Do we throw the kitchen sink at T. Cloke in the draft?

[Bentick's My Man.]

With our supposed mass amount of salary cap room should we throw it at a Premiership KPF we are crying out for?

Do we have a pick in the PSD for Cloke to out price every other team?


It is most likely all smoke and mirrors from David Cloke for more cash from the Pies but definitely worth it if we could pick him up for essentially nothing in a compromised draft.

 

[PooMonkey]

If he is really available...then yes offer him a 3/4 year deal at big $ that the Pies could not match!

Pick him up in the PSD

 

[jonesy86]

In the highly unlikely scenario that he goes into the draft teams like GC, Melbourne and Adelaide would be more than interested in him with money in their cap.

 

[iRemember87]

No, can't kick.

We have a much better future talent who can kick in Henderson for the next 10 years!!

There is a reason why Clokes only last so many years in the AFL....cause they peak, get overrated and then turn to crap!!

 

[Mandragoran]

he won't leave pies, just trying to get a better deal

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

Can we play him and Henderson in the same forward line?

 

[brazilblue]

dejavu - didn´t we have a spud named Cloke? Why would we want an overpriced one.

Good hands appalling kick ... too frustrating to bother with I hope .... woud be more than happy to push his price up though!

Very, very, very good call

Why would Adelaide want him?
We already have Tippett to miss shots from the goal square.

 

[rp84]

Get him.

B and F of a premiership team. CHF. Two gun tall forwards, that are unselfish and hard-working would be immense.

 

[Faz 2000]

Would we want him? Sure.

Would we throw the kitchen sink? Yes.

Would he get to us? I don't see how...

 

[Sin City]

Can't see it happening but if the club isn't put off dealing with Cloke's by now then have a red hot crack at him.

 

[Kramer1]

Pains me to say it, but give Collingwood some credit.
They are a good organisation and will find a way of keeping Cloke.

 

[da_champ]

Collingwood can take their Travis Cloke and stick him up their arse. Never want to see him running around in the navy blue. Let some other flogs pick him up and see the kind of dud he is. Why pay Cloke $450k+ when we can get Brad Fisher to take marks and then spray them all over the goalface practically for free.

 

[pumped]

Relieved we didn't get him. Has talent but do not rate his consistency which is something we need.

 

[as0l0]

one was enough. actually, one was too much.

 

[parrot]

If we can get him cheap draft pick wise (4th round pick), by throwing a heap of cash at him for year 1, then why not. We'd have the most cap space out of any Club in the comp right now, and that gives us a nice little edge.

Not really that fussed though. The main focus is acquiring the best talent in the draft.

 

[The Toad]

Of course we do. Right, so he's not a great kick, but he's got shit hot hands, so play him a CHF and let him kick it to Hendo in the square.

Never happen though. The filth would never let him go, the toothless brigade would burn down Vic park / Westpak joint if they let him go.

Hahaha made my day!!

Because cloke is a premiership player and brad fisher is in the magoo's =) ouch that one must hurt!

 

[Stamos]

We should make him a big offer, but only so as to increase the price that Collingwood pay him, therefore increasing their salary cap pressure.

 

[TNBT]

If he is available then I don't see why we wouldn't. He's not consistently accurate with his foot skills, but play him at CHF and let him lead up the ground as a marking target when bringing the ball forward.

 

[SWINE]

Would love to see him in the navy blue... at least he can take a decent mark!! Have him straighten up with some new kicking coach and it could do wonders!

 

[Sublime]

Can't see it happening but yes i'd take him in a second. Offers plenty to Collingwood and structurally is a very important player to them.

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

cloke is coll's most important player structurally. he took the most contested marks in the comp in 2010. yes his kicking lets him down too regularly but he did have 80+ shots at goal for the year. he is 23yo. you can't honestly believe that a team that has henderson setanta and waite (and sometimes fisher and hampson) as their key forwards would not be vastly improved by adding t cloke to its ranks
