29 in a month. So if we got him next year he's turning 30. Imo his form is already on the down slope. We're not in a flag winning position so these top ups aren't really helping us

It's his preference, but he also has a very good relationship with Crippa from pre-draft.

West Australians love being at Port.
Unlike the team down the road, it’s nice not having to limit ourselves to drafting and trading for South Australians

Well you would think 1 of the WA teams will be all over him.
We were super keen on clark in the draft and would have taken him over Duursma had he been there.
Freo from reports
I saw Clarke play in the VFL a couple of weeks ago at Williamstown. Cut willy up whenever he had the pill. Is an annoying little shit too, very chirpy. I like him.
Thought Krueger played well too as full back that game, though willy's FF is a bit of a dinosaur.

Well that would've been a shit decision, lucky Geelong saved us from ourselves.
Young and could still improve, etc, but I haven't been that impressed by Clark.
So you think Port just interested in Petty and Clarke at the moment? Been hearing we are looking at Billings but the article may have just picked a random RFA player as we apparently have money in the cap.
Also any info on the ladhams trade talk and which clubs are interested. Would think to go after Petty and Clarke we would need to trade in some picks. Ladhams might have some currency.
Clark is a weird one. As a hbf we’ve got a lot of quality players already there and he’s being held back from playing that spot already at Geelong cause he’s a one way player. I love that we’ve got a lot of 2 way defenders on our list to play back. Though if you’re upset at being stagnant at hbf (which at times we are) then he’s a guy who can offer some run.
If you like him as a running mid / wingman he has some skills there but again we’ve got a few players that can do that role already, and arguably better / more upside / have weapons.
If he came with the “hasn’t quite worked out former first rounder discount” of a 3rd round pick then he’s a bargain and makes sense (but I think cats would ask for much more)
But if geelong fancy themselves getting a good price for him then it becomes tricky.
Could easily get behind getting him cause he’s a young player with some upside, but don’t see him as a need, nor as a certain enough upgrade on any first 25 player to want to part with good currency.
As for petty, I loved him predraft where he was a mobile intercepting and offensive / defensive balanced chb who could really get off his opponent.
A few years later and he looks much more like a shutdown key defender in the Trengove mold.
Developing key defender is a big need for us but I’m surprised that port would pick petty as a good fit.

Pretty sure i read on here we've spoken to his manager.
If we were to get Clark, we'd have another player from the superdraft, well a superdraft for everyone but Adelaide. If you redid the top 20 they'd currently have the 3 players ranked 18-20, that's quite an effort by their recruiting/list management team.
Im a bit 50/50 on billings as a RFA it wont cost draft picks and at 25-26yrs old, hes a good age. I think the rumour was only just a random article about ports salary cap they just linked a decent RFA.

yes yes yes to jordan clark.
Why would Geelong get rid of Jordan Clark? Their list is ancient, why would they be giving away young players?
As a guess, they might want a ruckman more than a wing/half back.

Is this implying that you would trade ladhams for Clark? I don’t think I would do that.

Billings is solid and would be a decent pick up as a free agent, but not really what we require and what we should be spending our salary cap on. He would have to come reasonably cheaply and I think there will be clubs out there that would offer him more than we would and should.
Clark is one of those fringe players who destroys low-intensity pre-season games but cant win a contest or do anything with the ball in the real stuff. He is in the same boat as Bonner atm, but probably not as good.
