Doesn't Clarkson rate 'skills' in a player very highly?
Beating a player in the air is good, but is that enough for Clarkson?
If Mirra just hasn't got all the skills that Clarkson wants from a player, then I don't give Mirra much hope of returning to AFL again.
But, Clarkson would have known Mirra's skills before he played AFL, and must have thought they were good enough?
But, displaying one's skills at AFL level would be a lot harder then in the VFL.
Mirra is one player I am considering to trade out this weekend, running out of time to make a decision
All this info is good to sleep on!
