Who do you think the best centre Clearance player is?

Explain why below, I don't know who I think is yet, i'll form an opinion once I know! :)
 
Watson, Boyd, Mitchell and Judd.
Hard to split.
Watson and Boyd probably ahead but Mitchell and Judd are more well rounded players.
Was tempted to put Swallow into this group also.

Cotchin worth a mention. He's #2 in clearances per game this year. But back on topic, Boyd for sheer weight of numbers, and Ablett for effectiveness.
 
Mitchell has more clearances than any other player from 2003 to 2010, even including Judd.

Greg Williams & Mick Malthouse have both said he is the best clearance player since Williams. So Mitchell please :D

This is all Watson could do for many years, but has now a much more rounded game.
I have more confidence when the ball is near Watson in close, than any Essendon player I have seen. Specialist in clearances and hardly ever goes to ground and bearly moves and never seems to get tackled.

Mitchell would be my second choice.
 
Watson for me too.

Watson was on pace for the Brownlow before being injured, and his best asset is clearing the ball from clearances.
most of the others are better at other areas of the game, where Jobe and maybe Boyd and Mitchell are best at clearing the ball in heavy traffic.

Watson, Boyd and Mitchell for mine.
 
I'm terribly biased so I won't comment on Watson but for longevity, Mitchell and Judd have to be the two considered above all others. If we're talking about cleanest, Pendlebury, Black and Dal Santo rule; explosive - Kerr, Judd, NicNat (!) and the might GAJ.

Dal Santo ahead of Hayes?

Judd, Ablett and Goodes are probably the most damaging clearance players on the burst.

Mitchell, Watson, and Boyd are the best at wining the most center clearances.

Hayes, Hodge and Kerr are probably the best of both worlds...
 
Boyd/Mitchell/Judd/Watson, it's too hard to split them.

There is no number one stand out.
