Angus Clarke arrived at Essendon at a time when the club should really be in full rebuild mode, which it kind of is even though that's not what the hierarchy is saying. They have given him enough games to know that he can cut it at the level, starting on a wing in his first game then drifting towards a role in defence as the team kept losing soldiers to injury. He can compete at AFL level, that's the first step, but does he have a one wood in his bag that can set him apart to escape the label of a mere roleplayer? Another year in the system might be needed to uncover his full range of talents.
