Mitch Clark - I need answers.

[Reg Hickey]

I think I'm going to hold Clark too ... at least for this week.

I can play Ottens and Tippett in the ruck at the moment and Warnock as emergency if one of them pull out, so I have coverage for now, and I suspect Cox could be a good trade up for one of Clark/Ottens in another week or two.

96 Vs Melbourne.... Just about BOG for Brisbane.....

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Not even close to best for Brisbane, encouraged by the score he pulled out though.

Just about BOG SC wise....

96 in a team that, let's face it, got pumped, is a fair effort.

That is a ridiculous call CC
You obviously didnt watch the game. He was the 6th highest SC scorer for the Lions. and the 12th highest SC scorer on the ground. He had just 13 touches!! Simon Black had a super game with 32 touches and 133 points.

Ridiculous??? Black may have been 133 but the next Best was Johnstone (WTF??) 116, then Drummond 101. Two other players scored 97. Yeah, just about BOG SC wise.

Went to the game on Saturday night - Johnstone was a constant threat and carved us up in the backline - surprised he didn't get higher than 116.

Clark had a lot of inside 50s...as someone who kept the faith with him, I was encouraged enough (although Leuenberger played better than desirable for Clark owners)...didn't think he deserved a 96 though.

Everyone now agree getting seaby was a knee-jerk reaction and a bad decision??

now that sydney has a whole new game plan...saints are the new swans

 

[Number_48]

CaptainChardonnay what are you even coming overall?

Looking at it now NicNat or Mumford would have been a better option or even trade Hurn -> Malceski because of Hurn's suspension.

But I still stand by my decision to bring in Seaby, I wasn't expecting him to average 90. but thought 70-80 was possible, given he'd contest more ruck contests at Sydney as their games have more stoppages. I expected higher TOG than his WCE days as I thought he would be played as Sydney's no.1 ruckman, but since then Mumford seems to have taken that role. Also playing in a winning side means you get a greater share of the 3300 points on offer per game. So I don't agree that trading in Seaby was a knee jerk reaction and that it was wrong, everybody knew he wouldn't pump out the 100's (although i must admit I was hoping for it against the Tigers), I can't speak for others, but I would imagine thats lots like me were expecting an increase on his previous seasons averages and thought for 287k he represented good value. For me the main reason for the Clark -> Seaby trade was that it allowed me to trade Tippett -> ROK which has worked out fantastic. Just my reasoning.

 

[Footbrawler]

I went Clark to Sandi which worked out well.

Most people were hoping Seaby was going to deliver 80+ each week. None considered the Mummy factor. I mentioned it earlier in the thread, we don't pay Mummy $300k a year to sit on the bench.

Anyhow, even if you did take Seaby, you aren't losing money. Ditto Hille, ditto Nic Nat. If you stuck with Clark you are losing a heap of cash.

clark is a spud get him out as quick as possible
