Yeah, VB should be in there. Missed his name.
1) Not true at all, he still attracts either the best or second best defender, his presence in the forward line is huge for the Pies.
I would like an explanation tooCare to explain this comment?
Glad someone else rates the big guy outside Collingwood
With Cloke, he plays the Lucas of a few years ago role (Lucas is closer to goals these day, isnt he?). The big lead up forward, racking up the marks.
Very big scorers those types of players
I think Cloke is worth having purely based on the fact that he can become a premium next year. Even if he doesn't do this, he will still average around a 70-75 from which a straight swap could be done for a premium keeper, alterantively you could use him as some one to gain points for you whilst you wait for the expensive forwards like Brown, Riewoldt and co to drop.
What i was thinking, you can't fork out that much money for a non-keeper.If you buy him, it's as a keeper, if he becomes anything less than that then it's a waste of a selection/trade.

I kinda disagree with this to a point.
Yes, it does become a waste. That said, the team I'm planning, in a perfect world, could contain 18 keepers.
Obviously I'm not expecting that to happen. I'm expecting the odd character to not step up as I'm expecting them to. Does that make it wrong of me to trade them out? Keeping in mind that these trades are in the strategy...
It appears a valid strategy in that your average "upgrade" requires two trades, whereas this would eliminate the need to free up cash first if your gamble doesn't pay off...
(That said- Cloke is on the expensive side of the spectum...)
Does anyone know why Tarkyn Lockyer dropped his 07 average from 103 to 81 last season? He is relatively cheap now and if he gets back to his 07 average he could be a very handy cheap premium?

Corrie also looks good he is 13ppg down from his 07 average, and I don't reckon Collingwood wouldn't have traded for him for no reason. Could possibly be the Medhurst of 09!
All the premium/keeper forwards are above their 07 averages, therefore they don't represent more loss than gain.
Brad Johnson looks tasty as he is down 13ppg from his 07 average, although is it fair to say his best is behind him due to his age?

Problem for me is I just don't see any value in the DT forwards besides Pavlich/S.Johnson in terms of keepers.
