Yep just found it myself and posted!

Clark's name, and also Wells' name, being dragged through the mud by Sam Edmund, surely should have some form of defamation able to be lodged, right?

This is next level - he's crossed the line

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

So P22 plus a future 3rd which will probably be around P45.
Surely that's a deal if Freo are willing to offer him a 4 year contract?

I would add that that deal is a very easy sell for Bell - " We are delighted to bring Jordan back to his home State , we rate him highly and believe we have cemented a fair deal with Geelong to have his services for the next 4 years"

With Freo's disastrous drafting history this deal stacks up quite well.

 

[moond0g]

So he's refuting the phone call gettign heated, and him hanging up on Wells.

Be he didn't say anything about the other part of the tweet re. making it very clear he wants to leave and he's not coming back. Interesting.

Will depend on how the cards fall draft night. The Brisbane/Robertson drafting has set a precedence. Imagine if a Knevitt is still on the table after night 1 and two or three clubs cant believe it, bidding war overnight on the cards.

Journalists should be held more accountable for what they say in these situations. Always after that click bait shit that just causes these back and forth and see’s their tweet get bounced about.

I would think that Wells would be a true professional and not air his opinion either way but I would also think he will have a dig at all the carry on in an interview sometime after the period closes.

 

[iameviljez]

Nah he has no reason to. Clarks manager is my bet.

Could be anyone from Geelong tbh. The call would not have been a secret between just Wells and Clark.

 

[Kyuss]

I hope so! Ill put my pitchforks away

No, bring them out for Sammy Edmund!!

 

[Drunkcat]

I just want to see him gone he can never be a top footballer he has a sh-t kicking style and his body will never handle footy

 

[sgt5]

When was the last time Geelong went after a player from another club who was still under contract?

 

[moond0g]

When was the last time Geelong went after a player from another club who was still under contract?

Last year.

 

[sgt5]

Last year.

OK - let me qualify that... still under contract and still clearly wanted by their club.

 

[Grimoz]

This whole thing has turned into a cluster ****, just trade the little turkey for 22 and get him out of here, he wont succeed at Freo anyway, he's soft!!!

 

[Shai]

2018 - Clark is drafted, seem to remember him saying he's happy to come to Geelong and wanted to get out of WA.

2019 - Clark put pen to paper on a two year deal earlier this month and Geelong’s General Manager of Football Simon Lloyd sang his praises.

“From the outset, Jordan has demonstrated a thirst to learn and a strong appetite for hard work,” he said after announcing his re-signing.

“He is a highly creative player who constantly challenges himself to improve, and most importantly he loves what he does.”


2021 - After shoulder and elbow injuries he tends to only put in when it suits him, definitely shows non team player traits and supposedly lays down the law to Wells.

Damn you Jordy, now I have to go to the expense of changing my av again. Burn that fkr to the ground!

The clowns have taken almost as much delight in making out Geelong are scumbags to trade with as they did with the Cameron deal last year and also putting the blame on anyone else bar the player in question.

 

[Spearman]

If he's not worth pick 19 then why have Freo offered him a 4 year deal?

this is what I have been thinking the whole time

 

[ShaunWDT]

Im usually one to question Sam Edmund but I struggle to believe hed run with that story if it wasnt accurate.

It's being made out that wells is like colonel nathan Jessup ( Jack Nicholson's character in "A Few Good Men").

 

[Shadow89]

I'm on hold to trade radio - gonna hold that little shit Edmund to account, once and for all

 

[Shadow89]

The story will be true, the embellishment of it getting heated and hanging up on Wells, will not be - that's what Clark refuted, and that's how he gets away with it.

They are still on the phone saying "no you hang up" which is why the deal hasn't gone through yet.

 

[Grimoz]

So Brander likely to be delisted, would we be into him as a DFA?

Nah Wells is waiting for Scarlett to join the chat!!

 

[Spearman]

This is absolutely putrid behaviour by a player to go about things this way.

To set a precedent though, a club ought to allow this to happen some day and absolutely savagely tear apart that player in the court system to prove that contracts are meaningful.

Otherwise, if this pans out how Jordan Clark now wants it to it sets a dangerous tone for future players.

Perhaps the sporting world needs a rethink on contracts - not that I would have any inkling on how it should be done.

when you wish AFL had the US system of push trades, trade him to GC

 

[tielgaz]

Because 22 is fair

No I meant if he refuses to play if not traded.

 

[CharacterFirst]

I think so.
