Clark could argueably have been the most improved player in the comp in 2009.
Is he clearly the No1 ruckman at Brisbane now?
Where do Charman and Luenburger fit in now?
Will their return affect Clark's fantasy numbers?
How will the other 2 go fantasy wise?

IMO yes, how could it not? Another ruckmen means less gametime - unless Clark just goes forward for a rest? Will be interesting to see where he plays in Nab Cup. But I would imagine he'd still be there #1 ruck...

Dont think im crazy, Luenburger will either not play often, or maybe switch to CHB like alot of ruckmen? But i doubt it because they have patfull,merrett etc.
With Brown and Bradshaw, up foward i dont think clark or charman will move there? maybe they will play like st.kilda with king and gardiner giving them equal time in the ruck.

I think with Charman coming back next season it will mean maybe Clarke can move forward also with Brown, Fevola and Clarke as the big targets in the potent Lions forward structure. Teams will have their hands full trying to combat that forward line. That means Charman and Luenburger will do most of the ruck work with Clarke also having a stint in the ruck.

Bradshaw most likely go to Sydney, and Carlton is still keen on him as I feel he wants to move back to Victoria he would have maybe 2 years left if injuries don't take its toll on him and finish him off.
He has been a GREAT player for the Lions over many seasons a key to there flag and all the wins they generated over the past decade.

Leunberger has been Rucking well lately whilst Clark has performed poorly.

Clark had a bit of a setback early on this season, was quite ill for a couple of weeks. One could argue that the return of Leuenberger was a cause of that but he did return a good score last week (96 I think) with both him and Leuey playing (and also against one of the 'in form' rucks this season in Jamar).

I've got Clark and I havent thought once of getting rid of him.. OK, I lie, I did think about it but the whole sideways trade thing...not worth it. Am confident he wil continue to improve.

Leunberger finally living up to potential but at least he didn't get brisbane over the line against freo 2nite tho.

Charmo's contract is up at the end of next year (I'm led to believe), and at the rate he's going injury-wise I can't see it being renewed.

Will play a minor role next season.

Think they should stick with the berger and Clark. Charman should be traded.

Justin Bieber

Reckon thats what's going to happen. He's no longer needed so why not cut him?

Hawks might be tempted with him?

The Burger is playing much better than Clarke at the moment. I might look at the burger next year for SC, price obviosuly must be suitable.
