The Mitch Clark Thread

Featured Replies

No problem mate;

1. Said that now that it's out in the open we will be going for Mitch Clark and are very keen.

2. Haven't discussed whether we will part with pick 12, we'll talk draft picks if and when Clark says he is interested in coming.

3. Are interested in Tommy Walsh from StKilda but on that note theres another 8-10 that interest us.

4. Today will be an interesting day to watch.

thank you greatly appreciated.

 

I'm sure St.Kilda will tell us that he is a future star. Maybe we should tell them that Juice Newton is on the verge of greatness too.

 

Mitch Clark is a significant improvement on Martin. I would still keep Martin because he gives us flexibility and is a player who is on the rise but if it was the difference between getting Clark and missing out, I'd reluctantly say goodbye to Martin. Clark is a great contested mark, has a mature body and was unlucky not to be All Australian two seasons ago.

Couldn't stomach getting rid of Stef. His improvement this year was out of sight and give him a couple more years he could easily be our number ruck.

What do they want ?

The boy can play. Big blokes like that are gold, but thought the whole reason for him leaving was to go back to Perth.

Anyway we would need to give up pick 12 and another decent pick/player I would suggest. And would be happy to.


apparently his partner & daughter are already back in WA, not going to happen

I think you're over-valuing him a bit too much. I agree that he is a player that fills a role, and could be a great player, but from what I've seen, I'm not as convinced as you that pick 12 is right.

But the issue is whether Clark at #12 is a better choice than the 18-year-old we'd get at #12 ... in a compromised draft after GWS has picked the eyes out of it.

Just sounds like brisbane calling up the dees to make a statement to put pressure on freo to come to the party with the clark deal, imho.

As if the Dees would get rid of Stef!!

Exactly..its all relative. Id still try a compo and latter pick swap if re beofre just offering up 12.. But hey. We are about playing footy and about playng it now. Too many get focusses on the tomorrows and the next thing. its like we are never supposed to get around to winning , just the idea we wil lsoon. Its rubbish.

Sometime you have to give to get.

Clark can play but his best footy has always been in the ruck. Sure, he'll be a handy forward but not sure he'll quite be the messiah we are looking for, particularly if his preference is to play ruck/resting fwd rather than the other way round.


No players would be traded from Melbourne. WOuld be Player for pick; or play and pick for pick and pick.

Does sound a bit like that. Official from the Lions said they could be prepared to pick him up again in the pre season draft. They want to squeeze Fremantle.

Would love this trade to happen..and if means one of our first round picks....Clark would be HUGE...the guy can play forward and is a very good ruckmen to boot. Wouldn't get rid of steph..he just bloody signed a contract 2 weeks ago.

but for a couple of picks maybe number 12 and whatever our 2nd round is... DEFINITELY

I'm in favour of a trade for Clark as I think he could definitely fill a role in our team.

Brisbane may not be that keen in dealing with us - remember we gave them trapper a few years ago :)


I would personally pack Stef Martin's suitcase and drive him to the airport if it helped get Clark over the line.

Edit- is there a rule that prevents players being traded just after they re-signed with

club?

A famous tennis player once said it and I will to "You Can't be Serious?"

Trade p/work lodged. GWS Giants exchange on-traded Rd 1 selection (20) to Fremantle for its 2011 End Rd 1 Compensation Selection (R Palmer).

I would say that will be used to appease Brisbane

I don't think it is Internet Etiquette to 'like' your own posts, as that fondness is implicit...

Also, I don't like your disregard of Martin. More important than Clark will be.

Martin is perfect in the modern game with the need for a ruckman to be proficient at rucking and useful elsewhere.

Yeah, that'll do it.

Can't beat a city that holds your missus and your kid...

Yet you'd be surprised how many people do it....

I agree it will do it....

Although Melbourne is closer to Perth than Brisbane... and I reckon we would be offering more $ on the contract than Freo would be offering to sweeten the deal :)

Reckon it's sorted and he'll be signed to Freo pretty soon.

 

gone to freo now

bugger!

gone to freo now

Confirmed somewhere? or is that your opinion?

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
