Done Deal - 3 way trade

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Geelong are the big winners in this, if Clark's foot holds.

Big effing if.

Harry O is fit and durable.

We did ok out of all this

Still have never wanted anybody to fail miserably as much. ( as Clark ) Edited October 15, 2014 by chook fowler

I'm not sure any of these trades will have much impact in 2015 and beyond.

Lamumba might release Howe forward and he has probably got a starting spot for the next two years at the Dees.

Clark might or might not play. Certainly a bloke his size who plays the way he does is inviting injury.

Varcoe - not sure how he fits in Collingwood's best 22. Half back? Defensive small forward?

ZZZzzzz.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,202]

Cats also just landed Stanley. Now things will move along.

[ignition. 1,454]

Are you kidding me?

Two of their best performers from last season for a bloke that has played one good season at North, Travis Varcoe and Pick 5?

If they get Pick 5 right and if Greenwood becomes their 3rd best mid - then they win.

Otherwise, their slide will long continue.

I think the Pies have lost honestly.

Beams is an absolute star and Lamumba (or whatever his name is) I believe was an All- Australian.

Varcoe is average at best, Greenwood has had one good year but I think will be a solid citizen, pick 5 and Crisp are unknowns.

I'd be filthy if I was a scum supported

Fair points. Without question they have are down with the loss of Beams.

I guess I was only surprised with how much they got back. You two have put it in a little better perspective for me.

Mitch Clark is a [censored] and I wish him nothing but injury and misfortune for the rest of his career. He made many of us believe in him and that he cared about the MFC but as we now know his whole personality is a fraud and he used his "depression" as an excuse to get out of the club and move on elsewhere. Whether we wanted him on the list or not is besides the point, Clark should of put his hand up to be on a rookie list and work hard on the off season to prove he deserved a spot in order to repay all we did for him. Instead he packed his suitcase full of cash and [censored] off to Geelong to take some more photos. Up ya ar$e Mitch, break a leg!

[FireInTheBennelly 4,059]

This picture makes me ill:

Can't believe this wasn't a selfie. Surely he would have wanted to take all the photos himself?

[Nasher 33,607]

We may or may not be winners, but we're the most sure about what we're getting. I'm happy.

I'm somewhat bemused that it took so long though given the relative lack of complexity of the deal

Reported that Varcoe wanted 4 years but only got offered three = hold up

Clark; dog [censored].

Couldn't be more excited to be on board with @GeelongCats I can't wait to get into preseason with the boys #perfectweddingpresent

What a piece of [censored]!!

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,644]

I'll take at face value that Clark's medical advice was not to return to his old workplace as to do so might risk a return of depression. On that basis, Clark was never coming back to us and we've effectively got Lumumba for nothing. I can't see how that's a negative for us.

[Cards13 9,117]

I don't know why, maybe it's finally set in but now for once I feel infuriated with Clark going to the Cats. Maybe it was the poorly Photoshopped image, I'm not sure.

Now (to me anyway) he is nothing more that a feral moggy that swipes at the hand that feeds him.

Photoshopped?! I thought that was a pic he set up himself by the quality of it...

I wish no such physical or mental misfortune on him. I just hope he olays sh it against us if he can ever get on the park.

[Chook 14,988]

Smell ya later Mitch. Thanks for the memories.

Welcome Harry. People give you too much shite. I always liked you, so I'm glad to see you at the Dees.

[Damo 3,238]

Bye Mitch

Stay classy

[Cards13 9,117]

Maybe we should focus on the positive on landing the great man Heri!!! It begins from here. Goooo dddeeessss!!!

[TheoX 1,218]

Scully and Clark are synonyms for deceit and Pecksniffs.

SCully's a saint compared to the latter filthy piece of turd.

[jackaub 1,402]

I cannot believe anybody here believed Clark was sick

Gessus we are a weak club

[Chook in Perth 2,092]

Horatio is a different cat. But he fronts up every week.

He trains hard, prepares well and gets the best from himself.

There's no surprises for us. He'll carry it 20 and bomb it 50 to no one. But that's an upgrade on captain Jack kicking tumble punts out on the full.

[binman 41,937]

And still no comment from MC to the fans who supported him so whole wholeheartedly. Nothing. Nada. Zip. To be honest that is what i find so disappointing. Take the motion out of it and players change clubs.

As i have said he doesn't owe the club anything, no more than the clubs owes something to someone like Clisby who we cut or to contracted players we may soon sack. But i reckon he does owe something to demons fans. He owes us some sot of explanation. Something more than 'yeah i would love to play for the dees again' and then complete media silence. That is what has made me lose respect for him.

[pantaloons 2,019]

Welcome to the Dees, H! Like others, I choose to view this in a positive light. Lumumba is essentially a freebie since I never thought Clark was coming back. Collingwood get ripped off and end up giving a list clogger three years. It's a good day.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Losing Scully allowed Melbourne to get Clark, ironic.
