But no Clark....

He must have been a target for GWS, possibly even as captain. I would have found it difficult to stay at the Lions if I was him. Good on him for his decision.

On Footy Confidential last night, Caro mentioned that Freo had offered Clark something to get him over to us. Now this might be just Caro re-hashing old news from last year but it may also signal that we might be heavily involved in the trade period knowing that we are in line for a compensation pick. Seeibng as last year we didn't have enough picks to get Clark, but with a compo pick we might be able to.

Rich re-signing was a formality, never in doubt IMO.

I heard Carro waffle on about us making a play for Clark. I hope she's just being ignorant. I wouldn't be prepared to pay for him. We've got enough talls in his mould, not to mention Moller in the bank.

Yeah maybe.

Let's say, for instance, that MJ left the building. Thoughts now?

Ballantyne Clark Walters
Fyfe Pav Mayne

Looks alright to me

 

[ritz]

If Johnson, and Anthony were leaving at years end, and to a lesser extent, moller, for whatever reason, was no longer in our future plans, then I would be keen but otherwise no.

 

[borrat]

clark is more than likely going to gws and anyway you guys wont have enough to get him

 

[Nickos66]

Kepler's a better forward than Clark.

Clark's a better ruckman but even he admits he prefers playing forward. He's just not very good up there though.

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

we probably wouldn't want him. our rucks stocks are brimming and while clark has shown glimpses, he's not a good enough mark of the ball to be a really damaging forward at this stage. dude's gonna have to bite the bullet and live interstate for a few more years.

 

[Kram]

Looks like Big Cox's 'inside information' was wrong.. again

As for Clark I don't think we really need him especially with what we would have give up.

Probably. I wouldn't mind Clark on our list at all, but he would have to come cheap and that ain't going to happen - if GWS are interested and he's happy to go to Sydney, then his value is going to be inflated more than it already is anyway.

The only way he'll come here is if he definitely and particular wants to play at Freo (a la Griffin).

 

[cotter101]

He is almost a certain to go to gws, you have a slim chance but you guys would have to give up a fair bit. Dont know what you guys would give though

 

[ritz]

Schammer? Talk to his agent, he goes by the name of Steven hillbilly.

 

[Moo]

Look I like Clark as an option - at the right price.

On the wide expanses of Subi - he is mobile, works extremely hard and more than a decent ruck option.

We are short KPP's - Clark is a KPP, if the price was right we should jump. Having said that - if Clark was at Freo, the price would include a first rounder.

If we don't get our act together with Griffin, hey we might need another ruck option.

Looks like Big Cox's 'inside information' was wrong.. again

Hey you try throwing a dart at some names and clubs and see how you go....it's not that easy

 

[peppy la pew]

Better get the sand bags out, news of Rich signing on for another couple of years will bring rivers of tears from up the road.

They were adamant he wanted to join them..

As for Clark, I think Brissie will want cattle stations

 

[strobe00]

We are short KPP's - Clark is a KPP, if the price was right we should jump. Having said that - if Clark was at Freo, the price would include a first rounder.

I'd have said he's a ruckman that Brissy are forced to play as a KPP because Luenberger is a better ruck.

We've already got two of those players in Griff and Clarke.

 

[Notorious_29]

I'd love to grab Clark, would fit in perfectly in our side at full forward. Kepler is a good lead up forward but contested marking isn't one of his strengths, Clark would also provide better back up in the ruck.

At the end of the day though Brisbane will want the world for him, and GWS will be in a much better position bargaining wise.

 

[PapaJ]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's out of contract isn't he? Which means that it's only GWS' treasure box of cash and picks that are in the way ... and they'll get their way of course because we could never match what they can offer both Brisbane and Clark himself.

However, if Clark made a big enough song and dance about it he could still nominate Freo as a preference and the force GWS/Bris to go against his will ... or am I missing something here?
