Still believe we should have gone with Chris Bryan - RL obviously didn't agree...

Would love to keep him at the CLub in a coaching capacity..although I have a suspicion he will return home to SA
Was a tap ruckman without peer in his prime and Im sure once he could focus on coaching rather than lookng after his own body as well, would be a real asset to the Club

What a great recruiting move that was for us. Almost as good as Gardiner.
Blake is going to be our number 1 ruckman next season unless we do something, anything.
Ackland may be delisted by the Blues, and many of us were sad to see him go. Let's see if he can lead us to that premiership that we deserve!!!
Raph Clarke will win a brownlow!!!!!

Think he has real potential as a ruck coach.
Outside of that, he was a pick-up best forgotten who provdied pretty average service.

GOP means Good Ordinary Player.
It means that you're good, but don't stand out.
He wasn't good, and didn't stand out. Therefore was not a GOP.

I stand by my opinion that M.Clarke at St Kilda was a GOP,he was meant to be a good player but he turned out to be ordinary..........

Well that was a waste of time. Would have been better to simply ask him to pay us a few visits as a specialist ruck coach. If he wasn't there then Brooks probably would have gotten a fair go in the ruck and we'd at least know what he is capable of.
It really is a shame that we took Clarke instead of (my preference) Tom Collier, who is a 192cm athletic running defender/onballer (Chad Cornes type) and is set to go in the first round this year.

Is Collier an U/18 MSG? Could we have picked him up in last year's pre season draft?
It was a gamble by Lyon that didn't pay any dividends except to get a bloke with great experience to help out the other ruckman.
I now stand by my Darren Jolly comment of this week. If he is coming back to Melbourne he has to be priority #1.

Yep. We could have taken him in the national or pre season draft, but was too young to rookie-list.

It was interesting (and a condemnation) that Kosi said that he has learnt more about rucking from Clarke than from anyone else.
Doesn't say much about Matt Rendell or whoever was teaching him the trade in the past.
But maybe supports prev posters that we should retain him as a specialist coach.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Ditto.
Wasn't our greatest recruit, but I'm sure he gave 100% whenever he played for us.

would u rate the recruitment of Clarke a better or worse one than that of Monkey
in all seriousness, he wore the st.kilda jumper, so i wish him all the best
