It seems that Cloke has never been a part of our plans despite all the media and Demonland speculation.

I find it extraordinary that the "big boys" on here spent 300+ posts trying to work this out.

Even the media 'speculation' was more of a name check

ROFLMAO

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

    That's the spirit !!

    Probably boring when compared to the recruiting discussion about Cloke, Boak, Caddy etc - but it'll be interesting to see who we pick with our rookie selections this year.

    arent there NO rookies in 2013...just an extended list ?

    Of course we were. The Clokes rebuffed us. Of course we will then say we were never interested to save face.

    The way it goes. We move on.

    Of course you know that and Neeld is a liar. He certainly seemed definite in his statement.

    Now I don't know this but my take is they don't think he fits the clubs plans moving forward and just maybe putting to much money along with the length of contract in one players hands would unbalance the list strategy.

    Or we offered, they stalled, we saw how poor his form was and how he couldn't recover it and withdrew the offer...

    Has David Mackay signed a new conract with Adelaide?

    Would love it if we could get him to rotate off half back and through the midfield.

    Was thinking we could try and secure him through a three way deal that would of seen Stef Martin go to the filth as has been rumored.

    re-signed with Adelaide yesterday I believe..

    I reckon there could be some truth to this. Remember when Neil Craig flagged interest in Cloke a couple of months back in an interview??

    I mean, we've got the cash and we wouldn't have had to give up draft picks. You'd be mad not to have a crack..

    Don't worry, we had a crack. He doesn't want to come to Melbourne.

    It's Collingwood or Carlton with Freo the only other chance at this stage.

    Cloke & Son to Carltank is a done deal.

    They'll both walk away with gigantic cardboard boxes full of money for there trouble.

    Don't be so naive.

    No doubt we had a serious crack.

    Neeld would have been asked to "say very little" on the show about it.

    That is my understanding BB

    But not certain it is true or I dreamt it.

    Hell I hope we are not having the same dreams!

    Thank God we are not after Cloke. Boguns of the Scully order...

    Gosh. Who'd want to be an assistant coach? Those poor sods cop a hiding in the Coaches' box..

    Still, I like the way Neeld operates. He's got the 'mad stare' all good coaches have..

    There was a thread recently talking about how stressed they are, now I see why.

    Not quite sure of the point you are making here IRW, apart from the fact that it's easy to come in after the fact in order to prove that 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing. We all (big and small) speculated on an outcome, and the thoughts were that we either did or didn't want him at the club... I don't think there was much speculation about it being a done deal or not.

    Well, i'm sure Neeld could sympathize to some extent. He probably had more than his fair share of telephones being thrown in his direction sharing a box with Malthouse for four years.

    Thanks for that, I'd not seen it before.

    That "sense of urgency" line made me smile, it should be tattooed to Watts' forehead.

    .......and Cale, Brent - if either ever play for us again.

    I agree to a degree with your reference to JW, but part of the apparent lackadaisical approach MAY be that he is good enough to look as if he has more time than most others.

    MN is one hell of a scary guy - looks to have spooked #22 out of his wits.

    This development suggests that we are already talking deals with the Pies.

    That can only be a good result for us.

    We are in for a fun trading period.

    I bet someone is calling Ratts as well.

    How singularly uninspiring/unimaginative and morose.

    No wonder we cant get motivated, no wonder we are where we are! Pffft.

    in case no one seen this video.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

      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.
