It's an interesting one.
On one hand he's 33 years of age and will give us nothing around the ground. It's a very short term fix.
On the other he's as good a tap ruckman going around in the league. If Gardiner goes down and the plan is to play Kosi at CHB that would leave us with two ruckman with 10 games between them. Or Jason Blake but he shouldn't count when we are talking about ruckman.
You can understand the clubs thinking but I'm not convinced it's in our best interest.

I think they should put Brooks in for at least 10 games and see what he can do when he knows he's a certain starter.

So this is what a mods board would like like.
Must be a question mark on Clarke's commitment. Who's to say he won't change his mind again in 2 months?

A perfect fit at St. Kilda for 1 year.
He is quality & you guys will & should finish top 4.
If you can keep him fresh for September, he may just do a Clarke Keating.
I dont think anyone would doubt his rucking ability.
I would be wrapt if I was a Saint supporter & you got him as a free hit in the PSD.

Matthew Clarke just had an interview on 5aa over here and said he has been approached by a couple of clubs in Melbourne. He said he is indecided whether to nominate for the PSD but is training with Glenelg Football club where he is aligned to in the SANFL. He didnt really sound as if he was going to nominate in the PSD but we will all know by next Friday.
