The Mitch Clark Thread

Featured Replies

Would be nice. But it wont happen.

Maric too Richmond, Picks 12, 36, McGuane too Brisbane, Clark too Melbourne.

 

I find it strange that this site is full of people wanting Melbourne to take a risk and go hard at getting what we want. Then when we do people complain about it being too much!!

Obviously Neeld and co and decided that we specifically need a big body that can go forward. Clark is the only one avalible so we are going out and making it happen, against the odds.

Its a specfic targeted strategy and if thats what we need then we have to be preparded to pay for it. Clark could be the link in the chain that wins us a grand final in a few years. Make it happen Dees!!

Absolutely spot on!

Years of living in draft pick land have blurred the reality for some.

No mention of that on Trade Week Radio. Sounds like BS to be honest. Pick 16 + 20 is a better prospect than 12 + Maric.

If the Lions didn't like Pick 12 + Maric we could up it to just Pick 12.

 

Apparently Brisbane now asking for pick 12 + Maric?! Anyone else heard this?

Ha, would do that in a heart beat, doubt it's true though.

What people have to remember when saying we are paying "overs" is that it is all relative. Clark is what we need to plug a hole in our side that has troubled us since Neitz retired. He is also in our age bracket. Is it worth giving 12 & compo to get him considering we know we have Viney coming next year plus another compo pick to use? You can only stockpile draft picks/young kids for so long and if we lose out on an extra kid (compo pick) and land a player who can a plug a hole then I reckon we've done extremely well.

That being said I reckon Clark will still say he wants to go to Freo but you can't fault us for trying our damnedest.

No. Where did you hear it? BS


If Clark is adamant he does'nt want to come too Dee's.

Pick 12 & Maric too Freo for Pick 16 & Ballantyne. Walters?

Pick 12 & 20 will get them Clark.

Edited by jungle dee

Let's be honest: 16 and 20 for Mitch Clark is rubbish. Brisbane have every right to knock that back.

Wasnt everyone saying yesterday 12 was enough to get the deal done if he wanted to come here?

16 & 20 is probably as good as 12 surely - its a pick four down the queue + pick 20

 

How many hypothetical trades can we come up with until Clarke rejects our offer! lets play the game..GO

I reckon 12 and a high second rounder/equivalent player might get it done.

Two low first rounders seems mediocre for such a highly-talented footballer.

I just think at that stage of the draft, 4 picks is a really big gap.


Mitch Clark plays his best footy in the ruck and is not quick enough to play as a permanent KPF.

We should go for the best value permanent KPF. I would like to see us go for Ó hAilpín, Fevola and/or Walsh as they are much cheaper options and we get to keep our picks. We could also do well out of brokering a deal so Clark gets to Freo.

We have the ruck well covered with Jamar and Martin. We also need to remember that Gawn and Cook will be good players.

I doubt we will get Clark anyway given he wants to go to WA.

i think it will be an offer of either pick 12 or one of the compo picks + a highish second rounder (which we will gain from a swap of Warnock/Maric/Bate + our own second rounder)

Yep. Like it.

Wrong. He is an enigmatic but at times dominant young key forward who can ruck. You obviously didn't see him eat us up at Visy in the pre-season playing full forward.

One of the impacts of getting Clark is the possible return we might get on a trade in a year or two. If Fitzpatrick kicks on you'd think either he, Martin, Spencer or Jamar would be excess to needs. I'm assuming Gawn is our main ruck after the Russian has finished and is non negotiable.

I see Clark as a forward but his rucking ability is very valuable.


His manager just said he didn't want to come to Dees on Trade Week Radio apparently... :(

Clark's Manager is on Trade Week Radio and has stated he wants to go to Freo - Surprise, Surprise. He doesn't want to play for us. Is everyone clear on that? Can we please move on and actually do something constructive this trade week and land a player that wants to be at the club!

trade radio confirmed Mitch wants Freo BUT brisbane want melbournes pick 12 , brisbane have accepted the melbourne offer , now melbourne must convince Mitch

can we change his mind ??

also saying if no deal done by 2 pm monday melbourne could still get him

no, we cant! lets have a crack at someone else who doesnt want to come!

Yep. I was listening to it. Colin Young confirmed that Melbourne's offer was satisfactory to Brisbane (Pick 12, he said). Clark is adamant that he wants go to Freo though, so that's just about that.

All he has to do is walk, Brisbane can draft him back in the PSD, so can we for that matter but would we want to, or would they? What he has to be careful of is GW$ have the first pick and Sheedy wouldn't hesitate to use it on him.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
