Clurey is fit/ agile enough to play a general midfield/tagger/ the Hoff type role. We think we have all these options because literally no one is injured at the moment. That wont be the case forever and we will need versatile players like Clurey that can fill a variety of roles if required. With Westhoff nearing the end anyway that is an extra spot for one of those guys (or Marshall). The biggest problem we have had every year for the past 3 years is threadbare KPD's with injury/suspension and I don't want to go back to that any time soon.
I could be wrong on this, but wasn't Cluzza tried as a big bodied mid for the Maggies last season, or the season before, with only moderate success?
Agreed that we need KPD depth, but I see Austin and Doogs as having more upside than Clurey, not sure if the selectors see it the same way though.
