Beams signs for 3 ... Cloke edges closer to Dees?

Right. Anytime someone posts a "mids mids mids" comment it will automatically receive one of these ...

We. Can. Get. Midfielders. And. Cloke. There. Is. Nothing. Stopping. Us. From. Trying. To. Achieve. Both.

I dont know if this has been said before but I reckon we do trade for mids & use Rivers, Bate & Dunn to get the best mids out of a teams like Collingwood Sydney Geelong or Hawthorn. Just do it.

 

Yep and how do they get it?? Mids. We could have Jesus H Christ there himself at FF and we would still struggle with our I50s which are amongst the lowest in the league. As well our delivery is bottom of the class.

He's too small for FF. Better as an inside mid.

Cloke is No#1 for putting the ball inside 50m at Collingwood.

Ha. Ha. No. They are FA's, and hold absolutely no value on the trade table. Try again.

Oh sorry didn't realise he was a mid!! :)


Mids are not the only ones to put the ball inside 50.

By having 2 power forwards 1 will be able to leave the 50m arc and get the ball themselves. Thats the wonder of it all.

who needs mids when you got forwards who go and collect it themselves :)

Can I just say that repeating a word does not increase the chance of winning an argument.

Oh oh..............forgot.....and politics too

I'm not sure if I heard correctly but I am sure that on Wednesday night, Gerard Healy said on 3AW that Melbourne had offered Cloke a 7 year deal. Please tell me I dreamt that.....

All I can say: the thought of Travis Cloke on a hard lead outside 50. Mark. Swing around on his left foot with a quick, long, penetrating kick into a one on one contest to Mitch Clark makes me salivate.

Get all his good attributes and don't need him shooting for goal. :) Hope it happens....

You are mistaken. He has been offered a 17 year contract. That way he is out of other club's reach when he becomes eligible for free agency for a second time.


You would have to ask if Cloke is actually worth the money mentioned he certainly hasn't had a stellar year. In Tonight's game against North he has racked up 10 possessions for 3 points at 3 quarter time.

Dawes has 6 possessions for nil score at the same time.

Not exactly the twin towers they were supposed to be.

Don't go near him!

Imagine if we got his mate?! The big doofus beside him?

Still wouldn't mind Cloke though...

hahaha you beauty , my opinion is justified , you mugs still want no smoke cloke for a mill a year ? as good as a man short from what i seen tonight , bloody useless , as was dawes who lots on here were crying out for not long ago , lol legends , bah and you have a go at the recruiting team pppphhhhhtttt

Imagine if we got his mate?! The big doofus beside him?

Still wouldn't mind Cloke though...

Not saying that I want Dawes, but good lord, he'd be useful in our current undersized forward line. At least for the 2nd half of the year temporarily anyway. Then I'd like to hand him back. At no cost, of course.

Can someone arrange this please?


With our list and the front loading of contracts, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't have 2-3+ mill left in our salary cap next year to front load a major contract or 2 or 3 - be it Cloke, be it Goddard, be it Boak.... Whoever is available we have so much cap room to fit them in for major deals without upsetting future contracts. I don't understand why people here are scared to offer big payloads to get us to our club that mya, just may help lift us up off the canvass. I don't care who we upset at other clubs, nor which of 'senior' players get a shake up because we will pay an outsider huge coin, our football club needs the best players we can get our hands on now, not what might be when our "window" opens - our "window" will open much sooner if we have better footballers playing, seems simple to me

nice vino ?

I think its much liklier that he will be signing for carlton

they can have him, he's not worth the money he's asking

 

Cloke last night failed because of poor service. The Pies midfield were inefective and their kicking to him was poor for a change. Put him in our side with our current setup and skill level he would be completely useless. The thought of a 7 year contract, Arrgh!

The money is not an issue - Green gone frees up $400-500K/year as will Moloney or Sylvia if either of them go. Davey has one year left and is on $500-600K/year. We have money to burn for the next couple of years might as well spend it rather than pay 92.5% of the cap or give it to players to beef up their contracts when they dont deserve it.

Cloke playing 40-80metres from goal leading up to the wings with Clark playing 0-40 out and being dangerous around the goals will be great for our structure.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
