Nah free agency the afl determines the worth based on how much the other club is paying him...

2 first rounders 100% with that

If he goes because of free agency we will get one first round pick.
Only chance to get two is if GWS sign him & they aren't interested.
Is that scenario right or am I misinformed?
I think you are right.

Still, I would let him go anyway.

Yeah so would I. But I don't think we would get two first rounders.

Yep, maybe he could add to the two that he took today.

Compensation would be shit unless he goes to GWS, but the extra cap space could be handy.

I think what I was trying to get at it is he needs to learn to play as part of a team... I am not sure he is at the moment.

The only team he is playing for at the moment is TEAM CLOKE.

Why do you like Duds playing at Collingwood?
Dave i think he means no one would take him, even for free because he did so badly.

and ill second that.

rip up the offer.

new offer $500.000 for 4 years, take it or leave it, no extras, and an out clause unless he kicks 5 a match for the rest of the year.

if he wont sign, play him in the reserves, in defence. and let him damn rot.

pissed at a lot of the attitudes out there today, but no more than his. no heart, no effort.

should equal no damn money.

he is already paid plenty, how about he earns it??

Cloke watch

Post by orie »

While I am as frustrated and disappointed as anyone about Cloke's lack of impact in the last several weeks, I believe that he is carrying an injury. He is not running hard or being as tough and aggressive at the ball or the man.. I may be naive. However, if he is not 100% give him a break next week. If they do leave him out, there may be truth in what I think... If not,I suggest Travis sign ASAP because the pressure is adding on his performance and value...

Two draft picks, salary cap relief, and not having to deal with his old man.

Yep on all three!!!!

We need two mids and a pinch hit ruck/forward... Paddy Ryder will do.
Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away...

Good to see no Cloke apologists is this thread. I am sick of the constant defence of the spud. As I said earlier, he and his old man can f$@k off.
