So Freo offering huge 4 year deals for damaged goods who can’t get games. Sounds like Freo being Freo.So damaged goods maybe 36 is a bit high
As opposed to offering multi year contracts to 30+ year olds that can’t run anymoreSo Freo offering huge 4 year deals for damaged goods who can’t get games. Sounds like Freo being Freo.

So much posturing by supporters. Love it.
I’d imagine a deal would be close to done otherwise comments by media wouldn’t be made.
Worth around 20. Clubs will find a way to get it to around that price. Might mean 27 and other shuffles. Might mean wait until end of trade period to see what currency clubs have.
All this flopping your knob out comments like ‘you can wait until next year then’ over someone who’s been on the outer is laughable.
That would be like Freo taking a stance on Crowden.
He’s not best 22. In part because he’s not good enough, but also because he doesn’t have his pension card yet.
those 30 years olds seem to run the game out well against Freo.As opposed to offering multi year contracts to 30+ year olds that can’t run anymore
You had me for the first 90% thinking this guys onto it respect.
Then you dropped to the classic pension card and thought you were a dick.
Maybe in the future make the good point, then start another comment so I can love and be angry at different comments please xx

oh you are right but maybe 30 year olds have a bit to offerNot exactly a feather in your cap to claim bragging rights over a side not in the finals.
That’s like me giving it to my 4 year old son when I beat him in our 10m dashes back to the car.

You mean guys like Parfitt, Miers & Henry over recent years have shown themselves to be locks in the 22 before the age of 21Damaged goods who cant get a game?
More like the coach is crazy and refuses to play, support or develop anyone under 21yo.
If only we had access to every single junior player in a 7M person city through an academy. You don’t need to respond to jibes by Sydney fans on developing talent.You mean guys like Parfitt, Miers & Henry over recent years have shown themselves to be locks in the 22 before the age of 21
We better not forgot the coaches favourite in Ratugolea who's barely seen any VFL football since making his senior debut at age 19. Then this year it was Holmes who worked his way into the 22 by seasons end
For some reason there's this notion that we don't back in younger guys which just isn't true - the clubs shown itself more than happy to give the new guys a chance, but it's then up to the player to grab that opportunity. Those that make the most of it keep their spots, while others may find themselves back in the VFL and asked to work on various aspects of their game
Carlton make out like bandits and Freo screwed. 35 goes to Freo in this dealPosted this take in the Cerra thread, and thought it might be relevant here too.
(All picks subject of course to F/S and Academy moves)
Carlton
- Receive: Adam Cerra (from Freo), #35 (from Geel)
- Lose: #6 (to Freo), #25 (to Geel)
Freo
- Receive: #6 (from Carlton), Jordan Clark (from Geel)
- Lose: Cerra, #27 (to Geel)
Geelong
- Receive: #25 (from Carlton) and #27 (from Freo)
- Lose: Clark (to Freo), #35 (to Carl)
Fair call. I would say we both have flawsAs opposed to offering multi year contracts to 30+ year olds that can’t run anymore
Would think a pick the 40s gets this done. Drafted way too early in the first place and hasn't really done much since drafted.
Cats will keep him then pretty simple.Would think a pick the 40s gets this done. Drafted way too early in the first place and hasn't really done much since drafted.
Geelong wants a draft pick somewhere in between Fremantle’s first and second-round selections to release contracted speedster Jordan Clarkback home to Western Australia.PLAYERCARDSTART6Jordan Clark

Currently, Fremantle has picks 8 and 27 but the Cats are unlikely to accept pick 27 in return for a player originally recruited with pick 15 in 2018.
It means the Dockers, who look set to receive pick 6 from Carlton for Adam Cerra, will have to shuffle some of their choices to satisfy the Cats with either a late first-round or early second-round draft choice for Clark.
The 21-year-old playmaker has indicated he wants to accept an offer from the Dockers, but has also been told the Cats will keep the 32-gamer next season if a deal cannot be struck with Fremantle.

Talks are ongoing with the Dockers, with Geelong adamant that Clark’s trade value is worth somewhere in between picks 8 and 27.
The Dockers have scope to shuffle choices, with pick 6 also in the mix from the Blues.
Brisbane has picks 14 and 18, could potentially get involved in a swap with Fremantle, while Hawthorn (picks 5, 21 and 24) and Richmond (7, 15 and 26) also have scope to negotiate.
I think there's a bit more to it than that. If the line coach that was keeping him out is gone then is it the same scenario next year? Have a look how easily the cats were pinned in the backline after Stewart went down. A new backline coach would be very likely to be reassessing the whole defensive system, and when he does I'd be extremely surprised if Clark isn't in that backline.The valuation of players is starting to get out of control by Clubs.
Clark here for example...obviously not rated to be a regular in the team and obviously not rated enough to be played in his preferred position yet he is somehow still “highly rated” by the club and want premium compo return?
Makes no sense to me.
I'll take the disgruntled player thanks. Worked for TKI think at best Freo offer pick 27 and if Geelong don't agree to trade, they have a disgruntled player on their list for another year.
