The Mitch Clark Thread

[Redleg 40,925]

Seems highly positive but until monday and papers can be lodged it all is meaningless damn weekend "agreement"

Did Clark change his mind? Is this a prank?

Effing cruel for all involved if it is...

Footy is so stupid sometimes.

What the hell is happenning?!

Hope not and hope Clark is happy with the arrangement

You have forgotten how to spell and you are exclaiming questions, that is what is happening.

Also just mentioned on HS website in tweet from one of the journo's as confirmed for pick 12.

Massive.

Massive.........

[Pennant St Dee 13,173]

If true good to see we havent thrown in the towel or what are we chasing from Freo Pick 16 & a player or pick 16 & 20 giving us either 3 picks in first 32 or something to on trade for someone else in mind

[rpfc 28,433]

Touché.

I must say I am a little taken aback by this. The Melbourne FC twitter feed has just announced he has agreed to a four year deal.

So the options are down to: hacking of our twitter feed, or the club actually landed a player they were going after.

Great get. GO DEES

[GRUN DEE 69]

Huge! Awesome get Dee's! Pick 12.

Sounds as though we keep comp picks too.

How do you do Freo??? Suck eggs you tight arses. He is worth more than Pick 16 & 20. Pick 12 suckers.

[Goat 98]

4 year deal im very happy

[Jordie_tackles 354]

BIGGEST NEWS FOR MFC IN AGES, and so glad we didnt over pay, pick 12 for Clark is value

[Kento80 83]

Of course Clark has agreed to it. If he doesn't want to play for the MFC he can nominate for the Draft or PS Draft. I have no knowledge whatsoever as to what changed his mind (other than the $$$$) but as long as he gives his all to the MFC, then I am absolutely ecstatic with this pick up. I watched his game in Rd 1's 2 pt loss to Freo, and prior to getting knocked out he was absolutely stellar. I said to my mate,"geez I'd love it if he played for the Dees', and whaddayaknow IMO, this is a really good get!

[Demon Disciple 12,127]

Massive news indeed. Freo would of told him they can't meet Brissie's demands and Brisbane would have told him that they weren't going to reduce their asking price.

Been tweeted he has agreed to a 4yr deal.

Get ready for this place to go into overdrive!!!

[Carrot Top 947]

Geez, imagine how excited everyone would be if he was a good player.

[GRUN DEE 69]

As I said in another post. The Dee's will up the offer and give Mitch a headache to revise his decision over the weekend.

The Dee's gave him an offer too good too refuse.

[Sir Why You Little 37,038]

WOW!

"Agreement has been reached tonight to trade Brisbane player Mitch Clarke to @melbournefc for selection 12 in the 2011 National Draft." - MFC twitter

PHuk i just read this somewhere else as well.....Go Demons....persistence.

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Where are the Harrington / Prendergast knockers now?

Just goes to show that the vast majority have NFI when it comes to what the club is actually doing and they'd be better off putting faith in them and priaising their work rather than the constant negative drivel that gets spewed up here far too often!

[biggestred 5,088]

Sad day for football. Money wins over family? Really?

Good for us... But who is to say he doesn't want to go home this time next year?

[BAMF 4,353]

YES!

I'm stoked.

I really rate him

I dont think thats right. Moreso a realisation that he was no guarantee to get there.

[jumbo returns 6,741]

YES!

I'm stoked.

Me too - this guy will really make our forward line very, very impressive.

[rpfc 28,433]

Mark Robinson tweeted that he hopes we aren't paying him too much...

What does it matter when we had a $600k offer knocked back by a certain someone a few weeks ago.

Gotta pay someone.

I'm glad it is a 200cm athletic CHF/Ruck who has a great leap.

[angrydee 842]

Finally, our monster forward.
