As a pure ruckman, forgetting everything else, but Matty Clarke was by far the best in my view.
Mitch Clark should've been so much better than what he was. He did have that one exceptional year, somewhere in 09-11 where he was unstoppable. I was asked over Xmas period when talking about him who he was like b/c they didn't know much about him and I sort of said a better version of Rory Lobb, albeit, Clark rucked more. But yep, another in a long line of players who rested on their talent w/o putting in the really hard work to going to the next level, like Jared Brennan.
Re your next post; Rhan Hooper is also up there in waster talents. Was electric and had all the tricks and I dare say discipline and lack of work ethic were probably his inhibitors, but by god did he have the talent in the Cyril Rioli mould (not saying as good, but not too dissimilar player that should have done more.
Damian Cupido in the late 90's was another who should have been an out and out champion of the game but believed his own hype, didnt work hard enough and few even remeber him.
