No, I think he sees just fine, DTM, otherwise I reckon he does a great job of posting on Nicks.

Sitting at the table during the negotiations Dave? No? Then you know doodly squat except what you want to believe.

The club will survive without him. I'd be expecting the club to have a look at potential replacements after he most likely departs.

x 2, especailly the bolded bit.

Why not sack him now, we know he is gone.[/quote]

If we sack him, we won't get the compensation picks, so we need to keep hi on the books

Cheers, realised I made a mistake saying that. Dropping him however would be a bold, positive step forward.

I wish I could write what I want here, but in all honesty fck him.. He hasn't looked interested and from everything we have all seen its all about how much money he can get. We might struggle without him for a bit, but we were almost becoming one dimensional kicking long to travis, and now we can sign the reids sacks wellers types who want too and deserve to be here.

Also I like the performance based thing that they offered trav, that was the best way to go, can't believe he knocked that back. 900 a year or 1.1 your still living the dream, get over your self. Thing is he hasn't played like a 500k a year player this year, so 800 was still a joke. Trav might have the highest contested marks in the league right now, but don't mean squat when your not kicking 2-3+ goals a game playing full forward.

I really hope the other out of contract players stay now. IF trav really is going, reid has to bloody stay.. PLZ GOD. If we lost both of them would kill us

They didn't, they just said enough is enough, we have had enough of trying to come to an agreement we will focus on 2012 instead

Good move I think, let it be

I don't think it's a good move because the media are going to have a field day and deliberately will unsettle the club week in week out leading right into the Finals.

I like what someone said earlier, if Eddie and Co. know he is gone, let him play the rest of the season in the reserves. As much as I like him, stuff him as the club is bigger.

really when it's all said and done it'll be nice not to have to hold our breath every time he lines up..

Even in form his goal accuracy isn't good enough for the money he's asking

What do I tell my son who idolises Travis Cloke?

+1 another one.

I just think it's sad. Maybe I'll get as angry as some of you in time, but right now I'm just sad and really disappointed. I wanted so much for Travis, along with the whole team.

If he goes, I'm not going to enjoy seeing him playing for another team. It will be horrible.

eddiesmith's too worried about the prospect that Taz will play FF, now, to confirm anything.

It probably is Dave but the only source we can trust in these situations is the Club, so I prefer to hear it from them. And if that rumour is true, it will be picked up by the media and the club will be forced to make a statement sooner or later - probably sooner.
