He's just from the country, people from down south especially have pretty broad accents.

From 'Nine things we learnt this week.."
2) Jordan Clark is in All-Australian form
With speed, a calm head and an excellent kick, Walyalup backman Jordan Clark has become an elite talent who should be in All-Australian consideration after 11 games. The former Geelong speedster has taken his game to a new level after a standout summer and is a major weapon for the Dockers off half-back. He was the team's best player in a thrilling draw against Collingwood, finishing with a game-high 10 intercepts from his career-best 35 disposals and using the ball at 80 per cent efficiency. When Clark gets the ball and runs, the Dockers look better. Sydney knew it two games ago when they sent James Jordon to tag him. The 23-year-old's excellent and consistent form this season stacks up with the best half-backs and, if it continues, he should be in the discussion for a maiden All-Australian blazer. – Nathan Schmook
It must be said, Jordan can actually defend and win a contest, unlike a lot of the rebounding 'defenders' nowadays
Jordy has learnt so much from Luke Ryan.. a great mentor

what did we get him for again, because he's just been an absolutely f***in' brill pick up. Pick 22 and some pick swaps, not entirely sure what the points basically added up to. Just feels like astoundingly good business....we've come a long way since the Hogan debacle days......I hope he gets that blazer, be thoroughly deserved.
But I hope he gets a flag more
I think the best value about Jordan Clark was his desire to play for Freowhat did we get him for again, because he's just been an absolutely f***in' brill pick up.

Just feels like astoundingly good business....we've come a long way since the Hogan debacle days......I hope he gets that blazer, be thoroughly deserved.

We paid 1x 2nd rounder and 2x 3rd rounders.
Initially we had pick 27 (2nd round). We traded a 3rd rounder to move from 27 to 22.
Then we acquired pick 19 from Gold Coast when we got Wil Brodie.
Geelong asked us for 19, but instead we held fast on using 19, and offered 22.
We sweetened the deal in the final hour to get it over the line with a future 3rd.

Will Brodie feels a bit like a forgotten man in all of the recent times, that was also a crazy good deal that set us up nicely in 2022. Hope Will can find form like that at AFL level again, hard for him when Fyfe came good earlier doors....

Clark is definitely on the leaner side (obviously with his pace) but for a guy with a slighter frame he seems to have quite a lot of strength to him, seems to be able to fend up and push through guys fairly easily, loved him so far this season, but he's pretty much been good for us ever since he came over in the first place.
That celebration after the goal! He seems happier then ever and along with Treacy has just gone to another level.
He's got to be my pick for the Doig along with Alex Pearce.

+ Mr & Mrs Serong’s runt of the litter.
Coach when asked thought it was corky. Jordan seemed more annoyed than anything that he copped his whack in the dying seconds. Whilst I didn’t see him handing out high fives or footies to the crowd. He was standing up in the song in the rooms afterwards and then walked around unaided after the song.

every reason to. He is just exceptionalAs his buddy, I feel the need to gloat a little
How good has he been for us.
It does make me think back to when we were squabbling over picks with Geelong. We gave up pick 22 and a lot of people thought it should have been a later pick since Geelong weren’t playing him. Turns out we did the right thing and got the guy we wanted, it doesn’t matter who ‘won’ the trade during trade period, the list is more important in long run and bringing in a genuine talent. And turns out Geelong were right to be stubborn since they knew he was worth it, and we were also right for ‘overpaying’ and bringing him home.
Also he’s Freo through and through and his celebration was my favourite part of the weekend

It's because he's aggressive and battles hard and gives a ****.
Do find it interesting that Geelong fans are convinced that he had an attitude problem that meant he was never going to play well there, and so it doesn't really matter that they traded him.
What is this attitude problem because from all reports he's been great from the moment he stepped through the door, and basically everyone who was asked about him in the off season said he was a standout on track.

He's a hothead without much of a filter. That's it. Wears his heart on his sleeve, and lets it known when he's frustrated or feels like he's copping the raw end.
Works hard, plays hard, leaves it all on the field.
Probably a bit of a shit-stirrer and likes to poke the bear as well, which is why he suits the poddy.
But will back his mates up, bleed for them on field.
(Well, that's my take).
