GWS would be all over it like a rash. They have plenty of cash, he's the perfect age for them, and he would be able to play number one ruck for them where they currently lack a big body and which is the position he really excelled in. And if they lose him in two years its no big deal as their kids will have come on by then.

Personally, couldn't care where he ended up...If a suitable trade cant be found, cant see his management risking the psd where there is a possibility his client was relocated to another part of the country, ie GWS who easily could accomadate his $600k asking price...If a trade cant be done to one of the WA sides, his second option would be to remain at Brisbane..
He's worth a mid first rounder in a normaldraft. ie, pick 7-9. In this draft, which is considered weak and with your "mid first round pick" all the way back at 16 due to all the GWS picks, he's worth more.
But hell, maybe Brisbane will get bent over rather than send him to the PSD, who knows.

Consider he was a pick 9
Is in the Lions leadership group
Was a former member of the AA squad
And still only 23 - turns 24 in October...
Freo fans thinking that their first rounder of 14 will get the job done are living in lala land.
Pick 16 would be a very light start. You want a gun player, you need to give up more than crumbs.
My bet would be 16, the Palmer pick and maybe a fringe player on top of that.
Otherwise GWS, GC, Melbourne, Richmond, Carlton, Dogs, Nth will all come calling.
Just because his preference is to go back to WA does not mean it will happen if Freo don't pay his worth.

They can have him then.
I think his value to GWS is about the same as palmers, so i am prepared to offer the compensation pick + a fringe player.
Otherwise he can go to a different team.
Just because carlton was prepared to give a first rounder for Brock, doesnt mean every club has to over pay.

Lets compare to Palmer
Pick #7
Rising Star
Only 22
Also had a terrible year in 2011 (like Mitch)
We got an end of first round for him which I think we came out on top. Lets just face facts that some players are just not worth what you paid for (like a car)
I dont think Mitch is worth more than a second rounder - if the deal cant be done for that then I would rather not have him.
Edit: Ok, second rounder and a player at best
A bit like Jacobs to Adelaide last year?
Gees, you really showed the Crows who were boss.
My point? A team doesn't always get full value when the interstate 'go home' factor is involved. We know that (Tarrant, Croad and Warnock for starters) and the Lions know that.

Nothing like Jacobs to the Crows, and Mitch is a far better prospect than Jacobs.
And comparing Clark to Palmer...c'mon...Palmer hasn't played a good game of football for over 2 years...and is an average footballer at best...can find it, but geez he butchers it.
You guys should be happy he went to GWS, as the comp you received was more than any team would have traded for him.
Lions have already said they won't trade him to Freo unless the deal is fair.
They have also come out and said that in their eyes a fair deal would be your first pick and 2 players...
So say what you will, but Freo hold zero bargaining power, as Clark is a wanted commodity...
Sure, the Lions will do their best to get him to the club he wants to go to, but they won't do it as a good will gesture.
Gaurenteed he will be traded for a lot more than what some Freo fans are putting up as viable options.
And if Freo don't want to play ball, you can reasonably expect that Clark will be running around in a GWS, GC, Tigers, Nth or Blues jumper next season.

Mitch did not have terrible year he had an average year. What you think dose not really matter, If you don't want Clark fine that's your opinion but Lyon dose. Bottom line is you will likely give us something like Pick 16 and a decent young player.

Using that logic, I could delete every post in this thread. Nobody here is involved in trade discussions in any way - not the Brisbane fans who want the world for Clark, the Fremantle ones who want him cheap or the other random supporters who chime in about the PSD.

Where is the "played most of the year injured" stat.
So as Brown Dog said where is the "Played most game injured" stat. And you are comparing him to two of the best KPF in the game.
You are 100% correct, except Clark has said he only wants to go to perth. This is like Judd only saying he would go to Carlton, and other clubs offering better picks. It doesnt matter because the player wont sign a contract with the other team.
Based on this, Freo will have more bargaining power as trade week goes on, and in the end the lions will accept what freo is offering like so many other clubs have done in the past.

Find me a player who didn't play the season injured.

So you are saying we should pay a lot for an injury prone key forward who can only kick 27 goals from 17 games.
He is not Injury prone played most game over the last 3 years.
The Falcon Strike
Hall of Famer
put it this way
in his last 2 years - he's either been injury prone or just downright poor.
If he's playing injured - than in 6 years he'll stuggle to convince anyone he's got a body for football.
If he's been playing poorly - then he;ll struggle to convince anyone he's got the required skill &/or commitment to be worth a high draft pick
Strikes me as Kozi Mk 11 Every now and then shows glimpses of ripping it up - but in the end 10 years passes and you realise that the glimpses were the anomaly, not the actual talent

and played poorly, yet you expect a round 1 pick and a player (2 players according to crazy vossy)
You have got to be kidding, do most of you Freo supporters not know that Voss has not asked for a 1st round pick and 2 players, its just the media to get people attention. Weather you like it or not your club will most likely give up a first round pick and maybe something else.

He's missed 25% of games over the past 4 years.
Based on that, it's fair to expect 16 games from him next year, and of those 16 games, how many will be coming back from injury?
Missing 5-6 games a year is pretty close to injury prone.

Yeah maybe Brisbane should get rid of Jonathan Brown if he's only going to play 8 games next year.
Same for Freo. About time they ditch Michael Barlow. What's the point if you get 12 games out of him a year.
