I met Richard Taylor a couple of times in the 90's, and then again last year. He's sensible, intelligent, and a very nice bloke. An impressive guy.Grew up and lives in  Melbourne. I couldn't tell you much about his own football background,except that he played local junior footy. Has a good football brain, speaks well, and is friendly and approachable.

I think Clarke is a South Australian, but that's all I know.

Both spoke at the last Club 80. very impressive, as I understand it both had been working for us part time up till this year.
Clark is Sth Ausn, looks at SA, WA for us IIRC.

Stuffed if I know why, it wouldn't be because they are over performing that is for sure, I think the only justification for saying it is hard to break into our midfield is because their is simply no alternatives that are up to AFL standard.
