Up next Mitch Harvey pls.
Is Mitch up for contract this year or was he given 3 years when we listed him?

Think we have done that in the past with players we know are going to need a couple of years to develop.

Can suck it!
He's an unusual player is Cluzza. When I've seen him at SANFL level (infrequently I'll admit) I'm always left thinking that he's a slow, bad decision maker, who lacks aggression and doesn't quite suit any role. But his two games at AFL level have left the exact opposite impression. Infact, he really couldn't have slotted in any easier on the weekend.

Congrats Tommy, I hope that signing on will help boost your confidence and allow you to have an absolute blinder tonight! Show us what the future of our defense looks like :)

He's not going anywhere.

Schulz, Westy, Ryder all aging he's opportunity is coming just has to be patient listen to the coaches and build his tank he loves the club and who knows what he's going to be. Bit like hartlett he's not going anywhere

The love for clurey just got bigger. Has a lot of potential and Could have easily jumped ship to get regular games but has instead stuck with us and backed himself to force a way in. Not sure what role he'll eventually settle in but happy for him to stick around and find out

Really liked Clurey's game today, first quarter and a bit was a bit nervy but he was great from then on. Had a very Hombsch-esque second half with his contested intercept marking.

He's been better than Jonas & not just by a little margin, his kicking/decision making is much better than both JT/TJ's, as much as I like him if Tom wasn't in the leadership group he'd be lucky to keep his spot as he's the player that's regressed the most on our list this year.

Assuming Clurey keeps this form up when Jacko is fit to return i'd be keeping him in ahead of Jonas because he's a better kick & looks capable of beating his man something TJ hasn't really done this year, Jacko will be straight back in because we need someone to match up the resting ruck & the 197cm+ forwards.
 
Very good news, especially for those of us who've seen him with the Maggies and thought that with him not getting AFL games he was a certain loss to another team at the end of the year. I remain puzzled why he isn't being tried forward with the Maggies (and eventually with the Power). His contested marking ability would have to pay off in some fashion up forward.

Late on this thread but must say was surprised when he had.... Could have seen him being on of those players who would be an almost walk up starter to half the sides in the afl and would still be around 4 years away from finding a spot.
But great to see some loyalty!
