I can't stand the Clokes. However, considering our current shortage of tall key position backmen I was wondering if anyone would be interested in Jason Cloke. By all reports, he had a very good year in the VFL. He may be able to match-up on some of the opposition monster forwards.

Considering we don't have anyone who can fill this role in the short-term, apart from Benny Holland who is ageing and injury-prone, Cloke could be worth the risk - it seems that he has sorted a few things out this year. If he has sorted out his soft [censored] attitude then he MAY be a reasonable pick-up.

Does anyone agree or am I just being an idiot??

    Cloke is not really a Key defender, more of a zonal one like Rivers. No point really to have him on our list.

    I'd take him only as an insurance policy.

    As we found out last year, you can never have enough defenders on your list.

    Much rather Sampi though.

    BBP,

    Insurance for what?

    If he is not good enough for AFL.....he is not good enough for AFL. Why fill your list with that?

    What we found out last year was that our defenders were not good enough and we have cleaned out a couple.

    You can never have enough GOOD defenders... You can have too much deadwood.

    Agree. The term "insurance" is only meaningful if your insurance is AFL grade. If your best defenders are out you might as well have some skinny kid filling in, at least then you might accidently uncover a gem. With someone like Cloke all you would be doing is filling your crack in the wall with water.

    Definitely pass.

    Why tell Bizzel to retire if we were planning on recruiting Jason Cloke!!!!!!!!!!!

    For sure.

    Not necessarily taking a crack at the OP here, but so many love to see the great 'depth' we have, when they're referring to players on our list that are mature, have some experience, but have been found to be not up to scratch.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
