Bit tough to say when he hasn't played a single game of AFLRankine is head and shoulders above any player in this draft class imo. That said i doubt GC trade him this year anyway so its probably irrelevant.

It doesn't matter. We're in a position to win it all this year which was my point in case it flew over your head. Right now Clark's performance is sub par.
Don't overrate kids until they start performing. He's played all but one game and still doesn't have a rising star nom which shows he isnt even in the same class as at least 12 other kids.

Clark doesn't yet have a complete/finished game but he has the ability to open the opposition up with attack on the ball leading into run and carry. Surely those plays where he's a one man transition are the reason behind his big metres gained.And don't strawman me. I have not overrated him. I simply think that he is performing quite well for an 18 year old kid in his first year, and I think that he may turn out to be a serviceable AFL player.
And he is performing much better than Menegola was at a young age. Don't forget that Menegola failed to get an AFL game at two AFL clubs and was delisted by both before we picked him up. Clark is on track.
And while he may not have a rising star nomination his stats are up there with the rising stars.

It's something that could be gotten out of Menegola plus change, but he's already basically at his ceiling while Clark has a ways to go before reaching his.
No, not a fan, goes missing a lot and is a turnover merchant. Right now would be a liability in our team.Worpel?
I think there’s a few - Walsh, Rankine, Luko, Rozee, and probably both the Kings as well. I reckon they’d all go either one or at least no worse than top 3 this year.
Elijah Taylor is the one I’m really warming to this year. Classiest player I’ve seen so far. Love to pick him up.

Look I maybe wrong, I can't see us getting rid of Scooter... The only thing is that his salary will be cut dramatically. I rate him highly, but at this stage as our side is going good, we still need depth as it only takes a few injurys ( Touchwood ) and we will be screaming for him.... Good teams always have good played playing in there 2s, it what's makes a good and successful team.

We need list spots and he is 29 OOC and not best 22.
I expect he will retire anyway.
We can have both. It doesnt need to be one or the other. Menegola IS a fantastic player and Clark will be one.
I've always liked Sam but I'm honestly not sure who I would drop to bring him back into the team. Better than depth, though.
I would not drop a defender or a forward for him, which makes it very tough. (Thinking of Atkins as a forward)Several players who are currently in it that i can think of. Hes easily best 22 and should be straight back in.

I think its a wells draft... me as a novice looks at the talent and the kids do not look as silky or as ready as previous years..but I suspect their is still talent there. Forget Walsh , Rankine Kings etc... I think Clark would have been a lot earlier this year. So Im not sure this is a fantastic draft to have R1's ..compared to say last year. Wells has missed with R1s before rolling the dice..and id fear thats what he would try to do again. Serong looks neat , Young looks good.. Kemp may be the best in the afl in the end... and I have mentioned the big guys who I like but they are all development types. Worrell looks under what Krueger is for example..he is no auto 2020 pick.I like Walsh and Luko but id have Rankine over either every day of the week. I agree last years draft looks stronger than this years at the top end.
I like Taylor although Serong is one i would be really keen on.
I wonder if they would consider a rookie spot ..supplemented with VFL coaching for Scooter. Keep him up their sleeve? I cant see him being on the main list. Simpson Guthrie Jones have to be handled.. as its stands I think Jones is probably in trouble.
Smith and henderson probably are also on the highwire ... and we will probably loose someone we dont see atm.

Do you drop Clark or Parfitt? There aren't many options imo.
Could we see Scooter accepting a similar deal to what Troy accepted when he moved to Geelong:
- VFL contract and a coaching role within the VFL team, so he can provide added mentorship on the field (probably similar to what he's doing now anyway)
I know Troy was captain of our VFL side, but not sure if that's something Scooter would want that
