Why, you don't have to read it.

It's a choice.

[AzzKikA 2,371]

I know i do not have to read it, but when it's always at the top of the topic list it makes me think about it.

[deanox 8,786]

So any news? Are we getting 33 or what?

Personally I want a bit more.

33 and an upgrade of a later pick maybe?

33 and a fringe player Roos thinks can have an impact.?

[beelzebub 22,347]

I have an inkling when this is done a certain other thread may be enhance to The No T$ No B$ No M€ Thread ..maybe

I saw an AFL article this morning that said MFC were after Geelong second and third round picks for Clark. We'd then attempt to ontrade the 2nd round pick to the Pies for Lumumba, although the Pies want our second round pick...

[mdemonski2 403]

The pies are notorious for living in fantasy land when it comes to trading and don't understand the notion of win win.

They can take the Geelong second round or they keep hl.

We Should trade Mitch Clark and at least get something for him then I think we should go to the AFL and ask them to investigate Mitch Clark an see if they can find out if he has been doing what I think he has and he obviously has been shopping around clubs because he wanted out and he had another year to run on his contract and there is no way we would have let him go otherwise so he and his manager worked out this plan there is no way he has depression as bad as he said it was otherwise he wouldn't be back until 2016. So the club should ask the AFL to investigate can you imagine if the AFL found out the truth they would have no choice but to charge him for tampering with the draft and the worst penalty he could get is be taken off Geelong's List and suspended for 2 years and then after his suspension is over have to go back in the Draft that would teach him a lesson but somehow I think he will get away with it

Take a breath dude.

Give Geelong Clark and our second rounder for their first rounder and second rounder?

Give Geelong Clark and a smoked ham then sit back and watch him take out Hawkins.

I'm surprised the deal hasn't been done yet.

I hope it's because we are playing hardball.

[AzzKikA 2,371]

Actually, why has it not been done?

One can only hope.

We can play hardball, and if GEELONG don't agree to our terms it can be their fault the deal didn't transpire.

Then we can trade him to North for Greenwood and Collingwood can keep labamba. Win/win/win

[Lucifers Hero 37,323]

Actually, why has it not been done?

According to Mahoney we are waiting to hear what Geelong will offer and he emphasized that Mitch is a very good player. Given we have been 'waiting' for 3 days and turned down the players offered, my take is Geelong haven't offered enough.

I just hope we keep some of the spoils (if a 2nd and 3rd rnd pick) for ourselves rather than give all for Lumumba. Happy to have Lumumba but Mitch is a match winner and we could do with an extra pick to help trade out a player we don't want to keep.

We should we not be playing hardball! Why only get a second round and then immediately on-trade it to Collingwood? We would be better off telling Mitch and the Cats that we have decided to trade Mitch to Collingwood for HL, and make it simpler for us! Surely the main advantage of dealing with the Cats must be that we emerge with at least steak knives ( if not a reasonable quality cutlery set)? Edited October 6, 2014 by CBDees

[Jaded No More 59,151]

I'm all for playing hardball, and if we this means we get nothing and Mitch gets screwed, it's better than letting Geelong screw us.

What are the odds that Geelong won't come up with the goods, so Mitch will wait until the dying minutes of Trade Week & then sign with someone else??? The look on Balme's face would be priceless.

[Bearthor 9]

what do you all think about Melbourne trading M.Clark & pick 23 for Geelong pick 14.

gives us either a much better bargaining chip for other trades or access to higher level talent.

ie. ontrade pick 14 and 3 to Adelaide for P.Dangerfield while keeping pick 2 for the beast McCartin

I think we are waiting on the Frawley compo before anything else gets done from our end.

Mitch cannot sign with someone else at the end of trade week because he is still contracted to us until 31 October!
