Pics 39, 40 and 56 are interesting. The first 2 are Clark at DH with one being an obvious plan to jump out of DH and the second an obvious pass to 1st receiver.
There is no deception in what he is about to do.
Then look at pic 56 (Walker) you can't tell if he is going to pass straight from the floor to first receiver or pick it up and change direction to his right.
I love Clark but I feel like he has not developed the small intricacies of DH Play to make him a truly great DH. Roby has kept learning which has made a very good play a true great. I am not convinced Clark has learnt the extra tools which is disappointing when you consider the ex No 9's that have been on the coaching staff.
I've noticed more often than not, that as a rule of thumb, Clark tells you what hes going to do with his feet. If his foot sticks out, he passes it off the floor in the direction of the foot. If he's stood behind the ruck and his feet are square he's off.
I think he does a great job and maybe we are being overly critical, but i'd like to see him tying the markers up before he hits 1st recievier, escpeially when we're getting up field and our forwards are running in behind the markers. Clark taking that little step out and forward before passing the ball on takes an enormous ammount of work off whoever is taking the ball in.
