Unofficial Preview Round 7, 2020: Sydney Swans v Gold Coast Suns - SCG

[Dubai Quacker]

he could be the runner then or the drinks person

There you go - upside! He can play a few seasons & then run the drinks when Stewey Maxfield calls it a day

 

[TheMase]

What do you think we will get for florent at years end

Jones got us pick 32

Why would we trade Florent?

 

[Punts]

Why would we trade Florent?

That’s the talk

 

[caesar88]

A bit harsh I reckon.

He runs hard & can tag reasonably effectively.

And at 23, there’s still a bit of upside.

There's no upside.

He doesn't know how to hand-ball a footy.

He doesn't know how to kick a footy.

He doesn't know where his team-mates are.

He doesn't know where his opponents are.

It's goodnight Irene for Clarke.

 

[TheMase]

That’s the talk

That’s insane.

Extended his contract less than a year ago.

Perhaps the whole covid thing will make a few cry for home... I hope not... can’t see why the club would want to trade him however.

 

[The King!]

Jones got us pick 32

Moore and a pick?

 

[Punts]

Moore and a pick?

Not sure he would get a game at the pies

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Not sure he would get a game at the pies

We’d get a mid-career fringe player.

Like we always do.

 

[The King!]

Not sure he would get a game at the pies

Let’s not break Caesar’s heart in here

 

[The King!]

There's no upside.

He doesn't know how to hand-ball a footy.

He doesn't know how to kick a footy.

He doesn't know where his team-mates are.

He doesn't know where his opponents are.

It's goodnight Irene for Clarke.

Thanks a ******* lot now this is stuck in my head (I know it’s a different name)

 

[caesar88]

Thanks a ******* lot now this is stuck in my head (I know it’s a different name)

Gonna return serve and say **** you for getting that stuck in my head now!

Couldn't just leave it at Irene could ya?

 

[The King!]

I went out to get a drink and was humming it the whole way so all is fair

 

[Olian]

Clarke is an enigma, for all his faults with his disposals he does find the footy. Last weekend he had 23 touches which puts him in the top 3 on the ground. It’s a shame that he can’t improve his disposal efficiency/decision making because he would be a solid player.

He is still 23.

Even if we draft a young midfielder, they are going to have strengths and weaknesses and require a few years of development.

If we drafted someone who could win a lot of contested ball, was a good runner, mature body and good workrate. But had poor disposal. We would try to improve him and give him a chance. But Clarke gets written off before his first game this season.

I hope he continues to get games, improves and does well.

Cause he works *en hard.
He runs where others canter.
But then he has wreck foot .
However Mitchell won a brownlow.. Doing similar

 

[wilsonmatic]

He shits himself under pressure which causes a few errant kicks

 

[caesar88]

Clarke runs but he's slow, can't stick a tackle then turns it over when he gets the ball

So if the ability to run is all it takes to be a footballer then sign me up and half this board probably

 

[BloodySwan]

That’s the talk

Florent can get ****ed if he's asked for a trade. At best we'd get something like pick 10-15 and that's if he continues his form from the Adelaide match. More likely we'd get a pick 20ish

 

[Chaisa]

Florent is still contracted yeah? Wouldn't trade him for anything under a Top 10 pick.

 

[dosser]

Florent can get f’ed if he's asked for a trade. At best we'd get something like pick 10-15 and that's if he continues his form from the Adelaide match. More likely we'd get a pick 20ish

I really want to see how far this one goes now that I know where it started.

From where?

Tom Mitchell won way more of the footy though and in tougher situations. It's not cheap outside ball he's accumulating like Clarke.

Also, his footskills aren't fancy I wouldn't say it's a liability either. And while it's often not damaging there are times where he can use it rather well. Clarke is a liability with the boot.
