Eddie is getting desperate....

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.

 

Everyone on this site seems to have a "very good source" on everything AFL apart from me!

Better widen your social circle

 

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...

Two wrongs don't make a right...

 

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?

Two wrongs don't make a right...

But two Wrights make an aeroplane.

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.

    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.
