Hopefully this means Tucker could make his debut on Saturday
People definitely have short term memories. Clancee was good in the early to middle part of last year - gave us a lot of that drive from half back. pro: flexibility, con: consistency. I'm not sure why AFL players have to be talked about as either "good" or "spuds" on BF. Truth is some are better than others but it's safe to assume they are all a great deal better than any of us.

Touché.
The thread does read like a comedy now though.
clogged says:
"I have always loved this bloke. He is your typical no nonsense fringe dweller who gets it done. His kicks are no nonsense, his attack on the ball is no nonsense, his haircut is no nonsense, his tattoos are ridiculous, what are you doing Clancee?"
What?
jedi mind tricks writes:
"He reminds me and I am hoping he could turn into Dane Swan."
Ludicrous levels of optimism in retrospect but I suppose it's enlightening on how quickly things change.
Note the thread was created in early may so this praise C. Pearce received was based on early season form, which obviously didn't continue. He played a handful of above average games where he was coddled by a ladder leading team with an elite midfield. When he isn't protected by the team he is exposed as the plodder he is.
Nice guy but sub-par footballer. I really wished it had of worked out for him: he deserves it more than most but he doesn't have the traits needed for the modern game.

Will be great to see Mora and Yaz getting out there for Peel this week hopefully.

Interesting to see Mora working with Zac D and Johnno on defensive marking ,blocking and spoiling after the main session. If Mora stands up I still reckon they are looking at CHB for him.

Yes but put this form into context - when Clancee played well it was at a time the whole team was playing well - in fact we were the ladding leading team during Pearce's run of good form. Even duds look a million dollars when they're surrounded by a powerhouse team.
If Pearce was so effective then he would be able to perform now - when the team is not playing well. What is stopping him? He should be one of our core group by now - his age & experience profile all are perfect. What he lacks is talent & athleticism. He was never a good footballer, he just played in a good team.
Now I know he has been cruelled by injury but at this stage of his career I think you can clearly see his strengths and weaknesses and come to an informed & fair decision regarding his playing future. He is what 26 now Come on. His trajectory in football is set. He's not good enough.

Still need to find a toaster big enough for him , as Ross always said we can't live with our past .currenly C.Pearce will go back to wafl and get 30+ possession but half of them will let down by his decision.

Just words. Ross & been criticised for prioritising stability over development&change.
Pearce will be one of the indicators of where this team & its development model is heading. If Pearce continues to get games at the expense of youngsters this will be a worrying sign. I hope for one that he does not get one more game this year.
But perhaps it's not ready for this season to be written off as a development one. Though even that argument, that stability should be favoured over development, is coming under scrutiny - even if we are to be contenders this year it's hard to see how we can argue change is not needed, list wise, strategy wise too. We can't win the premiership with numerous, not one, or two, many turnover merchants & marshmallows in the team, even if we do manage top-4.

Agree like a lot of postie said he is at the top of my second tier player in 2013, then the decline is too much for me . will cause damage to peel squad too if he continues with his slow decision. At least gu , deboer can still play for wafl or vfl.
Selecting players isn't that black and white though. We as fans can just casually say drop Player X because of statistic Y or incident/stuff up Z. Meanwhile the coaches/selectors will be looking at statistics A,B,C...Z (most of which we will never see), reviewing footage countless times, looking at team mix and balance, and so on. I'd personally like Tucker to debut, and if that is at the expense of Clancee then I wouldn't have a problem with it. But if the match committee go a different way I'm not niaive enough to think they are idiots and I know better than them. If I did, I'd have their jobs and they'd be sitting here posting on BF
So Clancee isn't even wafl level is what your saying? You need help

Clancee left the track injured. You would think he wouldn't play .

You started it by posting this
Can't wait for the meltdown when Clancee is probably selected again. Hasnt had a great start to the season but **** me this board has short memories. There was even a toast thread on him not even 12 months ago (don't like the board can awalys leave)
You want to remind us of toast , then let's toast it.

That sucks. Despite andrew99 going on like a two-bob watch, Clancee is an OK player and, in form, nice for our mix. Injury has really stuffed up his ability to get some consistency over the last few years actually. Hopefully minor. Any idea what it is?
