Purps, Big Mac, MTTY et al ... would you guys want Melb to pay 'market value' (whatever that is??) for Frawley to keep him at the Dees??

450k a year (which is what I think he should get, and that's being kind), then in a heart beat sure.

Would much prefer to keep him than lose him... but Pick 3 would wipe my tears away somewhat.

Is all in Clark's court... only two results, 1) I flowering love you or 2) I don't rate you as a person.

So Clarke retired so does that mean that the Dees wont get anything for him??

He is still on our list so we can trade him

[Nige]

Looks like we're getting him. Not sure we need him would have preferred Carlisle, Frawley or a clearance midfielder

Saw this on Twitter.

[Mailman the 2nd]

Yeah from what I've heard, if he does come back Melbourne can trade him

Clarke wouldn't even get a game in Hawthorns forward line lol

He could probably do the David Hale role pretty well.

Can understand the hate from Melb supporters on MC for saying he wants to stay at MFC and leaving, but not the hate from others/media for him chasing money/wanting to go straight into a successful team. Its the AFL world we live in now with FA. Players have every right to chase the mega bucks or want to fastrack their own premiership chances. And honestly, if playing at a successful club/getting a bigger pay package helps Mitch with his depression, then its good for him. Loyalty still has a place in the AFL, but Mitch had only been at the club for 2 years and played 15 games, so he may not have that connection to the MFC.

Pretty much what Spuddy did. Could have gone to GWS and been the face of the club and all, racked up big dollars. But once Sydney offered him that ridiculous deal, he was never gonna say no to another chance at glory sooner rather than later.

Based on his form the last 2 years, he's worth no more than 500k. If we pay upwards of 550k for him, then no I wouldn't want us to keep him.

Ideally I want him on our list, but as Purple said pick 3 would be sufficient in return.

This was quite a poor comment from Ross Lyong

I know he didn't take the Freo deal, but sour grapes shouldn't be an issue when it is dealing with depression

[Capper]

Still he biggest problem with Clarke is this he hasnt played for a while due to an injury. Is he over that injury? Can he play? How long can he play for?

He certainly doent have the match fitness and will struggle for a season

Glad the Swans and Giants wont go after him

[Purple 77]

Attention everybody everywhere (I'm sadly looking at some journo's too)... it's Mitch Clark, there is no e!

Lol, just a pet peeve I have, it's the same as people saying Trengrove instead of Trengove :P
