Why would Clarke go out?[/quote] Just feel like all the fringe players have had a go, Polo, Farren, Clarke....when I listened to Scott in the presser after the Crows game, he didn't sound that positive about Raph to me. Reckon if it's between all of them for the last spot, Farren will probably get t...
