If he plays 150 games in a side that plays finals, he's a good pick. I think Clark can do that. Could he be in the centre square when the heat is on in a final in three years? Absolutely. That's Hollywood enough for me.

The question will be will Cats be playing finals in 3 years time when all their pensioners are retired
10/11 players from their 2022 team will be retired by 2025
You don’t see many changing up on ‘competitiveness’.
Don’t think we will take him.
I keep checking the website to see if we accidentally publish our 1st pick early, but nothing.
I reckon Jarryd Lyons, the Brisbane version, that's no disrespect either, nothing flashy just a solid 25 touches, 6 clearances, 50% contested possessions. Kicking lacks penetration but I could reel off plenty in that boat - Miller/Libba/Dunkley/Parker/Mitchell etc.
I wouldn't say Power because he had a very powerful hoof, short arms but could easily kick 50 metres. Clark has also met every challenge, against all opposition. He was the second best player behind Wardlaw against Collingwood, in game which disappointed on quite a few levels he was one who didn't lower his colours.
Probably because he lacks a bit of creativity, he's very much a dour Talia type defender, gets the job done but lacks a bit of play-making ability. Now if I'm looking for a cheap defender I'd probably go with Ethan Phillips who has demonstrated a canny knack of reading the flight and clunking quite a few intercept marks, I think Phillips goes late second or early third. That would push Van Es out to the mid or late third round.
You can only kick the can down the road so long
Their core has remained the same for years that have allowed them to stay at the top
Guthrie,Hawkins,Dangerfield,Smith,Menegola,Duncan etc they wont be able to replace easily and will lose the synergy similar to the Hawks did 6 years ago
Meh. People said the same about the Scarlett, Johnson, Chapman, Ablett, Bartel era coming to an end too.
They turn up and remain competitive every year. No matter what. The 30 years worth of doomsday predictions (figuratively speaking) never eventuate.
Best to wait till it ACTUALLY happens than make it 31 years of failed prediction.
Well my thoughts are they have 2 more years as a top 4 threat and will fall off
we shall see
The new model of list management shows they can change and keep up. They just added some serious young talent and the trade table and have pick 7 coming in. This offseason was a big step forward.
Nah, its best to get some joy in the off-season by writing them off. Kinda like how Bombers fans get some joy by imaging they might win a final.
They joy is short but better than nothing.
That would be highly amusing if they scan to our table and there's poker caps, cigars, and chips spread across the table.
I want our table looking uninterested and laughing at every pick made " ASHCROFT? Pfft, Good one Brissy Losers"
We should just send Dustin Martin , Shai Bolton , Tim Taranto , Jacob Hopper , Dion Prestia to the draft tonight just for the sh!ts & Gig's
