I think everyone in the AFL except for Geelong think that. It's seven places back from where he was drafted, and he is currently a fringe player, injury prone, and was out of favour at Geelong. Geelong are the ones posturing being d$%ks, not us. And we did the Cerra deal in days, in reality for unders. The whole contracted/uncontracted is a bit of a smokescreen anyway. Its a 'break glass in case of emergency' to get to where you want to uncontracted via the PSD, no-one really pulls the trigger on that anymore...
This from earlier today,
-via SEN’s Sam Edmund said on Wednesday Clark recently had a “heated phone conversation” with Cats recruitment boss Stephen Wells.
“Things are reaching boiling point between Geelong and Fremantle over a deal for the half-back, winger that is desperately wanting to get to Fremantle,” Edmund told SEN Mornings.
“I can tell you in the last few days Jordan Clark and the list manager at Geelong Stephen Wells had a heated phone conversation where Jordan Clark told Stephen Wells in no uncertain terms, ‘I want this deal done’. Words to the effect of, ‘I’m not coming back. I’m desperate to get to Fremantle. Please make this happen’.
“To which Wells responded, again, with words to the effect of, ‘If we can find a deal suitable for both parties, we’ll orchestrate a trade. If we can’t, then you are contracted here, and you will be coming back to Geelong’.
“I’m told that shortly thereafter Jordan Clark hung up on Stephen Wells.
