Clarke to play on

[Kane McGoodwin]

I personally dont see the advantage in Clarke playing next year, the general feeling is that we are going through a re-building stage, wasting a re-building year playing Clarke isnt going to help us long term.

I would much rather see Clarke gone and Biglands or Hudson go on as number 1 ruckman while the crows recruit a young ruckman in the draft to rotate with Biglands or Hudson during the games to expose him.

Keeping Clarke means that we arent going to have room in our side to expose a young ruckman to AFL football which puts us a year behind the development. I would rather go in the deepend of rebuilding rather than keeping guys just for the sake of it

The advantage of Clarke playing on another year (hopefully wearing gloves) is that we can trade brainless Biglands & bring through Hudson with more game time. Just need to trade / draft another young ruckman like a Minson.
