Done deal.

Its probably what they are after.

[Redleg 41,700]

We haven't done well with trades from the Pies. Our bloke plays every week for them and BK is now at Casey. Dawes and HL were busts.

I would be wary of taking even a so called good player from them.

Would be 30 by the start of next year, deffinalty an upgrade on Dawes and Pedo and wouldn't cost the world... Could be worth it on a 2 year contract while Weed fills out a bit more?

questionable whether he is an upgrade on Pedersen

I'm sure Weideman wil be happy to spend time at Casey "filling out a bit more" while a has-been like Cloke takes his place in the team. I don't see how, along with Hogan and Watts, you could fit all four.

I think Pedersen is under-rated. He adds a certain amount of hardness to the side when he's in, runs well and he's a good contested mark. 

[markc 975]

we had him last time , but eddie matched the offer , not sure we need him now , unless we trade out Dawes and Peterson 

would have to be at a massive reduced rate than his 1.1mill per year, 

he won't leave Vic , well I can confirm last time he had no intentions of leaving his family here , so lets see this time 

money will talk

bringing in trav would also mean bringing in his old man, so that's a double no from me (make that a quadruple no)

[DemonLad5 1,642]

terrible troll

[What 18,810]

Just imagining Cloke the dinosaur clogging our forward line and totally ruining the chemistry between Hogan, Watts and the rest. Couldn't think of a worse recruit.

[AzzKikA 2,371]

But seriously.....Would be a massive backward step, if we want him for a chop out in the ruck, then Pedo destroys him in that regard.

One of the more depressing aspects of D'land is seeing threads like this take up about 59 more posts than they deserve.

Couldn't keep up with the blitz our mids are dishing out.

I am sure the North Koreans would be happy to see the last of their Dear Leader and Trav would be far more benign I am sure. 

[Deeoldfart 8,082]

I don't have any inside knowledge, but I'm sure he would be on Richmond's radar. 

[FireOath 290]

Do people even think when they post some of these threads?

Cloke?

Vickery?

 

Come on guys. Plz.

Clokey might be a good fit for a different club next year.

Like Yarrawonga.

Haha well that was a negative response. My view was coming from the angle of we are still the youngest team in the league... it looks as if we are going to be cutting loose ped and or dawes at the end of the year, and what would happen if god for bid jesse went down for a few weeks next year and we had cut ped and dawes our forward line would be relying on hullett, weed and watts two of which would be still be teenagers.

Yes Travis has had a aweful year but maybe a change a scenery and role for Trav at a new club could resurrect his career in the final years and could be a valuable asset for the club ala Waite was for North. No one could have imagined him coming along as well as he did.

As a lot of the responses have been negative i must be in la la land since the hawks win so I guess the mods can shut this thread down.

Cheers

Haha don't be too down! This is a discussion forum after all! I think a lot of people on here also have a fair dislike towards him since seemingly every year it doesn't matter how he's playing he always seems to find a way to get up for us!

I think there are better options out there though. Could be quite funny though to see the look on Buckley's and Pies fans if he went to another club and did well! Loving Buckley's coaching there!

Wow look at those pretty birds.....

BANG

[junk 342]

He has become a fossil like Dawes,Dunn and co.

[Bigred 494]

I am 57 yrs old, 6'3'', 105 Kg

I have followed Melbourne since 1964

I can kick equally well with both feet (not well,.... but equally well)

My game is more 'Jacko' than 'Jezza'

I have no injuries, my drug screen is negative, other than antihypertensives and panadol and chardonnay

FOR God's SAKE. TAKE ME OVER TRAVIS!!!!!!

[Schneider 220]

Ha I remember when the Dawes trade was happening, or was it before that. A fair chunk of this board were wetting themselves over him... Although that was back when he was able to kick.

On another note, why do the other club boards refer to us as GoDees? Is that a dig at our supporters not knowing players names?

I noticed that also. It's simply what we shout at games.... Go Dees

I saw it on a Norf thread, but I smiled.

We wont hear their screams when they take that massive plunge that is imminent.

Richmond the front runners for Cloke, exactly what they need to get back to playing finals next season..
