Get over the family, get over David Cloke leaving the Tigers, just get over it!
If we can get him at a decent price we need to try, with him, Riewoldt, Vickery(when he is on), crumbers like Edwards, Nahas and King.....we will have the best forward line in the comp, the best midfield and with one more made back.....WHOA.....Look out!!!!
Not worth the pricetag PNGQ.
Look at it this way its like someone is putting a pricetag of $20000 on an EA Falcon and that person putting the pricetag knows you have every model Falcon bar that one since 1961.
Moral to the story is this. The EA Falcon was seen as progressive for its time has not stood the test of time and has not aged because they are no longer on the roads and have been seen as one of the worst ford falcon models ever produced.
To draw that comparison with Cloke. Yes we may be seen as active and aggressive but the flaws that exist with this guy and the baggage that come along with it will only hinder the finances of this club which has worked hard in the last few years to reduce its 6 million dollar debt. Furthermore the irony of paying overs for him when his old man left the club and the club were dumb enough to go into a bidding war 30 years earlier will show that the club have not learnt from the past and are still making terrible mistakes in the boardroom.
Ultimately it really does not matter if you don't have the EA so long as you have an XA 351 or an XA hardtop Superbird or an XB 302 hardtop John Goss Special which is our Lids, Cotch and Dusty.
