Seven News reported tonight that Travis had agreed to go to Collingwood and the papers were about to be lodged.

4 year deal worth over $500,000.

Hmmmm 4 years? Let me see the Pies originally offered 2, we supposedly offered 4 - now the Pies have agreed to 4. It sure seems we were used to up the "ante" ala Sheedy.

Lets just wait and see if Travis does go to the pies. Anything signed as yet ?
If soon to be appointed coach Terry Wallace has anything to do with it,Travis could still be wearing yellow and back. ;)

Hutchy again stated at half time of the Collingwood Brisbane game that Travis Cloke HAS signed with the Pies for 4 years.

As reported it is for $500,000

$50,000 in the first two seasons and $200,000 in the last 2 years of the deal. The magpies have panicked after we offered the same deal to the clokes. David who is the manager of the 3 told the pies they would have to match the deal if travis was to play with them.

I bet Eddie had a fair bit to do with this deal, i could just see him telling their guys to sign him up at all costs to stick it up us. Well we may just have the last laugh, if he is as good as Jason and on $200,000 in years 3 and 4 they can have him.

If the reporter who reported this was Craig Hutchison, i don't think he's got much right lately.

I suppose we’ll eventually find out what’s really going on.  In the meantime, let’s get ready to ruuuuuuumble.

In the red corner, weighing in at a misleading, heavyweight status, we have Craig Hutchison, spruiking on Talking Footy last week that the papers had been lodged with the AFL and had been signed off by David Cloke, that Travis would be going to Collingwood.

And in the blue corner, weighing in at a status yet to be determined, we have Dwayne Russell, stating on 3AW, on Saturday night, that he had spoken to the Clokes, who said that no deal has been done yet.

A mismatch, or a case of the blind leading the blind?

If Travis has already signed with Collingwood, why keep up the charade?  That’s the bit I don’t understand.

I hope this doesn’t go the full painful distance.

Hutchy is getting a bad reputation for getting things wrong.

I beleive he was the reporter who wrongly named Kochitzky (sp?) as the player in the middle of the rape allegations earlier in the year.

It would be handy to get a tall solid KPP/Ruckman with a third round pick.  If they don't get him I won't be too concerned as long as they use the pick on a talented kid.
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

The rumour mill says the Clokes wanted to wait a couple of weeks after the U18 championships to give the illusion a decision hadn't already been made before or during the competition.

Jackstar tell us ya rumour aye. I liked the look of travis much differnet player than cameron and jason much tougher and stronger at only 17  ::).

I would love to get him. Im hanging on to that lil bit of hope and will dread the day a article comes out saying 3 sets of brothers or sumthin like that.

Spot on Harry. As long as they are talented then who cares who we get with our 3rd round pick. No one at Richmond has had a second thought about Jason Cloke once we got Cogs.
