Excited for Clay 
He really disappointed me last year. Was hesitant, showed poor aggression (despite this apparently being a strength) and disposal was shocking. Hopefully he can crack in tomorrow in a wet game and justify the hype.

Agreed he looked way off it to me considering he was supposed to be more afl ready than some. Having said that he was stuck on the wing cause Simmo and he's clearly not a winger. Hopefully he gets to play some time inside tomorrow so we can see how he goes in a more natural role.

Wasn’t empowered by Simmo to be first in and throw himself at the contest, so spent too much tippy toeing around it + got shoved to the wing. I think he’s going to come good for us. Looked a nice player in his U18 year
In the minority but I didn't mind what I saw last year. Looked faster than I expected, I thought went when it was his turn and was able to win a contest
Played 3 games, one as sub on and another sub off, and one full game in the belting in Geelong so incredibly hard to judge on any of that
Thinking he'll likely be sub again tomorrow

Has to play in the guts though.
The hilarity late last year when he played on the wing in the WAFL when we could have not done the trade and just taken Freijah.

Another layer of hilarity when you factor in that Freijah is now getting CBAs for the dogs.
Hopefully Clay has a Clayton Oliver / Paddy Cripps type second year, as it was basically Freijah+Boxshall for Clay. Not his fault, but pretty underwhelming so far.
Hmmmm I completely missed his inclusion into the side. [emoji[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]][emoji640]]

Good to see him given an opportunity, play him in the guts.
Freijah is another Sonsie etc where they had great underage years, pulled the I dont want to leave Victoria card, had down senior draft years and slid. It is what it is.
Clay is an inside mid. An extrator, at worst he is a very good defensive mid. He was the only mid in his draft class who could physically match Harley in a game. The issue is, to be the head over the ball inside mid he is still a couple of preseasons away strength wise. He's not quite as strong as Harley and Hewett whilst not being able to lift as much is stronger through the core (which is why Clay was so pissed when he lost the wrestle)
His kicking is very hit and miss, particularly his short to mid range kicking. He is however hard as a cats head, has the right attitude, comes from a great upbringing and knows the work required. He's 2028 round 1 centeman imo. He will likely play quite a few games beforehand but that is when he's ready to be the in and under mid the club needs.
Also his dad is a top bloke who's great to have a beer with.
Don't agree , Clay has potential .....last season playing with a bad hand injury that needed surgery early last season.
Gross might be good ...swings and roundabouts in drafting.

Appreciate the insight; except the excerpt about his dad being a good bloke is irrelevant as we shouldn't have 'I like having a drink with their dad' as a recruitment KPI.
I agree that Clay is going to be a good inside mid in time, and with our current stock of young wings - with Banfield also coming too, he was the more important acquisition.
Wasn't aware of Feijah's mummysyndrome.
Like he’s not going to be sub today and then be played out of position for 15 minutes when he comes on

Hopefully not. Petch is probably more of an impact player, while he'll need time to work himself into the game.

He's a late in for Graham.
You are correct

Yes you can. You can't carry more than one or two, but you can.

Deleted it as I shouldn't be focusing on the negatives after such a quarter.
Like his contested game.

Been very impressed this first half. Showing glimpses of what he’ll be in a few years.
