[Lore]

Contract Status: Not offered a contract for 2021
Last Game Played: Round 23, 2021 (omitted)
Injury Status: n/a

 

[JT_the_Man]

I know it’s unlikely, but I really hope he gets another contract.

 

[Duckworth]

I know it’s unlikely, but I really hope he gets another contract.

Looks better if you're in the side when the music stops.

 

[bennyg12]

He should get another year contract

 

[blitzer]

I don't know if we should keep him on the list or not but certainly not doing himself any harm.
Clarke, Gleeson, Phillips, Guelfi have all played some solid footy in the seniors this year.

All could lay claims to being quality AFL depth I'd say. I don't have anything against any of them but my ordered preference for keeping them would be:
Phillips, Guelfi, Clarke then Gleeson.

 

[citizen-erased]

With zero midfield depth, may find himself still on the list next season.
Don't mind it either. We can't be flippant with zero midfield depth.

 

[Ambrosia]

Big fan. Surely he can find a spot on the end of our rookie list

 

[11kgm]

Surely better then Zaka Johnson and Cahill keep over Gleeson

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Waddled around chasing the Bulldogs midfield for most of the game.

Even with our lack of depth can't see him not getting the chop

’s ball drop has improved and his kicking with it

 

[TheGrizz]

If he can replicate the last fortnight for the next fortnight, he may have earned himself another contract

 

[Bjchan13]

He's already on the rookie list but agree he should get another year. He's a solid unit and balances the 22 when he plays. Good mix of physicality and pretty smart decision making when he plays.

 

[Zach Package]

Sorry guys

But Dylan Clarke’s ball drop has improved and his kicking with it

100%

He’ll obviously never be Buckley but everything about his kicking is better than 18 months ago

 

[Megabattimus]

Give him another year.

He just seems to know how to use his body in contests. Marking contests as well just knows how to move people.
Funnily enough he is probably our only mid that either can do it (the others can't) or chooses to do it (the others refuse) regularly.

Everyone else is either all arms trying to push and giving away frees or they go the ball and take the contact.
Then there is Jake who just runs over people.

But Dyl controls space so well. He has everything except kicking. How could that be the one thing that stops him from having a career?

 

[quotemokc]

Happy to be proven wrong but that fact that it has taken this long for him to break in to the side considering all our midfield injuries I doubt he is with us next year.

 

[Ambrosia]

It hasn’t taken him long at all. He was injured all year and came in after his second full VFL game.

 

[Kyptastic]

He’s been injured all year, only came back into the 2s a month ago

he's also not playing midfield.

Didn't realise he had been injured

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

Definitely been a surprise to see him slot in well. He has brought some footy nous and contested ability and clearly he's worked to tidy up his disposal a lot. If he stays consistent in the next handful I sense he'll have moved his name out of the delist column and into the "handy depth" column for 2022.

 

[Bombers36]

He’s been really decent in both his games back I’ve thought. Decent size, sticks his tackles and does lots of 1 percenters- wouldnt mind seeing him given a job on Touk Miller

[The Donners]

It appears as though he is liked by all players. Rutten is building a culture and if Clarke is the type that works harder than anyone on his game then he’s a monty to remain on the rookie list.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

He was excellent yesterday. His kicking was good too, he isn't dropping it from space now.

 

[Old Campaigner]

His kicking has improved a lot since I last saw it. It's clearly not a natural, fluid motion but it's good enough. Given that was the big knock on his game it's probably worth giving him another year.

 

[Scottie65]

I want him in..showed a lot since he’s been back.. tough and tackles well ... good tagger and has improved his kicking... could be another jobe with his size
