Magnificent stand in captain, is in the best form of his life and is the general of our fab 4 backline at the moment. If he was not the best backman in the league at the start of this year, he is now.

Fan Files: Player Profile: by Johnson#26
 
2005:
Clement was very good all the way through the season, never giving away an inch to his opponents. The rugged defender broke his jaw in the clash against his old side in round 19, continued to play out the rest of the year. At the season’s end, Clement was rewarded for his persistence and consistency with All-Australian recognition and the 2004 Copeland Trophy.

2004:
A sturdy defender from Fremantle, Clement came to Collingwood along with Brodie Holland at the end of 2000. Clement spent his four seasons at Fremantle between half forward and half back.
Clement even scored five goals against Essendon in round four 1998 at Waverley Park. In his first season at Collingwood, Clement did all that he was asked to do as a defender and acted as the general across halfback. 2002 was Clement’s best season to date, as he helped the Pies on their way to the Grand Final.
Clement was a rock at halfback all season and was rewarded with selection in the Australian squad that defeated Ireland at Croke Park.
2003 did not reach the dizzy heights of 2002 but Clement continued to play consistent football. He became a recognised leader at the club, and helped the younger defenders develop.
2004 was a bad year for Collingwood but for Clement, it was one of his best yet. He was again a leader across halfback and by midseason, he was being touted as possible All-Australian selection.
