What Clarko said about finding players who can play in premierships

[Frank Thring]

So who on the current list fits the bill?

With certainty I'd nominate Cunners and Todd but they're nearing the end.

Out of our younger crop I'd say LDU, Jy, Curtis and Wilphil with some certainty.

Alternatively who do you think we couldnt rely on?

If he used the phrase 'big dance' then I'll get Nobles back.

I could see Mahony providing some Glen Freeborn moments on the last Saturday in September.
Opposition wouldn’t think about matching someone up on him, watch the boy get off the chain

The best part about this is we'll know exactly who Clarko finds in September 2025.

Agree with Todd. He did have offers to play college basketball. If he went down that route and his team was good enough, he would have played in the big dance.

Unaware if we have any other high-end basketballers on the list. Not sure why this is so important to Al but I'm not going to question the great man.

The big dance is not solely a basketball term.

If Harmes can play in a grand final, Simpkin can play in a grand final.

If Murphy can play in a grand final, Corr can play in a grand final.

If Frampton can play in a grand final, Logue can play in a grand final.

If my memory serves me correctly Wayne Harmes went alright in one GF.



Oh you mean the other Harmes

Yep, the hiring of the “Boom Boom Room” where, like Carey v *, it’s you v 5+.

No that's in another 1000 years or so.

That was a slow burn.

If Murphy can play in a grand final, Corr can play in a grand final.

Fair enough.

It is an opinion. These are the ones I think that can definitely do the job.

The rest, I question.

If Sleevo can play in a grand final, Sleevo can play in a grand final.

Obviously we have gaps to fill in our list. KPD, KPF and a crumbing, tackling small forward or 2.

But the Pies have proved that system and coaching is king. McRae has them playing 100% to the strengths of the list.
The bottom 5 or 6 that played today aren't flash, but they all fit the system in one way or another.

Speed and pressure is their foundation, Clarko has to find what will work best for us. It can turn faster than people think, if you have a plan and stick to it.

Pies are a very experienced side as well, think I counted 15 of their 23 today were 27 or older by the end of the year. At this stage we have only 3 confirmed players (Greenwood, Corr, McDonald), for next year in that age bracket. Although a couple more will likely sign on

Murphy is a lot better footballer than you give him credit for, doesn’t get beaten all too often. Was stiff today. When he got concussed I actually thought that was a big loss for the pies.

Murphy is a lot better footballer than you give him credit for, doesn’t get beaten all too often. Was stiff today. When he got concussed I actually thought that was a big loss for the pies.

Was in the top 3 or 4 players on the ground when he went down.

McRae has found a role that suits him perfectly and Murphy is smart enough to carry it out every week.
