“It (his form) doesn’t surprise me, to be honest,” Rich said on SEN Breakfast.
“He’s one of those guys who always trains so well and does some stuff at training that you think, ‘Wow, he’s got some real class’.
“We joke around and call him the Rolls Royce. That’s the way he plays, he’s just so smooth and clean with the footy.
“He’s had a fantastic month in particular.”
Yeah, I taught this kid everything he knows! 🤥 #rollsroyce pic.twitter.com/OPiFbNUHqH

Does McCluggage ever refer to himself as the Rolls Royce?
“He’s the kind of guy that hates it,” Rich added.
“He hates it when you talk about him like that, the country boy. He definitely tries to play it down.”
McCluggage, 23, continues to get better and better as each year passes by.
The wingman has made the All-Australian squad of 40 in consecutive seasons and will be knocking on the door for a maiden blazer in 2021.
