Travis Cloke to Richmond? [merged]

Who was the poster that said he had it on good authority that richmond were going to go down the path of topping up and giving it one last crack? Seems he/she was bang on, this is an absolute stuffing joke if true

Do you need a science degree to figure out that this is what these losers are gonna do?

Well that's just......actually true.....

The Tigers are set to make a pitch for Cloke, who has been dropped to the VFL for the third time this year, with reports that the forward’s father David has already held initial discussions with the club’s list manager Blair Hartley.

Cloke’s father David, a two-time premiership player and captain of Richmond, acts as his son’s agent and The Australian revealed he had been in talks with Tigers list manager Blair Hartley, acting with the blessing of Hardwick.

So bad its embarrasing.

A new level of shame. What a joke this club is.

[eliminator]

The club will reach new depths if he is recruited.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I doubt I could stomach him as a FA, but to pay Collingwood via a trade for his services is ridiculous.

What has happened to our club? Have they completely lost their marbles?

At the risk of no holds barred abuse (which I can handle  ) Im not sure what all the fuss is about. At his best, he's a massive upgrade on Vickery and Griffiths - at least he has a friggin tank.
At worst, he plays a year in the reserves and gets delisted.
What is a better alternative?
Don't tell me it's anyone on our list and no one is available of any quality.
If he could get himself fit, he's running would allow Jack to play further back inside 50 and takes a tall defender away from double teaming Jack inside 50..

The only issue is what we trade for him - which should be stuff all.

What we need is a talented, young KPF who can develop for 2-3 years before taking over.

I guess it's because he has done SFA for the last 2 years as their number 1 forward. I know everyone compares his output to Ty and Ben but they are not our number one forwards. Jack is. Ben spends half the time around the ground and rucking. They've now done this to Cloke and he's been hopeless. Sure he may play the odd good game but we already have that with the 2 younger players mentioned.

Look what happens when we introduce kids. They inject excitement. The only thing the Clokes may introduce is excrement.
