Melbourne wouldn't pick him up. They couldn't afford a disruptive influence. My guess is pick 16 will do it. If Melbourne hadn't of been interested you would have got nothing.

I'd say that's pretty bang on the money. But if he repeatedly restates his desire not to go to Melbourne and come to Freo instead in the weeks leading up to the PSD he might be able to scare Melbourne off.
Reports say that Bris are very keen on trading for Melb's pick 12 yet all the reports seem to infer that they are not at all interested by our offer of pick 16 only 4 picks lower in the draft and they also do the right thing by helping Clark get where he wants to go.
With this in mind I doubt we have offered pick 16 yet and definitely havent offered 16 + 20. Bond and Lyon both said earlier in the week that they wouldnt be giving away pick 16 so hopefully they are holding to their word and offering pick 20. I think they got pick 20 so that even if they have to give up pick 16 for Clark then we still have reasonably early pick in this draft and we will hold on to that pick.

Whose tweet was it?
http://m.news.com.au/Sport/fi889208.htm
Speaking at Etihad Stadium during a break in the first day of trade negotions, Dockers football manager Chris Bond knocked on the head any rumours of the out-of-contract Saints heading west.
Bond also said Fremantle would not give up its first-round draft pick for Brisbane ruckman Mitch Clark.

This is where Chris Bond said he wouldn't be trading first round pick. Was also on TWR.

Deal done apparently ...as per Ch 9, perth tweet.
If the deal really is done so quickly after Mitch turned down Melbourne, then its gonna be something like 16+20 or a pick + player. If it was just 16 or 20 on the table then we would be waiting till late Monday.
Cheers, I hope this was the case.

Or Brisbane hae finally realised that they need to get A deal done so they can move on with their trade week.
FWIW my guess is Pick 20

That link is from 4 days ago.
Yeah I think that Clark was willing to go into the PSD and let Melbourne pick him up forces Brisbane to deal.
It is...you're good at this internet thing aren't you ? Dockernut was asking for the report of what he said Not WHEN he said it. I have no doubt Bondy may have reassessed his stance but this is what he originally said.
Mind you I still think that the deal will be 16 and 20, unfortunately.
Hope not ...way way way too much

I can't see Kerr playing hardball all week, then just rolling over so quickly without at least some pompous posturing beforehand.
Agreed. Would rather take our chance in the PSD than trade 2 first rounders for a player who wants to come to us.

out of curiosity, how do people rate clark as a 23 year old to sandilands? there has been a lot said about how clark is rubbish, not worth a first rounder etc etc.... i personally think that at the age of 23 clark has it all over sandi. who really imo didnt arrive as a player until he was around 24-25... not saying clark is going to be as good as sandi, just trying to even up the talk on here.
clark is not as good as what brisbane say he is i.e worth two first rounders
but he is certainly not as bad as what people on here say.... i reck pick 16 straight swap is fair

I'd like Clark but not for two top 20 draft picks. I really hope the clubs doesn't stuff this one up. Seeing as Port have just got Renouf we wil keep Griffen and don't need Mitch as much.

Looks like PSD is firmly on the cards.
Will laugh if Melbourne take him. Would expect a lawsuit, and maybe we can finally get rid of one of the shit Melbourne teams as a result.
