Clarke would only be a marginal upgrade on Hamspud. No-one would even be considering him if he wasn't a free agent.

The Zac we needed was going for a song last year but like the dumb felines we are, we were too busy being being distracted by Carlton's big fat ball of Yar(ra)n....while the smarter cats pounced....

Clarke is hopeless I'm not sure he'd even be an upgrade. Seen Lobb's name mentioned a bit. The guy looks like a rich mans Tippett there's no chance GWS is letting him go anywhere.

I'd look at Witts if he isn't getting a game at Collingwood.

How's the way Tiges have not only, not targeted decent rucks in the comp, and they've never bothered to draft one either.

How can they be so clueless?

Why we didnt go after him when he wanted to come home I'll never know.

better than his pants i suppose,

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I know he comes out of contract at the end of this year.I was one who suggested we go after him in 2013. An original #8 ND pick in 2011 he cost StKilda picks 25 and 41.

While happy to take him in 2013 im not sure he has developed as one would like since. Imo a Sam Jacobs type ruckman whose ruckwork is very good and he throws his body around when the ball hits the ground. Main concern is  he still is not doing a lot away from ruck contests not consistently anyway. At 23yo  in ruck terms he is still very young.

I Remember he had a 50 h/o 20 odd disposal game laid tackles and took 3 or 4 c/m against Carlton last year, was quite an  impressive performance but he was not up against much that day..
He would still be well worth  taking a punt on but im not sure what i would be prepared to give up to get him.

Jack Hannath was a lad i wanted us to rookie the year  Freo picked him up.I have not really watched much of him since seems he has stagnated a bit. Cant get a game in front of Sandilands Clarke and griffin.

Hickey has really come on whilst Longer hasnt and now cant get a game.  Agree with claw in that he seems to have stagnated but hes still young so may be worth the punt depending on what we'd have to give up for him
