agility.

 

[BrunoV]

Thank god we pick him to win some hit outs.

Clearly made all the difference.

 

[CBombers17]

On a hiding to nothing given he was against Alir Alir and it wasn't a conventional ruck contest. Kept how head in the game and was somewhere between just ok and poor for mine.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Yeah nah, Smack in the ruck. Hooker forward, Hartley or BZT in. He got destroyed by Aliir Aliir. He has Goldstein next week. Get him out.

 

[Tassieboy]

Lifted late...

 

[Gabe251]

Literally hit it to Allir like 5 or 6 times. Absolute joke.

He may perform better against Goldy, as he plays a different game but will still be beaten soundly. Once the ball hits the deck, he's worth absolutely nothing.

 

[fairbump_playon]

so VERY weird that he was dominant in the last ten minutes.

at all other stages looked like a baby giraffe trying to play ice hockey.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Do not know how he was not awarded the golden kipfler award even before the game started.

 

[Gabe251]

I think he will get picked again. Woosh will want another big body on the field against Goldy. Sigh.

 

[eth-dog]

Poor game. Those saying Smack ruck next week, need I remind you of this:

T Goldstein: 27 disposals, 8 marks, 4 tackles, 56 hit outs

Nightmare scenario

Thanks for the reminder...at least there is some contribution there.

 

[windyhill]

He was beautiful, tried his nuts off, clunked THAT mark. Tick from me.

 

[blitzer]

I think he will do better against Goldstein as whilst Goldstein is good around the ground for a ruck he's nowhere near as agile as Aliir Aliir and doesn't normally rack up clearances or anything like that. McKernan got absolutely obliterated last time we played him in the ruck vs Goldstein. If we wanted to try McKernan in the ruck as our first ruck, then Sydney was the team to do it against.

One thing that I was happy with was how he used the ball the few times he got it (ie he didn't turn it over). Nice safe disposals is what we want from him.

Can't speak for VelvetSledge but I think the standard was pretty high (or low?) this week

 

[Vindicater]

Yep. Was horrible but Goldy will destroy Smack and that robs our forward line.

Reckon he plays again which makes me sad.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Can't speak for VelvetSledge but I think the standard was pretty high (or low?) this week

I reckon the journo who broke the Raz story has that sewn up, but Clakkas isn't far off.

Bloody hell

Dominant?

He took a contested mark.
