Hunter Clark

[diddley]

Insider trading on afl.com.au is saying that Hunter Clark may be a trade option.
I personally don’t want him gone. He needs a consistent run of games and will be brilliant.
Thoughts?

[SaintJohno]

Yeah saw that this morning, hopefully just rumour of clubs being interested in him. Of course they do. Would be just very STK to see him do a preseason at another club and come out looking buffed up like Jaeger O'Meara.

[SaintPav]

He is contracted so the club has the upper hand.

[skeptic]

Would be a terrible loss

One of the few we have that looks like they could be proper elite if he could get his body right

[Vortex]

I'd be interested for a seriously gun midfield trade.

[magnifisaint]

Let's swap him for Kyle Hartigan.

Huge year for Hunter coming up.

Would not be surprised if he is testing waters to get a new start somewhere.

It would be a shame to see him go, but if we were offered GC first pick (like they did for Weller) , I'd take it and draft a pure mid.

Short of that, I'd prefer him to do a big preseason and come out firing.

Also reporting that GC are interested in Long

IF... Hunter wants out the question is why. With Hill and Long does it represent a worrying trend of player dissatisfaction?

[CQ SAINT]

Get better players. Thats what has to happen. But you wanna be sure if you are trading frdpicked players. Lol, our record isn't good.

[bigcarl]

He’s 23 FFS and has had a wretched run with injury. I want him to stick around and become a great player for St Kilda, not someone else. Plus he’s contracted.

The players should be dissatisfied, they are stinking it up. Time for the entitled to take accountability or move on.

Clark looks out of place at St Kilda being dual sided and a smart footballer, could that be the reason?

Horrible move if Club generated.

I remember last season they were saying Coffield wanted out. This season they seem to have cast a wider net.

Clark's not free to leave, nor would the club in any shape or form be looking to trade him away, reports in media are totally unsubstantiated.

So much scuttlebutt around this time of the year, all these journos are just throwing stuff out there "look at me, look at me".....

Clark plus something for Ben King
Is it our first round pick, another player, swap of picks?
Suddenly Gold Coast may have too many tall forwards and Ben is coming off a knee

They would probably ask for a 1st round pick.

Absolutely this
This club trades Clarke and we’re seriously should fold
**** me he’s one of only 2-3 decent bsll users we have
Has time and space - is creative in making the play …if you trade that out ….just give it away ffs
Meanwhile butcher Jones runs round like a headless chook
Ross keeps kicking his haymakers
Billing’s too scared to actually take a 45 degree kick
So we trade out Clark ????
If the clubs shopping him they need their head read
Long too - the ONLY hard nut physical beast in the Stevie baker mould so no wonder clubs want him
They can see St Kilda have hit half developed talent that just need a professional environment…
This review better deliver and ffs Lade MUST go

He would want to get properly fit and AFL ripped.

He has all those qualities you listed, but you don't see them after half time currently

[Impatient Sainter]

He is a good player, but is he going to go to the next level? My answer would be No, as he is 24yo now and still has the body of an 18yo with below average aerobic capacities. He is not going to become the midfielder we all hoped and we have plenty who can play the HBF role, so if we can get a good deal for him I would trade him without question.

You’re not necessarily wrong but I think this post misses the bigger point here.

If we can’t turn players like Clark into stars, then as Teflon said, we may as well give it away.

The only way Clark should go is unless it’s for way overs or say part of the deal in to get Bing across. It should be one whopper of an offer

[Zed]

When you sit at 8-3 half way through the season and come home 3-8 then it’s no wonder players have had enough and want out.

Will be years before we go 8-3 again to start a season.

He was a top 10 pick
I will fair dinkum spew if all we get in return is a 2nd round pick after 5 or 6 years of investment.
If the club thinks they can rebuild through the draft they are kidding themselves . We got lucky last year but thinking we can do that again 2 years in a row is delusional

Swap Clark for Bing that would be a fair swap

[maverick]

Clark is not a good ball user, he should be and can be, but he is not.
He turns the ball over too much, both by possession and getting caught in possession.
Yes he has had injuries but he should have improved more by now.
Is that st kildas development capabilities or is it him?
I wonder
