Traded Jordan Clark and F4 traded to Fremantle for #22 and F3 (Carl)

[CatToTheFuture]

Will either turn out to be better than Cerra or a total bust.

What if Cerra turns into a bust?

 

[The 747]

Unbelievably good move to get 22 in from the pies. Created a dynamic where the cats may need to settle for it.

big footy will be simple -

If cats get 19, even if they give something back - cats fan will be pumped, freo mad

cats get 22 - even if it gets sweetened, cats fan will cry “losing all our youth, rolled over etc”. Freo fans - “Clark is best 22, and got 19 and Brodie, Huge win, we bent them over”

freo and cats walk away. Clark stays.
freo fans “he was sh*t Anyway, huge draft hand, see you in 12 months”. Cats fans “faaaaaark we better actually play this kid now”.

freo now have the whip hand and I would be surprised if the cats don’t take 22.

Yeah I reckon we will take 22 in the end. But 22 is better than 27 anyway. Wonder if we can trade something for 27, I am keen to see if we can get the full set of seconds this year.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I've gotten a transcript of a recent Bell phone call

Gil: What the **** are you doing Pete?

Bell: Putting feathers in caps, whats the problem?

Gil: I have a 200k invoice from Continental Tyres that needs validating, which I cant do if you get every major trade done by Thursday week 1

Bell: oh yeah, shit sorry, we'll pause the Clark trade

Gil: Not good enough, find a story about drama or I'll send pick 19 back to GC

Bell: No probs Gil, I'll reach out to Sam

 

[Pure_Ownage]

If they dont accept it, i am happy to go to the draft with 6,8,19,22

Good outcome for both clubs.

, it seems Clark doesn't have the same attitude as Kelly. He know he's still going to get a contract with a WA club after 2022 and can't really see him applying himself for the next 12 months, especially if he was told 22 would get the deal done and then Geelong reneged on their word.

We’ll trade 22 and change to somehow land pick 18.
Then Geelong will die on a hill for that squabble.

I'd say the only people looking stupid are those hanging off every word of Tweets with zero proven basis in reality, then going off half cocked before anything has actually happened.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Eh, that pretty much confirms it if true, they'll take 22 in the end. If they actually said they'll take 22, that will be the end result. Wouldnt surprise me if Edmunds is making sh*t up though, it's an easy hit piece to put together and drive drama

If we were going to take 22 it would have been done as a 3 way trade wouldnt it? We arent accepting 22 i dont think.

Diddums, Freo are trying to poach a contracted Geelong player. Some Freo posters having tantrums ITT.

 

[Shadow89]

Wells is a pr**k.

Can't imagine Freo or Clark and his management are too happy with Geelong. I hope Freo don't come off offering 22 and if no deal gets done, I hope Jordy does a Cam McCarthy and threatens to sit out a year.

I can near guarantee that this is absolute BS. If you want evidence of Edmund's incompetence as a 'journo', see him saying yesterday that Brodie wouldn't be going to Freo.

He literally just makes shit up. Besides, this doesn't even make any logical sense. You got 19 before 22, so we already knew that you had Pick 19 before we knew you were getting Pick 22. What he's saying only works in reverse. That enough should be evidence that he's full of it.

Calling Wells a prick over incendiary BS, is just poor form.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Of course Geelong are entitled to enquire about 19. But if Freo went about obtaining pick 22 for Clark because it was deemed good enough then you’re either solid with your word or not.

The enquiry should be as simple as:

Geelong - ‘Ok so we said 22, well done for getting that, but we see you got 19. So we were thin…’

Freo - ‘No’

Who says we did say yes to 22?only the 2 clubs know that not the journos.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Amateur hour at the Cattery. Head-shaking stuff.

A bit like those who believe a tweet from Sam Edmund as gospel... Yeah??

 

[Pure_Ownage]

If that were the case, it would have been a 3 way deal and already done.

Agree.

Yep, sounds like the kind of bloke Freo would offer a four year contract to.

Yikes, make that Geelong and yourself after that one.

Wells is a prick for sure.

You don't play Clark and then get a decent asset offer and then say we want more.

 

[Freoboy in Melbs]

It's ok, I've been embarrased by some of my clubs antics at times also. You'll be right.

So you don't think conversations were had before Freo traded for 22. I bet my bottom dollar Belly asked if we could get 22, would that get the Clark deal done and Mackie/Wells said yes. We got 19 and all of a sudden the goal posts shifted.

Poort form from Geelong and Wells is still a pr**k.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

So every player outside the 22 is just free to a good home?

Just because Geelong doesn't gift young players games like some other clubs, doesn't mean they are chaff.

Repeat after me: "Jordan Clark is contracted for 2022."

Awful take.

Players have to earn their spot in the best 22 at Geelong. I understand this would be a foreign concept for you.

 

[STPer18]

Pick 19 will get this done. What's the holdup? I know Perth is a few hours behind but come on fellas.

All of that is a guess on your part.
