Cloke??
« on: May 16, 2012, 01:36:05 PM »
Should we be making a big play for Cloke??

Is he what we need with Jack?

only if your happy to over the odds for him.

Just putting it out there al, we do need a big name player IMO..would rather have a back man but I would also take a forward too.

We can afford him.

We would be silly not to at least speak to his management, but as Al implied, if he were to leave Collingwood it would most likely be for stupid money.

Him and Jack in the forward line would look orright, though.

Agree, we must at least speak to his manager.

if cloke leaves collingwood he will go to the highest bidder. to get him we would have  pay way over his worth.

don't forget what effect this would have on current team members. lids signed a five year contract worth what he probably could have got on a three contract on the open market.

bringing in someone like coke on a hugely inflated contract wouldn't sit well amongst the players, IMO

You would think if he does leave he'd want to move as far away from the toothless collingscum club & supporters as possible.

Which is his Father David, who seems to very happy shopping his son around to the highest bidder. Though I seem to recall that David left a club that had looked after him rather well for more money..so maybe it's a family trait

I am not sure he is worth $1 mil a season which is what it's going to cost you minimum

And then with Travis you get the whole clan incuding dad Damir oops I meant David

Dawes would probably be better value for money, but id wait and see how elton and astbury come along during the year before splurging out and trying to poach someone

he'd play millers role with more potential upside. He works hard, takes contested grabs when in form, and is a reasonable kick for goal. he can also pinch hit in the ruck.

I'd take him for the right price, but i wouldnt be going out and actively chasing him at this point in time
