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

You can always rely on Richmond to top up with spuds.

Didn't you hear? they are playing finals next year! Gotta top up with Cloke. After this years form their window is clearly opening.

They want to replace Ty Vickery who won't run, ruck or chase with Travis who can't run, ruck or chase.....

... or else they might not make the finals next year!  :wacko:

It's hilarious that this thread is still around. I apologise to all Demonlanders for adding to it and keeping it alive.

I very much hope that he signs with Richmond.

I'm convinced the entire club is some sort of long-term psychological study on the human capacity for self-delusion.

Richmond want Cloke? Oh, my God... they are the club that just keeps giving. 

A bit like when you think Trump can't go any further off the deep end, he finds a way to surprise you.

I'd rather have Cloke on our list than Dawes.

If we can trade Dawes to Brisbane for a pick, then trade that pick onto the pies for Cloke, I'd be totally fine with that.

He'd take some attention away from Jesse and Jack, until Weids is ready.

Neither would be better.

The footy gods will hopefully deliver them both to Richmond for the laughs.

Finally someone that agrees with me!!!! 

Weids is a good 2 years off decent footy cloke can fill a void and take pressure of Jesse.

Cloke will be a much better player once he gets out of Collingwood. Having a boss / coach who doesn't rate you destroys your confidence and your enjoyment of your job.

I'm not saying we should go after him, especially for the salary he will want, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't have a markedly better season in 2017 if he can get to a decent team with a decent coach.

Saw him at the Coles Express filling up his Holden Ute. 

Young footballers on hundreds of thousands a year, and this bogan buys a ute?

No.

That is daylight robbery for Collingwood. No way are the Bulldogs that dumb.

 

...oh, they did put Tom Boyd on $1M a year after his debut season. Maybe they aren't as smart as I thought.

Stevens says Cloke for Lin Jong. Massive win for Collingwood.

Depends on the details. If Collingwood pick up a chunk of Cloke's salary then they get a ready made replacement for Redpath who is out for a year with an ACL.Takes a bit of the heat off Boyd as well.

Jong is expendable at the Dogs. Their midfield stocks run deep. I expect they will be gearing up for a serious crack at the title next year while Murphy is still playing. So if you add Cloke, who would be structurally important, a returning Crameri and perhaps convince Boomer to have his last hurrah with them, that forward line looks a lot more potent.

And Cloke was okay on Sunday. Interestingly he seemed to mark with more surety when he removed the glove (after quarter time I think).

I'd do it if I were Footscray. Better Cloke for that role than Butcher or Vickery

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?

No way.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
