Cloke and Collingwood - to part or not to part?

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,927]

My gut feel is the cub will offer Cloke 6 years @ $1.1 million per season.

If that means we win more than 6 games a season, I'm in.

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.

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

Yep (sorry, I was somewhat ambiguous)

I'm not having you on for a laugh, this is legit! Both things are legit

Okay, let's hang on and see what unfolds.

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.

In a galaxy far, far away...

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Now the Crows have joined in.....Eddie is having uncomfortable bowel movements atm.

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

Now Adelaide have joined in!!!

So is Eddie just gonna declare war on the entire AFL now???

[PaulRB 6,411]

Hopefully we have a plan B.

[olisik 4,060]

Hopefully we have a plan B.

[DeeZee 7,445]

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.

Get them both.

Cloke will come for coin - free agency

Boak for coin and Pick 12

Too easy.

[Adam The God 30,403]

The mail is .... Operation Get Cloke is hotting up at the Deez.

I thought it was Operation Malthouse, smokescreen Cloke?

Boak will cost Pick 4. Cloke will not.

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

[Adam The God 30,403]

...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.
