Clark wants out to Freo.
Tarrant wants out of Freo.
Jacobs wants out to Crows.

How about
Crows lose X gain Jacobs.
Carlton lose Jacobs and Y gain Tarrant plus X.
Brisbane lose Clark gain Y
Freo lose Tarrant get Clark.

question to be answered: what values are X and Y

Doormat for trades to work they need to be as fair as possible. Teams need to break even as much as possible. If you assign values to Clark, Tarrant and Jacobs based on years left to play, ability and value to the team, you might get Clark = 9, Jacobs = 7, Tarrant = 3.

Based on your suggested trades, with Freo only losing Tarrant and gaining Clark they end up way in front which means some other team/s will have to give up more than they gain - which won't work.

Go back to the drawing board and try again.

He wants to go home,i have read a number of reports and i have not seen anything about Victorian clubs he still is contracted and why do Carlton want him FFS.

 

[rp84]

This is the stupidest thread i have ever heard. The fact that some people are willing to give up first rounders, seconds rounder and player just for one hack amazes me.
He has played one game where he kick 5 goals and had done nothing since.
I was actually joking around about him when Brisbane played Essendon because he gave away 4 free kicks in the first quarter and out of the 5 odd disposals he got in that quarter, only 1 of them hit a target.

He is a hack and definately not a key position forward. i would much rather have Waite as FF and draft a CHB then waste all these picks and players on a dud with an anger problem.

You. Are. An. Idiot. (YAAI- my new favourite acronym)

He wont end up a ruckman. He will be a full forward.

Agreed.

His best footy is in the ruck? FFS.

He has played his best season ever as an undersized ruck. He has shown glimpses as a forward in a bad team. If we had him playing as a forward, with MK and Warnock swapping through the FF line, it becomes a very strong marking, dangerous forward line. MK, I feel, is not a permanent forward and never will be. Just doesn't look like getting near it, with someone on his hip all day.

We have a CHB. His name is J.Waite. Needs to start playing with some responsibility.

200cm isn't really undersized. He'd played his best footy in the ruck and other than 2009 hasn't played too many other great seasons.

I can see better places to put an early, like real real CHB, not a sweeping type like Waite. He gets monstered by the physically powerful CHFs.

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

He may want to go to Freo but he has another year left on his contract.

Plus what does Freo have to satisfy Brisbane in the trade? Not much - hence we should at least ask the question.

You're forgetting that Vossy's at the helm. All Freo have to do is tell him that McManus is available, and Vossy will be all over it like flies on shit.

Not saying the Clark thing is a chance of happening, but he couldbe a perfect FF for us. Big, strong, and can take a grab. Has a bit of mongrel in him, the perfect sort of player you can throw in the guts when times are tough to give the boys a lift. Gives away a few too many frees due to this mean streak, but it can be a very useful asset, and something that none of our players really possess apart from Robbo.

That said i don't think we're in with a shot.
