We dont need Cloke...we would have him but do we need him?

Stats to date 2012 for Mitch & Cloke...

Yes he would be a great addition to MFC but at 5 Million no way......

We should invest in the midfield first.

Anyhow..take a look at the stats at Finalsiren.com

Sorry I cant post the stats so they are readable..proved a little hard.

Not that I'm saying get Cloke, but if we had him chances are those statistics could be better.

Not to mention that if 1 of them went down we'd still at least have another target, right now with no Clark we're back to where we were last year with no one to kick to in the forward line.

Some fella got 6 goals for Casey last weekend, think his name was Green

Yeah,have to agree..We just dont have a decent target now that Mitch is gone.So in that aspect he would be good but I just dont want to pay him that much coin.

As for Brad Green Olisik...unfortunately he is finished at AFL level.

Kicking six in the VFL is great...for casey.......... but in reality when was the last time he did that for us in Demons colors.....he will retire end of year IMO

Brad Green is gone, I hate to admit it as he is one of my all time favorite players but its time to go. I hope he proves me wrong and turns back the clock but I agree with Tapscott and he will retire.

Cloke is a must!

Get him in with our young midfield and we will start to see the wheel turn.

I think the Dees maybe looking at something like this;

Pick 3 - Draft (Grundy)

I think GWS could take him, but I am hearing they will finsh bottom and take Whitfield. Not sure if GC need another big bloke at the moment. They may take best midfielder.

Pick 4 - Travis Boak

Pick 13 - Draft

Pick 23ish - Jack Viney

Free agent: Travis Cloke

I would hate this out-come

No Stringer, Wines or Toumpas but we take another ruckman??

No way!

Been a good player but he's finished. He'll be lucky to get 6 more goals for the year in the Melbourne side.

Only has to do it it once then Howe once then Martin once then Garland once then rivers once then Watts once

Its the value of having some flexibility in the squad and not relying on one egg in the basket

Thats the sort of flexibility that the coach canuse if he has more than one game plan.

Of course it would be nice if they all played with Clarkes endeavour and determination but I am not sure that any of those above can sustain that sort of effort But then again either can Clarkeif he gets injured.

I think Brad deserves to go out in the firsts-and I think he will .

There is no one at the club who has been here longer than him-we should show him some love and ease him out the door -not push like we did Jmac .

awesome forward line with Cloke, Clark and Jurrah. IMO the exiting mids, Gysberts, Jones, Moloney, Sylvia, Mctagger and perhaps Couch would all lift for the occasion especially with the Neeld "Kick long to Contest" game plan.

Anyone who thinks Cloke is a good fit for our side hasnt been watching games this year.

Cloke is a must!

Get him in with our young midfield and we will start to see the wheel turn.

A midfield that this season is ranked one of the last for forward 50 delivery. Lets have two expensive players standing around all day in the forward 50 because we lack the class in the midfield to get the ball to them.

You get two classey midfielders out of other sides and you can have a hack taking marks alongside Clark, have Sellar attracting a few defenders and get a crumber.

i doubt Jurrah will play again to be honest. Nothing has made our midfield lift at any other time this season so why would they then? But Gysberts does have potential.

I hope you're wrong, NSC....Such a waste if this talented man doesn't realise his full potential.

Anyway, Cloke is ready to sign with the Pies so all this is hearsay.

The argument against getting Cloke is obvious. We should be spending the money on top quality midfielders. However, suppose there aren't any to be had in off season trading or free agency? A lot of money is going to be freed up in the salary cap next year. Green won't be there. Davey might not be there. Between them they must be making close to a million. The money has to be spent (or at least 92% of it has to be spent.) If not on Cloke, then who is the money going to be spent on? The sad fact is that there is no one on the list who deserves a fat contract extension or who could command big bucks on the open market.

Apart from Boak everyone on here must be in dreamland if they think we are going to lure Dayne Beams! Seriously, flag contender to bottom 6 to mid tier team! HAHA! KEEP DREAMING!

Boak is the only realistic midfield target that we can aim for this year, and Cloke would fit nicely at CHF, somewhere where we have broken down for the past 6 years! Cloke doesn't cost draft picks, just salary cap room. Boak costs picks

I'm not sure I understand this. Are you saying Beams wouldn't want to leave Collingwood because he'd be going from a flag contender to a lower ranked team but Cloke would?

SCOOP OF THE YEAR!!=JURRAH WON'T PLAY AGAIN....

let's all copy and paste this back to Norm Smith after Jurrah's next game.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
