Comes across to me like he doesn't know what to do (initiative) until he's told. Seems like we under-use him. Coaches fault? Probably.

There you go again with the criticism of Clarke. WTF is your beef with the kid?
That’s the MRP influence for you. It’s taken away his natural instinct for the game
Everytime i watch the 2019 grand final i think he was by far and away the best player on the ground and should of got norm smith .But Dusty was awezome to so its all ok
But why has he not been used in centre bounces ever since is the most perplexing move dimma has made
.Imagine Marlioms hardness at clearamces .

I think it was as much about him planning his exit strategy with the ball, just the way he plays. Unfortunately his exit strategy didn't work because he missed the ball. Just the way he plays, because it aint a lack of courage - maybe more smart self preservation.
You know it's hilarious these commentators now I think of it - head, head, head, player welfare etc. Have to look after players - then they highlight this??? What are players going to do all the time if they get highlighted like this??? More chance they will go into situations where they can get hurt. Just a thought
It was a cheeky push, the two had probably been having banter - yes it happens in the footy field -
and Blakey was p1ssing himself laughing -
then again he always looks like that does the Lizard
Just trying to recall Marilon's pre season injury niggle issue, because he did have one.
Was it a groin can someone remember?
He is not jumping and didn't tonight when he needed to and normally would, his kicking had no real penetration and was coasting more than usual.
I wouldn't rule out a groin niggle or that he's carrying something as his game was very un Pickett like tonight and hasn't been at his usual impact all season same as Prestia who I'm also tipping is not right either and still having issues with that pre season Pec injury.

Spot on. Few weak efforts, ridiculous boundary heroics and always seems to miss the best option after trying to be Shaun Burgoyne
Yes we need new blood on the wings Pickett holds his own WTF is Macca doing?
Got involved, but a lot of errors and twice he looked weak under the flight of the ball. He’s done that several times this year.
It’s all fine and well cleaning blokes up at ground level, tackling etc. but as was pointed out during the week, when you’ve gotta go, or take the hit, you’ve gotta take the hit and not duck your head and concede.

He also backed off in the first quarter where he made no attempt to spoil Viney. Definitely second guessing himself. Maybe he can’t afford the MRO fines anymore.
Wingers in today's game need to be great runners bit chop out in back 50 but most importantly they need to clean with inside 50 possessions.
He butcher's more then he hits. He watched Melbourne players take easy marks in back 50. He shouldve put Viney into hospital in the 2nd qtr and it was even worse in the 3rd when he actually watched the Melbourne player take a chest mark.
Badly out of form.
We need 2 new Wingers.
But because we can't draft there's no replacements.

For me nothings changed in his entire AFL career , does all things at all different standards from the sublime to the shizenhouse, been a serial ducker , , I’ll say it again never seen a player like him , bloody unique.
One things for sure , he gets criticism that he bludges , he wouldn’t get the gps miles if he was a bludger , I think at times he may switch off or dosent come ready to play , however I don’t think he ever dosent work hard .
