Young Blood

Evans was held back mainly by injury. I agree his work rate was great! I think very very highly of Bail. I think his ability to run and break through the stoppages makes him a possible go to running midfielder. He is physically very solid and quick. Maybe just needs to improve his ball use.

if he wants 11 and knows who is suggesting it and has worn it I reckon he should have it. Inevitably yes 'who cares'. But he's got that great running and decision making that jimmy had so I reckon it would be a good fit. If he does get it he should wear a cap for a game to dedicate to Jimmy.

I agree Martin rotating with Jamar. Rest both on the bench. Have them both concentrate on what they do best. Definately not having to worry about tagging a key forward or anything. Maybe drift forward to relieve Clarke and or if he or watts is injured.

Although he did play injured he was still able to think through situations and will occasionally out think his opponents. He is too clever around goals to push further up the ground. Leave that to Watts and Clarke. I think the forward structures will have a lot of options next year. Leigh will have his hands full. Only a good thing I reckon.

I agree with the master. I think it has been highlighted, but Neeld's pursuit of Clarke should and has been awarded with a good strong tall to add to our lineup next year. The thing I like most about Clarke is unlike the thicker, bigger forward types (e.g. Dawes) he has pace and flexibility and can move to play in different positions around the ground if he is not finding the ball or having a bad day down forward. He uses the ball well and is clever much like Watts. He will allow Jack to move up the ground and get involved in the play which is where I think he is most effective (then drifts back every now and then). To have two of these sorts of tall running marking options makes me really excited about next year. This has probably already been said but I mainly wanted to sign up just to say WELCOME MITCH CLARK!
