Confirmed Trade: Mitch Clarke to MELBOURNE for Pick 12.

[Hank93]

Melbourne FC have confirmed it at 11:08pm. WowWee! So much for "Freo or Pre Season Draft".

 

[Prem87]

Lol did Clark agree to it?? Big win for Melbourne if true.

 

[Higgs Boson]

Big play by the Dees. Great result

 

[Rod Stroker]

I don't get it. I thought he wanted to get home in WA? Or he just really wanted out of Brisbane?

FWIW, I don't rate him as highly as others and don't reckon he's worth pick 12 in a weak draft where the upper picks are going to be more valuable than normal.

It's all relative.

For a side without a big forward, he is worth pick 12.

 

[Ravenous Crow]

Wow, the big shock of trade week.

 

[The Bomb]

awesome news for the Bombers.

 

[exile]

Wonder how long he'll last there before he wants to go home again.

 

[beez]

4 year deal, let's hope he's worth it.

 

[TheLastEmperor]

great result melbourne...suck it lyon (ross).

 

[raffrox]

So the guy releases a press release from the Dockers website one day, signs with Melbourne the next.

Not sour grapes but maybe he just wasn't the right fit for us if thats the case.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

WOAH massive

 

[krayfesh]

Now that's news.

Love it.

hit the nail on the head there. lazy,unaccountable, self absorbed & he will be telling neeld where he is playing. more trouble than what he's worth.

 

[tazzietiger]

I wonder what changed his mind.
The money or desperation just to get out of lions and could see Freo wasn't going to get a deal done.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Sauce?

 

[BACCS]

Who said the weekend during TW was going to be boring? Shit has gone down today!! That press release from Freo and Clark yesterday is looking mighty odd now..

 

[Rod Stroker]

"We always said to Fremantle that we want their first pick (No.16) and preferably something in addition to it," Kerr said.

"They started with their end of first-round compensation pick, then they moved to pick 20 and now to pick 16"

So Freo eventually offered the pick 16 that Brisbane wanted but they still wouldn't send him there. No wonder he wanted out.

[Little Jerry]

awesome news for the Bombers.

How so?

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Now let's get the rest of trade week happening.

 

[BACCS]

Sauce?

Melbourne site I would assume, their twitter account already has confirmed it.

 

[HurleyTheFuture]

This was unexpected :O

 

[Bennett.]

really homesick huh?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

YAY SOMETHING UNEXPECTED HAPPENED!

I still don't quite believe it. How did Melbourne break this story before Bigfooty did?

 

[Chris25]

Good news for all three clubs. Brisbane got the pick they were after, Melbourne got their player and Fremantle have two first round picks.

Don't think the posters from any of the three clubs will be unhappy with this one.
