What are your expectations for Clever in 2008 and what would be a good year for him?

Would want to get a game before Schultz and at least plays 16-18 games.
Would want to kick 35-45 goals for the year. High expectations but as a club if we want to go anywhere, this needs to happen.

I would think he needs to show more desperation on the field, this means improve the defensive side to his game.

Would expect him to play somewhere between 15-18 games with some appearances down in the back half.

He needs to train well enough to get a game in the seniors round 1, and keep his spot for the whole season.

35-40 goals if playing as a forward.

Cleve needs to cement a spot in the side first before we can expect 35-45 goals from him  :o. Remember he finished the year in the Coburg ressies. He shouldn't be dropped either after one bad game when it follows 2 lots of 3 goals.

I think he'll struggle to break into the senior side and may well find himself traded back to Adelaide at seasons end.
Despite some talent I don't think he wants it enough.

Yep like a number of Tigers he needs to work harder off the ball and for the ball and to find a nastier streak. We're too "nice" and not hungry enough.
