Welcome Judson Clarke

Marlion shirking it. Now I've heard everything.
Ducked his head in the air at least twice last nite.

Clark must keep playing, getting to good spots, hasn’t adjusted to the pace yet but shows things. And has real pace, something we lack.

Clarke was more prominent than I’ve seen him before. Earned his spot. He’ll probably get dropped next week so we can bring Broad back, but keep Mansell in the team for that vital role he plays.

I thought Clarke made a few poor sometimes rushed decisions & missed targets he should hit.
For a young under-strength player that has to use his skill to survive he's got to make his possessions count.
A work in progress but might not keep his spot this week.

Agree. I'll give him 1 more game and then back to 2nds if not good enough.

Young player makes mistakes? I’m shocked!

Averaging 14.8 disposals per game this year, up from 8.3 last year. 2nd amongst rising stars for inside 50s per game and stoppage clearances per game. 4th amongst rising stars for clearances per game and bounces per game. Oh, and he doesn’t even turn 20 until October.

I hope we keep playing him.

At one point on the weekend he had the pill on the wing and was assessing slowly, saw nothing he liked ahead and was about to be tackled by Langdon who is quick - he didn't panic and put the jets on and took off like the Road Runner with the Coyote Langdon on his hammer with a stick of dynamite - and even took a bounce. Loved it, he does have wheels.

I agree with someone else, change up a wingman, I think Short needs to stay behind the ball, Clarke to a wing, and maybe Pickett as a back up ruck, or KAmdyn somewhere else - 9 touches last week.

I noticed that play, I'm glad he kicked the ball well when passing it forward.
 
Gee some folks write off young players pretty quick. I remember a few years ago many on here wrote off a bloke called Shane Edwards, he turned out to be pretty handy.

At least let these blokes get to 50/60 games before we write them off.

Reckon he'll be the sub. We don't like using the same sub in multiple games (so should rule out Hugo) and with Juddy being a 2nd year player, he might just not a bit of a recharge coming back in for a few 6 game breaks in between.
