    Any space for Hunter and Macrae in that list of yours GD?
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

      That's the thing with that list. There is always someone on the edges willing to dive in.
      Hunter and MaCrae are more outside players but are surprisingly tough inside. They don't look as hard as they really are.

      I thought Clay smith was outstanding tonight. I am incredibly proud of him. Will be really important with Libba on ice for a bit.

        Clay needs to teach some of our other players how to tackle well. His never say die attitude is just inspiring.

          His tackling is off the chart.

          I said in the Three things thread that he could code swap to rugby. I was dead serious. His tackling technique is perfect for rugby. Gets down low and really drives through. Plus he's composed, smart and can make snap decisions in traffic.

          He'd make a great five eighth or centre.

            He has a neck though, that's the only thing against him. His attack and grip is great, I think only Dusty got out of his tackles tonight and he did that to every player virtually. With Libba likely to miss some time, I'm looking forward to him in the engine room.

            Ranked on AFL Fantasy Points as equal 5th best on ground in his second game back. Not bad Clay. Not bad.

              It looks as if he's done a serious amount of work on his kicking action these past few years. Whilst it's still not pretty, it's looking more compact and controlled, and some of his kicks thus far have cut through the air nicely.

                The tackle in the last quarter was a beauty. I forget who the target was but he felt every bit of Clays intent.

                  Alex Rance, got him in the sweet spot.

                    Was standing near this - he read the play from about 10 metres away and sprant to Rance before he took possession.

                    It was beautiful to watch

                      I just enjoyed any post that uses the term "sprant"

                      That was a great tackle though, we were all chuckling about how Clay will absolutely destroy an opponent one day. That was by itself one fo the better tackles anyone has laid this year.

                        Nah Rance was in the 2nd, the big one in the last was on Astbury - nailed him. Astbury looked up as if to say who or what the hell was that!
                        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                          Noticed this as well. His kicking technique actually looked......normal. It's enable him to get some pretty good penetration on them as well. Low and quick.....and spinning properly.
                          I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                            Yes it was.. If he is causing that amount of damage to the big guys I can't wait until he lines up a little bloke.. When do we play Norf again? I'm happy to paint a 'X' on Lindsay Thomas's rib cage.

                              For a forward line short on movement, Clay has played the pest we sorely need very well. He will be big in September
