Cloke and Collingwood - to part or not to part?


Satan

Recommended Posts

i hope melbourne does end up with him simply because it would give us one of the most potent fwd lines in the comp with Clark/cloke mauling defenders and Jurrah (provided his trial goes well) and others moving around! with clark and cloke up fwd one of them will get the best defender and that will leave the other to dominate. the only question is, is he really worth what he is asking??? at his best he definitely is, and hopefully he can rid himself of his inconsistency at melbourne. that being said anything is far from materialising and we will all have to wait till seasons end to see whether he stays or goes. But the fact that contract talks were put off till seasons end doesn't sound good for collingwood as history proves!!! couldn't happen to a more deserving team haha

Cloke dislikes Buckley and wants to go to Carlton with MM. This is the general concesus around the AFL traps. Source-Adam Kingsley's (St Kilda assistant coach) dad

Davi Rhys Jones had a lunch with Sticks yesterday and Sticks asked him for his opinion about Cloke. Jones replied with "If he can win you a premiership get him!" Source-David Rhys Jones who I bumped into at the liquor store yesterday

Make of it what you want........

Vague comment - 'if he can win you a premiership?'

What does that mean? Cloke's credentials are there to see. Premiership CHF, can play, power forward.

Sounds like bs to me, no offence.

As I said take it or leave it but I'm giving you word from the horse's mouth and if you won't believe that then you won't believe anything champ!

Not having a go at you, D, it just seems a silly comment to come from someone who calls footy and knows the game.

Your mail is old news its been hotting up for a long time now and we have been in there for months and months, if not longer. :)

This plan was hatched long, long, long ago. Just like a few other little plans we shaw come to a fruition last year - hatched long, long, long ago. B) Its pure poetry in motion.

The theatre of modern football. :wub:

In a galaxy far, far away...

Close has been an absolute spud this year, whatever he had a couple of years ago he has totally lost.

Fingers crossed we don't get him as he will be a total liability.

Throw the big dollars at midfielders please, not big gooses like Cloke

Plan A - Get the best midfielder(s) through FA

Plan B - Get Cloke through FA.

If Plan A isn't going to happen, are we allowed to move to Plan B?

I don't know.....is just that I'm very nervous about Cloke...nothing to like about him this year.

Just sayin, I'd rathers throw the dollars at Boak, or Sewell.

Boak will cost Pick 4. Cloke will not.

Sewell is attainable even if we land Cloke, if we can convince him to come.

...removes the need for a NQR tall (spencer,martin ect) as back up ruck to jamar...

I'd say we'd still play another tall, just as Hawthorn do in Hale. Don't go putting someone like Cloke in the ruck.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
