Parma 28 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 We have room in the salary cap and draft picks. Who is out of contract and on our radar? I for one want CLOKE, then the forward line is complete for the next five years you can lock it away and worry about the midfield and defence which is really getting better.

I for one want CLOKE, then the forward line is complete for the next five years you can lock it away and worry about the midfield and defence which is really getting better. In the Cloke poll started by RR , around 45 - 47% voted for us to go get Cloke . Clark missing last week (and the rest of the season) underlines the value of a good key forward . Somewhere there is a list of the free agents and in amongst them are quite a few midfielders - that's what we need . Cloke will come at a hefty price but I'd be very happy if we snared him .
olisik 4,060 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 i reckon we give Kerr an extra 100 or 200k per season. He is a free agent, bursts from packs and we could milk a season or 2 out of him to help out our mid-field. Wont need to give up any draft picks either.

So long as West Coast are a chance for the flag, I can't see him going anywhere. But I'd definitely prefer to see the club target a credible midfielder instead of Cloke

BIG JIM 508 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I think we should top up our mids with maybe S.Black and B.Sewel and watch Toumpas,Viney and Trengove grow into a force under there guide. The MFC is in need of players like Black IMO and this will fast track the whole team.

Boak, ($$$$$), > (Mid Rnd Compo Pick + one of Beamer/Sylvia). Or, U-17 Mini Draft (Hogan) > (Mid Rnd Compo Pick + one of Beamer/Sylvia). Or, Trade Beamer > (Bombers-19)/(GWS-18)/(Suns-24) Get Chapman $$$$, to aid our young mids. Boak & Chapman, + young draftees, + a mature tall forward, not cloke.
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Apart from Clark (and Jurrah) we have no consistent goal kickers. We cannot kick winning scores. We need two forwards - a big one who can take marks and kick and a smaller one who can gather crumbs and kick.l

I know him pretty well and he did a pre season with Melb who promissed him ha would be picked in the rookie draft. Brisbain beat us to the punch. Another one lost.

I have little to no knowledge of contract status. Those are the 2 names for mine that stand out from the rest I'd love to see this club throw money at.

Wellingham is the player St Kilda knocked back for Ball and in the end got nothing for. Not the best of moves but says what the Saints list management thought of Sharrod.

Of course, there is another option - that St Kilda's list management guys were just lousy negotiators
