Rumour The Thread formerly known as the rumour file, now with zero rumours

[Garth Vader]

yeah it is, I was insinuating that your shop was the usual CFC hairdresser....please excuse my sarcastic crack at your post, just sick to death of the rumours at the moment

No sweat at all ;-)

 

[Mr.Kennedy]

So $1m per season for 5 years for a player such as Cloke that has had one dominant season in his career and is currently one of the worst performed players in the comp, gets you excited?

Paying 1mill for Cloke would set us back bigtime. Would leave little for others, will squeeze the cap and disgruntle current players. Surely between Mitchell, Rowe, Waite, Hendo & Levi(once radar is adjusted) the job can get done.

 

[Sin City]

We just kicked 11.20 to kick ourselves out of finals. Yep, Cloke is the answer

Fev ?????

It would want to be slightly less, around $850k or $900k and be back ended somewhat to allow for increase in salary cap down the track or have 3rd party relief etc.

Talking about AFL players here Madblue, stay on topic mate

Yep, I find it somewhat ironical and amusing also considering our accuracy issues.

Maybe he can straighten us up more instead of playing through the pockets although Levi was pretty much straight it front for most of his, perhaps he should of tried to centre his 5 behinds!!!

You reckon Megan Gale will be keen to remain a blue after we trade Hammer off?

So 'bomb it to Eddie' and 'not man up on their loose man' weren't Ratts' coaching directives?

The main directive was: 'a Shaun Grigg-like kick to Eddie when he's got two guys on him'.

 

[I bleed Blue]

I know alot of people hate the idea of Cloke, but we need to do everything in our power to get some premierships to the club in the next 3 or 4 years before losing the the GC and GWS becomes the norm for everyone.

If Cloke can help us do that then we should all get behind the clubs decision.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Nah but I reckon he should be kept ahead of Warnock to be honest.

Maybe Megan just goes for the Carlton blokes.... can she move on to someone else or is she hooked to the "Hammer" for good??

Fev ?????

Wonder if Sticks could chuck the boots back on for a season or two...

Bullshit, Judd is coming to the end of his tenure and is on significantly reduced money, Waite is almost finished a veteran and would be on peanuts in terms of salary cap, apart from Murphy and maybe Yarran I couldn't give a stuff what any of them think they're worth, they are nowhere near it...they've all signed multi year deals anyway and if we couldn't afford Cloke we wouldn't be chasing him simple, I'm sure his contract will be heavily front loaded similar to Judd and Kouta have been paid...we've managed to keep all of our players through both those contracts so I don't know what the issue is?

Cloke is a gun, he is having a shocking year due to this contract talk...under MM he blossomed as the best forward in the game....bring him down!

After all the doom and gloom i'm now starting to get excited about season 2013 already !

Enough said !!

Yeah, I just found it strange that Goddard spelt his own name wrong on the application

I didn't find it strange? lol

Coaching/List Management advice from Luke Darcy should be paid the same level of attention as parenting advice from a pedophile.

Aren't we trying to improve our goal kicking accuracy though....

 

[Styxx]

I'm slightly starting to wonder if a rookie listed Fev with a contract with so many get out and pay nothing clauses will be worth the gamble would be worth it. Not convinced it's the way to go but I'd mull over it to see if there was a way of doing it where we couldn't lose.

Stop, just stop.

Stop, just stop.

You missed the part where I said I was NOT convinced it's the way to go, but if everyone else is going to speculate about the entire club may as well throw as much crap against the wall and see how much sticks.

Spot on !!!
For a player having such a shocking year i believe he is still no.1 in the league for contested marks and will probably kick 50 goals !!!
Cant wait to see him hit top form again next year under MM let alone what his presence will do for Betts , Garlett , Waite and Walker !!!
