Cloke??

[Coach]

Howe is not on much. Will be soon though

Is that the same Howe you didn't rate two years ago? You said something like he didn't have the tank or the smarts for AFL footy and would never make it in the big time Just saying......

thought I would read this one. No, I didn't say that. Always rated him. Didn't think he'd have the committment to play AFL and had good reason to think it as well. Now pull your head in, Jelly Belly Tiger.

He's done alright for himself

He was a wacko for us and still is for them, we should have drafted Jeremy Howe last year with the spot Sarge freed up, Howe is a gun

Jem happens to be from my local club (Dodges). He makes Sarge's run at Richmond look consistent....schulzy is a lot better than Jem has ever been

Howey is a super talent though and good luck to him. He had the chance to train with Coburg last year but didnt want to...his season at Hobart was fairly good but he went missing at times. He's got a poo load of work to do if he wants to be a regular at AFL level. I am surprised he went at pick 33

and he's put the work in and is reaping the benefits. Well done howey.

TFT, you wonder why you're on a lot of people's ignore lists....You make up poo and do almost nothing but troll. Big Footy is the place for you.

[Mr Magic]

His price is dropping. Good.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Travis Cloke would be massive.
2013, locked & loaded.

[one-eyed]

Just heard SEN replay a snippet from Benny Gale talking about Travis Cloke ...

KB: Would someone like Travis be on the Richmond's radar?

Gale: The Fighting Tiger Fund was designed to give us the capacity to not only reward and retain existing players but to bring new players to the club. If our list management dept. thought Travis would be a good addition to our club and at the right price and within salary cap structure then we would look at it. There would be other players in the same boat of course.

Oer, Daniel Harford also brought up the point that the number 33 has been rested for some time aand not in use. He was trying to elude to the fact they we were waiting for him to come down and waer his old mans number. Highly unlikey...

Tbh and fwiw want the club to make the right decision by firstly what we need but secondly by the existing core of players who are making something of this club. I have no doubt we can find great players to add to our club thru FA and OOC but it is crucial to not make any impact to the foundations we are laying we these kids now. Who have shown integrity, honesty and passion for the colours.

Cloke will sign with collingwood, that is my opinion.

I heard him say that too. Like you EEA I believe Cloke will stay at the Pies.

[smasha]

Well played Benny. 

[TigerLand]

Would prefer chasing a KP forward more around our core age group.

If we throw 900k at Cloke, think it could be far better spent on getting a Josh Kennedy back to Victoria. Or any other KP forward under 26 years of age - Hawkins, Hurley.

Unlikely getting them though.

I believe he'll stay at Collingwood too. But I was reading today on BF in the Freo forum that in some paper that Melbourne are trying to get him for $1.1million and 6 years. If that even happened then they would be paying around 20% of their total salary cap on two players. Good luck holding their young players in a few years if that were the case. Anything can happen when Schwab holds the cheque book.

Personally, arguments of age and if his best is past him or not aside, I'd love to see Goddard at the Tigers. But, same for Cloke any one else, I don't like the idea of chucking massive dollars at players. I don't want any mercenaries at the club. Leave that to Melbourne.

[Penelope]

beat me too it dwaino, Id read somewhere too that he was offered 1.1 per year for 6 by melbourne, and that colonwoood had offered 700k pa for 4 years.

The trick to bidding in auctions is knowing when to sit back and laugh at the bozos paying over the odds.

[dwaino]

I'd love Melbourne to commit to Cloke for 6 years at $1.1million a season. Going down injured would be icing on the cake, but the precedent it sets for their young blokes would be gold. I imagine if they were stupid enough to actually go for it, it would mean that any of Green, Sylvia etc would be chopped. But good luck when blokes like Trengrove start demanding a higher salary. 

[tigerwoods]

imagine the even greater hatrid between collingwood and richmond when we knock them off in a final with clokey #33 kicking 6 for the tiges.

[Ox]

The double agent legacy is alive and well

Put goddard in anyday, although he will be dumb/ loyal enuf to sign with saints
