Mitch Clark - The Second Attempt

[Admiral Byng]

if i was a freo supporter, i wouldn't be very comfortable with what has happened at your club the last 6 weeks. backstabbing the senior coach, releasing media statements from opposition players. not very professional at all is it?

I don't think I would want someone like Mitch Clarke at the club (i am glad he is gone from the lions) after the way he has acted this week. He obviously thinks he is above the team, and obviously thinks he is going to walk straight into the best 22 at any club.

When i first heard that clarke wanted to go back to perth, i actually thought the neither freo or the eagles would actually want him as they are both very well off on talls.

he stinks as a forward, he is a fair ruckman, and useless in the backline. not really what you are looking for in a kpp. the best year he had was when he was one out in the ruck and pretty much played as an extra man in defense so he wasn't using up energy running all over the ground.

I can't even get him into the Freo best 22, so I don't know why they have been in his ear the last 6 months selling him on moving back to perth.

For the first part, we seem to be around 70 % in favour on the Freo board.

For the second part - if he is shit player with a shit attitude - we'd offer you our third round pick and you'll happily take it thinking you got a bargain. Can't have it both ways.

Well if he's so rubbish then why do you expect anything of value in a trade?

Lucky for you that you're not a Freo supporter then

Thanks s3...... But I am fairly comfortable with the way the club handled change of coach. Also with the way they have handled trade week and recruitment of Mitch. Not that keen on the psd threat from Mitch on the freo website, but can't understand bris supporters angst over this when Kerr made psd a threat through the media several days earlier.

I don't understand why Freo have offered picks 16 and 20 for Clark. I admit haven't read much of this thread, but from what I've seen of this guy is he really worth those 2 picks? I don't think so.

Me too, I guess we are crazy. And if they give 2 first rounders for Tippet, that would be crazy too.. They should wait til next year and give one.. Tippet and Clark have had quite a few poor/quiet games in the last couple of years..But YES, their potential it GREAT..

They didn't offer both picks - that story was false.

Ah well trade week radio has got it wrong then

Well, they got it wrong yesterday. And there's a very good chance you are listening to replays.

thats what i don't understand, why you are even interested in him in the first place.

is he better than sandi? i don't think so
better than griffen? maybe, prob not
better than z clarke? at the moment, but i would rather have z clarke in my list
better than braddley? probably, maybe.

so why go after him, and why even entertain a trade. I would have said Freo has no interest in recruiting clarke, and that if he wishes to come to the club he can do it through the psd if he manages to stay available until when freo are willing to use a pick on him.

Damian Barrett & Hutchy lies.....Here you go....

Much of the Lions' trade week has been taken up with trying to finalise what is happening with big man Mitch Clark, who wants to go to Fremantle.
"We always said to Fremantle that we want their first pick (No.16) and preferably something in addition to it," Kerr said.
"They started with their end of first-round compensation pick, then they moved to pick 20 and now to pick 16.
"We are continuing to talk to them."
Clark's manager, Colin Young, will fly to Melbourne today, hoping to get a resolution before the close of trading.

I take it the missus doesn't get much foreplay?

U sir are wrong

 

[Stylus]

Wtf?! MFC twitter:

Agreement has been reached tonight to trade Brisbane player Mitch Clarke to @melbournefc for selection 12 in the 2011 National Draft.

 

[Bartram_Class]

As a Melbourne fan, stoked with that news.

Soon we will get his name right too.

 

[Purpellian Anchor]

lets start a new one picks 16 and 20 for Clark and Simon Black - that would be worth considering even if Blacky may only have a year or three left

 

[beez]

Wow, epic news. Awesome for Melbourne

 

[Defacto]

this is extremely good news for saints fans. rumors have been circulating that if the clark trade fell through, freo would look at dawson.

 

[yakka man]

Wow, shocked. Does that mean it is official? That must mean that Clark changed his mind about wanting to play for Melbourne.

 

[Chezzalenko Reborn]

I'm sure you would do the same thing. If you think about it there is nothing wrong with it at all.

Except he is a listed Lions player making statements on an opposition website. Nothing unethical about that at all

 

[Blue and Silver]

Wow, shocked. Does that mean it is official? That must mean that Clark changed his mind about wanting to play for Melbourne.

Either that, or he was umming and ahhing, Freo talked to him. He said "Yeah I want to play with you". They then released the statement as "I only want to play with you". Caused tensions which composited with the Lions wanting Melbournes offer.

I dont think anything can be official until Monday? no papers can be lodged

MFC havnt put things out there lately unless they are 100% though so seems pretty legit to me
