for the short to medium term and start the project with others.

Clarke''s not showing anything new. Don't get caught up with his ability to accumulate possessions. He was dominant on-ball during his 2019 VFL campaign. We know he can play the game. When he's essentially an old fashioned ruckman, looking to give the hands by default, and someone team mates run around 35m out from goal, it's can't be a 'yes'.

Utterly maddening that one aspect of his game is such a problem but that makes it no less a problem.

I would give him 5 years because I find him fascinating, but this is the important part. We're not seeing anything that we didn't see last season when he came in and played half forward. The difference is not a rabble so of course it's looking better. But if what we saw last season was enough to delist him, then I can't imagine him being renewed unless we're juggling salary cap and list spots in such a way that it makes sense to keep him

 

[JT_the_Man]

His kicking is improved. That is what’s new.

This is what we’re building, young kids having fun winning. This is great for our football culture. Thats why Clarke gets resigned. Fits in, knows the system, not expensive on our salary cap, can play a variety of positions.

 

[Old Campaigner]

what's the go with the fingers?

someone needs to show those kids what the shocker is supposed to look like

I agree with the sentiment. Said a couple weeks back it appears he is well liked by the boys and if nothing else he’s depth. With likely retirements (Ambrose, Hooker, Mosquito, Zaharakis) there’s a spot on the list for at least 1 more year.

His kicking has improved. He is already on the rookie list and proven to be solid depth. All you're doing is giving him another year on the rookie list and he doesnt demand $. No one is talking multiple years or a spot in the best 22. George Hewett can have a spot on the main list if he is interested in joining us as a free agent.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Personally I'm loving what he's bringing at the moment. 1.3 marks inside 50 a game, 2.7 clearances, 5.3 score involvements. Nice little support role.

 

[Lore]

bump. Misses out on playing in the final (unless he's the sub).

 

[Vander18]

Feel for him. High character guy who gives everything. Would have held up physically in a final, no problem.

I’d have sent Guelfi back and kept Dyl ahead of Marty but coaches see it differently.

 

[Megabattimus]

I'd be surprised if he wasn't the sub.

If it’s not him I’d imagine it’s Cox.

I’m fine with either but give me Clarke because he was the last one out.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Really could’ve used him today.

He better get a new contract.

 

[yodellinhank]

The best kick for a player named Dylan in our side.

I thought it was a big mistake to leave him out.

Would have been nice to throw a guy round the ball who nails his tackles. Outside of Parish (his hands are amazing) too often our mids would bobble the first touch and then not put enough physical pressure on the Bulldogs players.

Yep, and the weather forecast was there all week for us all to see, should have been in the first dozen or so picked.

Hasn’t got much wrong this year Truck so can’t be too critical but I feel this was a selection error.

 

[Ambrosia]

Looks like he’s been cut unless the Silvan Slugs are posting his signing as a joke.

 

[ant555]

Last comment I heard was Clarke and Gleeson decisions would be made after the trade and FA period.

Essendon have said that they're waiting until after trade period on whether or not we sign him and Gleeson

You don’t think him signing for a local cricket team is a big indication he’s gone?
