Cleve had to be cut as he was languishing in the VFL ressies and no longer was showing any heart. However early on he was poorly treated at the selection table by Plough IMO. You don't drop young key forwards when they kick 3 goals two weeks in a row and then have a poor game. You need to persist to build up confidence especially when we were meant to be rebuilding.

Folks complain about Sarge and rightly so as he's sleepy but he ain't a pussy.

Cleve is quite simply about as soft a player as I have ever seen pull on a jumper MT. There is barely a physical bone in his body. Pretty important ingredient in a KPF.

Plenty of players in football have been dropped after a bad game, however the ones that are going to make it take it on the chin, show character and bounce back. Cleve showed none of that.

Hughes very rarely game a whimper when he was dropped. He didn't take any of the glimpse of form he showed last season at Richmond back to Coburg with him, he just whimped it and expected the recall. I am glad he never received the charity of playing again in the Y&B.

Silver spoon softie. His AFL 5 minutes is over thankfully. Next.

Of course not Bents. Not sure how you got that from "issues after Polak's accident"  ???. Cleve was with Polak when he was hit by the tram remember. Witnessing what happened apparently and not surprising affected Cleve.

We can't discuss or even allude to that other "topic" either in any form as we all know as it puts OER at legal risk so I've had to edit the above two posts.

Must be the money MT.

Cleve did say at the end of the season that he wasnt going to play footy at all next year.

Money talks......

He will tear it up in the 1's at that level Jack.  Only thing that will stop him is if he succumbs to the GC temptations and at his age that's a real strong possibility.  I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has got the new GC club in his sights.

The standard mustn't be too bad. Brisbanes seconds were a middle of the road side this year i think?

The top few sides are decent al but it drops away sharply.  He is the sort of player that will shine at the reduced level of pressure.  Probably why he chose Southport - high profile club up here that will spend what it takes and gives him a leg up to GC the following year.  Nathan Ablett was the first and I'll bet not the last.
