The Mitch Clark Thread

Featured Replies

This is the thing - we are not getting anything done! Missed out on the Mini Draft and now wasting time on a bloke that wants to live in WA and isn't that good. It's 4.20 pm on Thursday and so far we've got nothing! We've only got tomorrow and Monday. Time is ticking and we are wasting it.

You speak as though there is a lot out there to get.

I have no interest in just getting someone for the sake of it.

Players have to be better than our current list and have to be available at a fair price.

If they do not fit those qualifications then you do not trade.

 

If Clark says no to us and insists he wants to go home or will stay at Lions I would offer our pick 12 to Freo for 16 and 20. I don't think dropping 4 spots would kill us and then we have another pick 4 spots later. I am sure Freo would do it in a heartbeat to get Clark.

I asked the same, all depends on where Prendagast see players were interested in landing. that extra pick at 20 is still value, but the difference between 12 and 16 could mean the real talent disappearing

If he goes in the draft GWS will surely pick him up, so obviously that will be avoided.

If he truly wants to return home we should stay away. Sure-ask if they are his true intentions or just a ruse, but I don't want to draft him if his heart and mind are in WA and then he does a $ully on us and leaves after 2 years.

What do they say? Once burned, twice ahh you can't burn me twice!

A reported 800k a season for 4 years?

I applaud the department making a statement, as it serves as a two fold solution to : A - Everyone knowing we need a BIG FORWARD and B - After getting raped by GWS for Scully....

BUT, 800k a season for 4 years? For Mitch Clark? I associate this sort of money with a GREAT player....not a player that I would classify as a GOOD player....He has a lot of upside as he is still young...but dear lord...this is silly money i feel...

If we get him fantastic, but definitely at a high price that will also include our top picks thats for sure..

800K a season? LOL

Tell him his dreaming!

edit- ok I just read the article- it's "up to" 800 a season, so not definitive. Also surely pick 12 would get it done- don't offer a compo pick as well as Brisbane either take it or let him go for free a la Ball at St Kilda..

I'm happy we are chasing a big forward aggressively. How is this going to affect Martin I wonder...

Edited by SloonieMcFloonieloone


We've got plenty of salary cap room. Why not offer Brisbane pick 12 plus a large contract to Clark?

If it doesn't go through, we've still got pick 12 and salary cap space. If it goes through, then we pick up a quality player for a fair price.

Sorry mate - was Oucher driving it. Apologies.

Probably was me. But I was saying that we should not discount it as part of the trade, I wasn't trying to get rid of him

since when do you believe the hun?

800 K per season sound like BS. However, if this is the case then we are a walking contradiction. Didn't want to pay overs for what seemed to be an elite prospect in Crouch but quite happy to pay massive overs for Clark!!!!

I will be happy to take Clark if he wants to play with us.

I rate him, and think he could become a big factor in our improvement.

Also will be great for us to snare a player of this type to our club.

Go get him Dee's.


I have said it before but maybe i should elaborate, is it only me getting the feeling of what Geelong did when they went after Brad Ottens? Look where that got them...

How much did Carlton fork for Warnock ?

Yes, i see what your saying, are you talking more about filling the last main gap we have with a forward, Geelong did this in the rucking department? rather than simply recruiting a good ruck.

Trade radio talking about this now, saying mitch is thinking about our offer currently, weather this is fluff or not who knows

edit Clarks manager is on saying this

Well one is proven- the other is a kid who probably still has pimples.

I'm all for Clark but I am scared. How is this going to impact on our ruck division as it is now, and how is this going to affect the Martin/Jamar combo thing we have going? Is this going to push Gawn to look for new opportunities?

Someone start a thread on this. We need answers!

Mitch Clark is no Brad Ottens!!!!!!!!

Mitch Clark is no Brad Ottens!!!!!!!!

I think he is talking about Geelong targeting needs before their window opened right up

We seem to be targeting a big bodied mature forward in Dawes and Clark to open up our window

The players arnt the comparison

Mitch Clark is no Brad Ottens!!!!!!!!

No, I was just looking for some method / point of reference in the possibly over paid madness

If any-one should be worried , it'd be Jamar IMO .

No way will we get rid of Gawn .

I think the quote was "up to $800k a year". Surely this would be front loading, with say $2m over 4 years.

No way is he a $800k a year player. And as Ralph twittered: "RalphyHeraldSun Just a thought on Mitch Clark - Dees offering millions over 4 years but he kicked only 27 goals this year as sole forward. No superstar"

Ed: latest Ralph twitter: "RalphyHeraldSun Demons are saying $800K a year for Mitch Clark funny money. Closer to $500K is more accurate. Didn't offer Scully that. Making massive play"

Sounds more like it.

For along time Brad Ottens was no Brad Ottens .

Thats how the Cats got him .

This makes more sense - $500k per year front loaded with upto $800k first year

I agree - no way 4 x $800k

In the immediate future this pushes Martin out, right?

I'm confused, how does this work.. he is a ruckman who can play forward but apparently better in the ruck. Do we make Jamar the stay at home forward and let Clark take over rudck duties or do we just plonk Clark in the square and use him as the stay at home forward.

Can we play Jamar Martin and Clark in the same team?

Thread needed on how this impacts our current ruck stocks please.

 

Other thing is we HAVE this money, and room in the cap

We either spend it or it doesnt get spent and we only pay 92.5% again

Spend it and we lure Clark money isnt my issue

Drafts picks is my issue and us offering overs there

  • 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

    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.
