I'll be here all week

Thats disappointing.

I'd prefer PJ over Cloke as a last resort.

Thats disappointing.

Need a facebook 'like' button for this!

Thats disappointing.

haha I'll be here all year.

Get over it princess.

There once was a poster from demonland

Who went by the moniker of E25

They say he was quick by foot and hand

Until one day he took a dive

Only joshing . .

Have a look at your opening post E.

"I'm not sure he is much worse than other's that are up for offer", or something to that effect.

Point is he is a lot worse than the other ruckmen that have been put up for trade. Hale and Jacobs are

the only two ruckmen I can think of. Who are the other's that are 'almost' as bad as Cloke?

Maybe you needed to re-word it champ. It seems you are the only one who 'gets' the OP.

What does that imply...

+ 1 as much as I hate to say it.

I agree too.

ONCE AGAIN, I was highlighting the fact there is not much to choose from out there. And what there is available is all relative to what you'd have to pay for it.

PJ is about the same standard.

Minson. Hale. Trent West. Josh Fraser. Fabian bloody Deluca.

Even the hakws, desperate for the same, took WADE SKIPPER last season.

If you mention Cox, you have to take into account what you give up for him.

SO, as stupid as Cloke sounds, he's not that much worse than our best option.

Doesn't mean I'd take him. And I'm ok with that.

I think we just need a body in there while we bide our time waiting for Gawn, Spence & Fitzy.

I also happen to think Fitz will be a lot closer next year than most people may think.

I'd prefer the doorman over Cloke as a last resort.

So under this logic you'd think that Cloke is worse than out best option.... so you wouldn't take him. so what is the point of this?.

I could start a thread like this

I think that Setanta O'halpin is worse than Liam Jurrah, so i wouldnt take him.

You ask people to read between the lines. I think you think that your like some Demonland Danny Ocean, but in the stupid thread creation stakes you are First Class my friend

It was a joke thread that cloke was out of contract, with then a segway into the fact that there isn't much out there and we don't really need much anyway.

Christ, you can't allude to anything on this forum cos 90% of the readers aren't smart enough to pick up an idea, they need to be spoon-fed.

Not you naan bread.

(yeah, it's a stupid thread - so? Aren't the majority on this board at this time of year??)

Mate you are the only one defending your post.... Can you not just say, 'yes it was silly and didn't really come out the way I wanted'.

Hale is far better than Cloke, we won't have to pay a great deal for him I wouldn't have thought, he will make you happy (because apparently all

you want is someone to bust packs in the forwardline), he can ruck better than PJ and can play forward unlike PJ.

So yes, there are better options out there.

You my friend are the one who is not smart enough to concisely get your point across. The proof is in the pudding with the amount of people who

have missed your 'obvious' point.

It's okay to be wrong.... hush now.

P.S. I did like your boosh quote.

someone please throw E a life-bouy, he's going down quicker than linda lovelace

Haha, love it.

Yes it was silly and it came out exactly the way I intended.

So your justification for starting thread of the year with the worst possible drafting idea I have heard, making no sense, back flipping, forward flipping and trying to pretend that what you wrote did actually make sense. is that you are too smart for 90% of people on this forum????

This is just the thread that keeps on giving!!

Forgive the poor guy.

He cannot have his forum rep tarnished.

Yep, it entertained me too.

So, by your summation, it is not possible to have a thread based on a jocular premise that simultaneously alludes to a more meaningful concept..?

I contend that only idiots would have believed I was serious about Cloke.

Anyway, it generated some debate, which was the point.

Shame it degenerated into a swarm of insults directed at me... but I guess when I make others look like fools so often, they then clamour to find a way to get back at me.

That's the last thing I'd ever be worried about!

Hence the current state it's in.

... but I guess when I make others look like fools so often . . .

Correction: "try to"

... they then clamour to find a way to get back at me.

Bravo! At least you "got" something

Ok, not really...

But at the same time, I'm not sure that he's worse than most of the other options available.

Most that are better would cost too much and likely be superceded by Gawn/Fitzy by the time we challenge for something meaningful.

- And this is not the time to bring up old rumours about the Clokes and their questionable habits!

If this is not the most ridiculous post you have ever made it would be the second most-

E25... you are turning this fine place into a shambles with your constant moronic threads and posts.

Please sit back for a bit and take a breather if you will. I'm not holding my breath though...

Tell us more about why Davey shouldn't be captain.

Go on.

Well, I held my breath for a whole 1 minute...

I hate to say it but I'm going to back up E25 here.

I'm not a big wrap for Cameron Cloke at all but he does fit the bill for what we're after and if we can't get a reasonable deal for a David Hale, Will Minson or Josh Fraser type then Cameron Cloke should be considered in the rookie draft.

Ok you can all abuse me now. Although in my defence I did only get 4 hours sleep last night and am really struggling through my last hour of work.
