Tom Clurey has signed a new 2 year deal, tying him to Alberton until the end of 2019.

I like this signing. Cluzza has had an absolute ripping season thus far and at 23 yo, will likely hold down the FB post for the next decade.

YOUNG key defender Tom Clurey will remain at Alberton until at least the end of the 2019 season after agreeing to terms on a new contract.

General Manager of Football Chris Davies says the two-year deal is a just reward for 23-year-old Clurey.

“Tom has made himself an important pillar of the club’s defence over the past year,” Davies said.

“He regularly gets the job on the opposition’s biggest forward and has performed really well this season.”

Clurey was taken at pick 29 in the 2012 National Draft. He’s played 32 AFL games including 18 consecutively since earning a spot back in the side in Round 15, 2016.

Hombsch in for Neade or Hartlett will just about make we want to spew. We need goal kickers Ken! We're not pumping up tyres at the servo, pressure only gets you so far.

A forward line of:

R.Gray - Trengove - Neade
S.Gray - Dixon - Impey

Has 4 players who average less than a goal a game and a tall forward who has taken 1 more mark inside 50 in the AFL than me in two months. The opposition know this and then focus on the two forwards that can actually kick a goal. Time to put results ahead of dogma for the love of god!

To quote a poster from another site. The way Port are being played is like driving a Lamborghini with the hand brake on.

Just think, Port could have this forward line, and have almost no detrimental effect on other areas of the ground:

R.Gray - Eddy* - Monfries
Wingard - Dixon - Impey

* or Westhoff

My favourite one was Robby Gray on Astbury *and* Rance in the goal square.

Interesting swap? Or is there someone who was forward that can take Broadbents spot?
