Matthew Clarke

so matt clarke is gone, hopefully we dont get hardwicked by Blair, as he ( Matt ) is now doing Blairs job at West coast

If Blair goes after Clarke is gone, we are starting from square 1, all the ip we have acquired in our last 3 flags will be at other clubs

Serious
That doesnt really matter anymore it will be nigh on 5 years ago, and most of our players are gone or finishing up.

The Key is to replace them with quality, thats the bloody hard part.

Tigers are passe and old news now if not irrelevant its all about the Flag pies, theyll be the ones to get raided next.
 
I think it's good for both parties. It's an opportunity for some fresh ideas. He only had two top twenty picks in his seven years but his only drafted players locked in the best 22 are Balta, Baker, Pickett and Gibcus.
 
Extremely important we get the next recruiting manager position right considering we’ll probably be towards the bottom end of the ladder for the next few years and will have top end picks including multiple first round picks this year

Clarke is gone

No more midgets
No more project players with 1st rounders
No more midfielders that don't win there own ball.
About time his list management since 2017 has been absymal.
The 2017 draft has put us in the position we are in today.
Instead of having 2 or 3 quality kids coming through, we have Balta who is a headless chook.
we missed Allen, Daniels, Dekong, Taylor, Ramankas .

See ya:banana:clap2
 
Are balta and baker (rookie) the only 2 premiership players drafted since Clarke was in top job? (And Pickett, but bit more unusual).

You watch him pick up Mitch Schofield in the MSD after lumping us with Lefau. Surely he shouldn't have control of that decision with the prospect of heading West?

Hopefully he doesn't poach the WA scout that has picked a few gems. Forgot his name.
