What time?

[Little Richard 6,262]

On now?

[waikikkamukau 62]

Just Started, he hasn't been on yet!

[darkhorse72 1,906]

For those that wont see it, can you give a summary please.

For those that wont see it, can you give a summary please.

Also for those who can watch it but choose not to because King and Lynch are useless, thanks.

[jumbo returns 6,740]

No offer to Cloke - not coming here...straight from the horse's mouth.

[McQueen 17,864]

Neeld just confirmed Cloke will not be at the Dee's next year.

[Little Richard 6,262]

Spoken about media scrutiny, the fact that he doesn't see all of it (though it seems like he is pretty aware of what is said) and the unreliability of a lot of it. Praised Clarks attitude and positive effect on the squad. Hinted at experience and roles influencing the way we go about free agency and improving the list at that time. Said he wasn't comfortable talking about Cloke and said 'There hasn't been an offer from the MFC and he's not coming here'. Explained that experience is not just 40 games into a player but 40 good games etc. Something about other coaches but didn't quite catch that!

[Brian Wilson 331]

Hope that Landers get a hold of this interview to watch. The key message is that our list requires two seasons to develop but it has to be done the right way.

Of course, that will be lost in the headline that Cloke is not coming to Melbourne.

[waikikkamukau 62]

Also said that they would be looking at experienced players if they perfectly fit what they were after and it would take a fair bit to relinquish the draft picks we have.

he just said that he admired the way damien hardwick has built up his list gotta alot of respect for him.

TRAVIS CLOKE IS NOT COMING TO MELBOURNE BTW

[jumbo returns 6,740]

As expected....nothing new here.

[waikikkamukau 62]

As expected....nothing new here.

Apart from categorically saying that we were not looking at TC. Unless I've missed something!

[Sir Why You Little 36,990]

Trade month & draft day will be busy.

If it aint Cloke is it Goddard??

We have the war chest.....

Phew!

2012 is not all bad after all.

[Nasher 33,607]

Please tell me he didn't say anything about reality checks!

Goddard will go to Fremantle if he leaves St. Kilda. Cloke's off to Carlton. Boak's off to Geelong, and Caddy's off to either Essendon or North Melbourne..

I'm forecasting an underwhelming trade period..

It can't be. If it is we may as well pack it in right now.

there is no way caddy is going to essendon they have nothing to give i think our pick 13 would get the deal done

[Guest King Cuthbertson]

Well, it doesn't mean we can't have a crack. We've got the picks to go after the likes of Boak and Caddy if we wanted to...but i'm not getting the impression that the stars of the competition are clamouring to sign with us just yet..

We got Mitch Clark, so who knows...

[Guest King Cuthbertson]

true. It would be tough for them to do a deal. North might be better placed...I'm sure we could do a deal that would satisfy GC if he chose to return to Melbourne, but all reports suggest he has his heart set on Essendon.

Perhaps someone should tell him we have a three game winning streak against them..

[Sir Why You Little 36,990]

The CEO should be going flat out right now.
