2013 Player Profiles: Clinton Young

[Cicjose]

2011 average: 66
2012 average: 81



coming off his best season since the 2008 premiership year, Clinton is an integral part of Hawthorn's uncontested marking style of play.

He was ranked in the top 10 for uncontested possessions, kicks, frees for, tackles, rebounding and running bounces despite missing 4 games through injury

his biggest issue to date is his durability having never played a full season, if Hawthorn can keep him on the park and he plays every game expect him to improve on his seemingly modest Dream Team output.

IMO still the best kick in the competition, his greatest hurdle in producing better numbers in DT is getting over his injury concerns

my expected average = 90

[Adamant]

Good write-up. He's had a very consistent year...but cant have a guy averaging 80-90 in the mids....unless they are seriously underpriced (Embley, Ball, etc)

[Cicjose]

i think he can get 100's but he would have to turn into a half back flanker or get some more contested footy for that to happen

The contested side to his games has really improved during 2011 and 2012.

[Windigo]

+1 haha

[Torpedo10]

Out of mine for sure!

[henry]

He no longer really rebounds off a half back flank and instead plays pretty permanently on a wing, so no chance of getting dpp. As a hawks fan I love him as a player, will not feature in my team though.

[elephants]

Could be interesting as a backmen but no thanks as a midfielder...

Hawks currently locked in a battle with the Pies, Port, Lions and Bombers to keep him on their list. I dont think he is DT relavent though

[Shihan7]

Good player, but not DT relevant.
