Last Game Played: Round 23, 2021 (omitted)

[Despair]

Can we please call him DK mode or Bobble? 99 VCE, wat! Probably fell down the pack, as he could potentially want to do medicine.

Ahhh Goldeneye, dem nostalgic feels.

Welcome to the club Dylan.

 

[Run and carry]

Closely resembles Clay Smith from the Dogs I reckon. Same body shape, same kicking style. and same tenacity.

 

[Foxx]

Reminds me of Stantons kicking style. Particularly early on in his career. He worked out well, and I think Clarke will too.

[Atavistic]

Apparently he's Mr Average.

Champion Data having him ranked 12th shows just how much of a bargain he could be.

 

[Yoda_]

Genuinely excited to see a young extractor in the guts again. Even if it is the twos he could be a bargain

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Clarke will wear No. 37.

Close to another Clarke's old number (Neil) which was No. 39 before going single digits.

 

[The Donners]

Reminds me of Clint Jones.

Clint jones.. Would be happy with his output for a pick 63. Reckon he's got more tricks than him but ultimately his career will likely be defined by opportunity.

Personally hope to see him in 10 - 15 games this year. Love

10-15 games? That's expecting a lot given the guys that've come back.

Once wore a North jumper. DELIST.

Yep it is.

 

[WEEVZ]

Yep it is.

I'd say temper those expectations, if he plays more than 5 games at AFL level he'll have done very well imo.

Difference between expecting and hoping.

Rate highly, want to invest in youth. Would love him to be good enough to warrant 10 - 15. I expect him to play 2 or 3 in back half of year

Fair call, I'd hope all of our draftee's play next year. I'd say the two least likely would be Ridley and Mutch though due to (at least currently) not having bodies that would allow them to compete.

McGrath ready round 1 baring injury. Reckon Clarke will be too. Which is why I hope he gets an opportunity.

Next premiership please. A lot of 93 about this list.

McGrath yes, Clarke I'm not so sure don't think we'll see him until the latter part of the season. As much as he improved during the TAC season he's still got a fair bit of work to do on his kicking, size wise though I won't dispute that he's probably the 2nd or 3rd most physically ready along with McGrath and Begley.

 

[scanlon]

Clarke has the body but won't be good enough IMO. Lots of deficiencies in his game that will take a while to (hopefully) fix

He'll put in the work I've no doubt of that, his work ethic is fantastic. I do very much doubt he'll play more than 5 games though (that's assuming he does debut this year).

Yeah not saying he won't become a good player for us, but I can't see him getting a game in the seniors this year. Will be a good VFL player at most this year IMO.

 

[eDPS]

If Clarke comes out in the pre-season games getting 25+ touches he could make a play for Round 1. I dont think he will play early but he is extremely driven and a natural ball winner. If his form warrants it he plays and that goes for anyone. He will get in the bests in VFL pretty regularly i reckon.
