With respect Cloking Device if " Team Cloke " walk away from discussions and make themselves unavailable then CFC had no choice .

Remember the team is bigger than the individual

I got no problem with that, what else could they do.. but it just doesn't achieve the objective of hosing it down or putting the race for the flag back on track.. it's the only option but it's a wet lettuce leaf

Where is Cloke in all this?

Put him up at our next press conference and let him sweat it out a little i recon..... he's part of the leadership group, after all? right?

Where ya hiding Travy boy? under someones beak?

Looking forward to 6.20pm tonight.... hopefully he's dropped... his form has been sub par for a 'million' dollar player.

Hit the nail on the head. The guy is hiding, he is vice-captain, put him in the media and let's hear see how he handles it.

All the kid is doing is trying to negotiate his new contract, shouldn't be baying for his head on a plate over that.

However, his current contributions on the field have been shyte and I feel supporters are typically well within their rights to speculate and criticize on that.

We always do

Doubt very much if this is true.

Were it true, I'd see little alternative to dropping Travis given his current form. That may sound radical but there is nothing to gain if a player is on the field and not talking with the coach.

Sure Bux is far too mature and professional for such a situation to develop, (he is 40 after all hee hee).

In my opinion, those alone, could potentially drive Cloke from the club.

true, but seriously, with all the shit that has happened this year with twitter, why are high profile people on it? or anyone for that matter.

a certain greek lady sure wishes she had never heard of it today!!

if you write it its out there people, there is no such thing as DELETE!!

Cloke is gone but who knows, he may just surprise us all and stay. Highly doubtful I know. If he doesn't perform then he needs to be dropped.

Mick, it was the number 33 that had us calling him Chad Liddel from that first NAB Cup game!!!!
(funnily enough, David's Cloke's number at the Pies also.......)

Nathan Buckley wasn't playing for the biggest club in the land.

He was playing for an expansion team who at the time was a rabble.

He left after one season not after 7 years of time, effort and money had been spent developing him.

He left in the hope of premiership success not money.

Dude, that was a line trotted out to stop him being charged with draft tampering.
He was a Collingwood player before being drafted by Brisbane, and as someone else stated earlier, the Bears took him anyway in the hope of convincing him to stay at the end of that 1 year.

LOL - Troy Lehman and an over-the-hill Craig Starcevich!!

Well said.

^^ The Clokes chose for this to be played out in the media, forums are a form of media i suppose, they can't go crying foul when it backfires IMO.
