i dont think he played any? he got injured during pre season.

He could become this year's Warnock then

He could. Although he has proven he can play AFL before :P.

If he moves clubs or if Clark moves, he's on my radar. If neither happen, doubt he'll get a gig at the lions next year unless Clark moves forward. I doubt that after his great move into the rucks last year.

Clark looks likely to move here to WA most probably to freo

Yea but Contracted so Lions unlikely to agree to a trade... If Charman moves then I'll look at him if he stays and Clark leaves he'll be a lock.

Well now that the AFL has introduced a sub instead of a interchange player I see a lot of clubs using this position for their backup ruck and the St Kilda gameplan (1 ruck with a FF/CHB as backup) being introduced across the board. This may force a rethink of bargain ruck as if clubs choose this route then the gameplan is shot.

On the other hand, clubs may choose to use a young player in this slot to see if they can make it.

yep nick u may find rukmen like hale,clark who are versatile may b a sub

Hale at Hawthorn has locked him in for me. No competition really, will play every game with this new rule and has the potential to score well.

3 to go now

Petrie is another in consideration for me. GC having the bye first up is an interesting consideration but I think most will be able to handle it
