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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
