Matthew Bishop

[Blistering 541]

I was watching parts of the 2004 grand final between Port Adelaide and Brisbane and noticed Matthew Bishop playing for Port.

I was wondering if someone could tell me what Melbourne got in exchange for him when he left?

Pick 42 - Michael Clark

Pick 42 - Michael Clark

Michael is the son of Dennis Clark. Michael only played one game in 2002

But apparently was an extreme good runner.

Obviously didn't help him too much . . .

2 reason I hated that trade,

1 in hindsight the guy we got did nothing.

2 as a old firend and some one who played footy with Matty, I had insight into the club I love

someone will know but i'm pretty sure Stephen Powell was part of that deal and Eagleton went to the dogs.

That's what I thought too.

Pick 42 - Michael Clark

Thanks for that. Sounds like we should have kept Bishop. He was better than pick 42 and would have been handy for a few years.

Good luck to him because he won a flag.

Not saying they're not connected, but I've got the two trades listed separately.

Stephen Powell from Footscray for selection 35 (Patrick Wiggins)

Matthew Bishop to Port Adelaide for selection 42 (Michael Clark)

Somebody would have to look at the original draft order.

heres another bad fact

pick 43- Lindsay Gilbee

[Eastie Boyz 0]

There's always a couple on every draft WonnaJurah

much more effective player at melbourne than port. kicked 4 goals at each club, but got them in only 18 games at the mfc, while it took 132 games at port adelaide :P

My most vivid memory of Bishop is of when we were playing Port at the MCG and he (playing for us) was absolutely pummelled into the ground by Barnaby French. Mega tackle.

we did alright with stephen Powell though, the Bulldogs would have been kicking themselves.

First year with us & he plays in a GF None of there players have done that since'61 :lol:

but maybe its Karma for stealing '54 off us....
