Mitch Clark - The Second Attempt

[cotter101]

Cant see why the eagles would go for clark,aging mids come to mind unless they are going to convert him or lynch to Kpd.
I think Brisbane will cave to Freo as Clarke will enter Psd,can they afford this scenario to prove a point,Luke ball says no.

one of GWS,GC,Port or us would take him in the PSD. If GWS took him we would get a compo pick so I would send the Message that we will not be pushed around and we would still be getting a compo pick that could be band 2 depending on what Clark would ask for.

He may have just been a big Docker fan in his youth.

Maybe he doesnt like the eagles. I know that might be hard to believe for some but it may be the case

 

[Scooter#10]

Didn't he nominate Freo as he said he didnt think he would get much opportunity at West Coast? He probably realises that this hasn't changed, maybe WCE confirmed it

 

[Cameron_K]

So West Coast out of the running for Mitch Clark according to Colin Young on 6PR. Not what Brisbane fans wanted to hear...

Omeara wanted to stay at Freo

Yeah, he said Freo fought very hard to get him to the club but it just didn't happen. Hopefully in 3 years time

Off topic.

Off topic.

And you care why?

 

[nurries]

Off topic.

I was talking to Cam K re Colin Young (he mentioned it after he talked about Mitch Clark). Thus the relationship. Topic Nazi

They never were in the running for Mitch Clark!

 

[raffrox]

Off topic.

Oh yeah.

It's getting nasty.

Its no coincidence that Young's last two comments in the media about Clark have been:

a) looks like it might be PSD time
and
b) WC are out of the running now

It might just put to rest the posts saying Freo (I think as some have put it) has "zero power".

Guess not.

 

[oxyconman]

who thinks the deal will simply be

m.clark to fremantle

Pick 16 and pick 38 to brisbane?

thats what frem said they are prepared to give at the moment

(personally i think they will give more by the end of trade week)


brisbane want pick 16, 38 and 56 for m.clark and pick 70 (THIS IS VERY LIKELY as he has nominated fremantle and WC have no spots for him with so many talls already)


fremantle should def pay the price - it is fair for both parties IMO


# what about m.clark and picks 29 and 52 to fremantle for pick 16 and r.palmer pick (end of rd 1 pick)


fremantle internally are already saving the end of rd 1 pick for r.palmer to trade for a good MIDFIELDER as m.pavich has already been told by r.lyon he will be FF next season - a coach that knows what he is doing amazing

Doesn't happen at Freo usually

He's an Eagles fan mate.

If Fremantle get Clarke. Please play him as you're second ruck and rotate him forward.
Piss of Griffen at the end of 2012 and play Clarke and Clark when Sandilands retires in the next 3 odd years.

 

[beatnik]

Channel 10 news. His management said that Clark will not agree to go to WC.

Can't see how that helps Clark's case to be honest, it gives the Lions a licence to play hard ball

any sense of sentiment in getting him hime has been exposed for the scam that it was...the club should be mercenary if he actually said that

 

[silverscope]

Not this shit again.

Play hardball with what beatnik?? You don't have much control over the situation...

He wants to come to Fremantle. Not GWS. Not Port. Not Richmond. Not Melbourne. Just Fremantle.

Meaning you can only deal with us, giving us the upper hand.


The deal should be done tomorrow. The thing that was holding us up, apparently, was the O'Meara mini draft pick trade.

 

[Arcassius]

You're right - if he's being mercenary then Brisbane should do the same and ...


do what exactly? redraft someone in the PSD who doesn't want to be there? good plan sunshine - i hope that positioning works well for you when free agency comes about

 

[tacopavlich]

Can't see how that helps Clark's case to be honest, it gives the Lions a licence to play hard ball

don't think there was any to start with.

Not me.

Really? Where have you seen that we've offered that?

 

[ImperialPurple]

He's an Eagles fan mate.

I have no idea if that's true or not and don't really care either way TBH, but O'Meara's manager said earlier tonight on 6PR that O'Meara had hoped to stay in WA. When Haggers asked if it was true his preference was Freo, Young said yes, and that Freo had worked very hard to get him but just couldn't get it to happen.

Eagles fan, maybe; wanted to stay in WA and play for Freo, (according to his manager) definitely.

But it didn't happen, so the fact is it's irrelevant either way.

 

[Max zero]

I get the feeling WC just think it is too good an opportunity to pass up on. Whether you need him or not.

Pretty much.

Yes I would prefer a quality mid but there just isn't any available at pick 23 unfortunately.

So instead of going for a 50/50 in a weak draft we get someone who we know can play.

 

[silverscope]

Somehow I think it would be more likely Compo pick + 38.

We put up our pick 16 for Tom Mitchell. Which tells me we want to use that for ourselves, not for Clark.

It has been said many times but Pick 38 you would think has 0 value for us because we have 4 picks in front of it and would not really be useful in a trade.

 

[bombermick]

If Freo won't at least offer pick 16, Brisbane won't deal. They'd rather lose him for nothing to GWS than give him to Freo for peanuts. Clark might have to think about coming to Melbourne if he wants to leave Brissy so badly.

EDIT: His manager said on Trade Week Radio that Brisbane deserves a top 10 pick for him, but they obviously don't have one. I have a feeling he might have to swallow his pride and pull on a Lions jumper next year.

Just interested in what you would give up for Lycett if he wanted to go to Brisbane?

Or Zac Clarke for that matter?
