What pissed me off is that he kept slipping and getting caught multiple times. Would much rather we develop Clark on the wing to make up for lost time in his development. Have Freddy play wing in the WAFL in the meantime.
Clark is a far better player on the wing than he is at half back with more structural and defensive importance, why would we target him and pay a decent price and play him out of position as a defender?
A fair retort, but after hearing JL on the AFL draft podcast, I think we are all going to have to accept the fact that Clark is playing half back. Now what to do about those feeling of paying such a high price for a skinny half back flanker I'm not too sure, but he is not going to be a winger (to start at least).
I think both Geelong and Fremantle now disagree with him being a winger primarily, he was also drafted as a halfback/medium defender
Geelong don't have a shortage of half back flankers. Some of them are pretty ordinary and it has always concerned me that Clark was not rated in front of them. I get that there was a rift between Scarlett and Clark, and I guess I am hoping that is the basis of it, and I guess we will find out. But the 4x1km time trials was a fine beginning.
Tucker is a part-time junkie??
Of course it's okay for him to get some experience in the backline but I want him primarily to play on the wing in the future. If we wasted a *ing pick to get another skinny halfback flanker when we dropped Watson because "we had too many defenders" I will be fuming.
It's always best to pretend you didn't hear anything that Tom Morris says.
I will save that for tomorrow if we hold firm and take Johnson, it’s going to be tough as I think offers will come. Goater, sonsie, Johnson all sliders.
What about if we slide that pick + still pick up Johnson + maybe Bazzo because of it.
I would be very astounded if that happened, no way Johnson gets past the hawks and with the other talent available can’t see North selling the farm to move up one spot, they’ll get their guy anyway.
North wouldn’t have to sell any farms just slide 34 to 53
Just discovered that Colin Young is Johnson’s manager, so yep, trade away for best picks possible.
