    I haven't seen enough of him to determine whether he's elite clever mate.

    Spending so much time on a forward flank is definitely another reason his disposal numbers are down. With Dale in and our clearance work being pretty average lately, I'm hoping it means he'll spend more time in the guts.

    He's elite clever at using his pace to his advantage.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    I'm so glad somebody has written this. Over 2017, Libba is currently our #1 player for clearances, contested possessions and tackles - 3 of the most crucial stat categories. If he is injured/out of form/in need of a rest, I'm not sure what that says about the rest of the team.

    We'll see whether he can do it at the level. If he's both quick and elite with getting away from people and finding space then he should be fine. Let's see if we leave him to it, or turn him into another inside player.

    Lynch is so outside he needs to buy a GA ticket every time he gets the ball.
    If he develops a harder edge he'll be good for us (JJ-like pace and straight line ball use) but I'm not sold that he is AFL ready just yet.

    Well done Clay. Few have overcome as much as him to get to 50. Let's hope there are many more games and another flag or 2 yet to come.

    Clay is one of those players who are difficult to watch without fearing for their personal safety. That, for me, puts him in the elite company of Dale Morris, Matty Boyd and (recently) Daniel Cross.

    That says a lot.

    Congratulations Clay on a well earned 50 games, the Bulldogs are a better team when you are playing well.

    I like this week's changes. Two blokes coming in who are bringing in great form.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Great effort on making 50 games but I thought Clay looked very slow tonight and he went to ground to quickly. Not one of his better games.
