A very good source has informed me that Eddie has been in contact with Vlad to try and set up a "Judd type" deal to Keep Cloke at the Filth.

A supporter is prepared to "sponsor" him as a third party.

This must not be allowed to occur.

The AFL has already said no to us last year.

Keep your eyes and ears open & if anything comes of it Vlad must resign.

I hope the MFC are onto it.

    The Judd deal is a disgusting rort of salary cap rules, from a club that has a history of rorting the salary cap (throwing stones in a glass house, I know). How they ever got this through, I'll never know. A Bomber friend of mine (I like to help the people sometimes) has a theory that the AFL copped too much flack for cracking down on Carlton's salary cap escapades and gave them this deal as a sweetener.

    Yes, but generally our guesses turn out to be just as accurate ;-)

    Even Carlton people are amazed the Judd deal still exists. Which is probably why Eddie is pushing hard...

    Wouldn't Cloke going to Carlton be a far more attractive offer to Vlad?

    Carlton V Collingwood next year was already going to be huge, throw Cloke switching sides into the mix, the marketability and interest would be epic.

    I don't care about that. I want Vlad accountable if a 3rd party deal is brokered.

    It was vetoed last year.

    If Eddie is panicking I can understand why.

    IMO whenever Cloke has been down on form so have the Pies.

    I know a team is more than one player

    But Cloke makes their forward line without him they are average.

    If he leaves who kicks the goals at Collingwood.

    2013 and beyond without Cloke will become very ordinary for the Pies.

    A small part of me wants Eddie to be successful with a deal for Cloke.

    But a bigger part wants Cloke at Freo or Carlton.

    I have heard that not only Judd, but many of his immediate family, are in the employ of the cardboard empire. Even including Mrs Judd (not the WAG).

    Rort?

    I hope Cloke does leave, get those collingwood supporters off the high horse.

    I heard something similar. Disgraceful episode by the AFL.

    Judd deal really smacks in the face of the salary cap ... should never have happened

    True and they won't let it happen again, Eddie or not.

    The Afl has allowed Luke Ball to manipulate the draft to end up at Collingwood, it has also allowed Carlton to rort the salary cap with Judd. Seems to me the big boys get away with whatever they want, but should Melbourne FC want to do a Judd like deal to keep Scully or manipulate the draft to get Viney at a later pick the AFL comes down hard.

    The Draft and Salary cap are the only things keeping this comp remotely even, big clubs have boundless money compared to the minnows of the comp to spend on coaches, medicos, sports science, facilities, end of season altitude training trips. By letting the big boys abuse the only two systems in place it makes it impossible for small clubs to compete without begging members for money, the AFL should be ashamed.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
