Trav Cloke to Carlton..? say it isn't so..

[Cousin of Daicos]

God David Cloke is an idiot.

Like I said, Travis didn't give us much reason during the two GFs to really offer him any more money.

 

[tattooedswan]

This guy just sounded like a troll b4 the grand finals. He tried to fill all our heads with worry.

Thought he got red carded?

Can we dispose of him, this uncertainty is only making me filled with unease.

 

[Pie eyed]

Sounds like David Cloke just giving the tin one more rattle before signing.

mate, if you think that, let him walk for nothing. and then watch another team prosper.

He took the most contested marks for the year in the forward 50.

Yep, but not a smooth operator.

Worst case scenario Cloke gets picked up by the Eagles, meh.

Yet our leading goalkicker this year was Didak.

This is surely a hoax, first of all, what could Carlton possibly offer us for Travis? Why the hell would anyone LET ALONE TRAVIS want to see him in the PSD?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Damir Dokic Cloke is clearly just leveraging the contract via media to squeeze some extra cash from the Pies.

 

[rose jam]

Why doesn't David accept the offer and back his son in for a great couple of years so he negotiate a bigger contract then.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Cloke has to accept a trade in order for us to trade him.

hmmmm....no good. well, if carlton wants him they can hand over kreuzer, gartlett, murphy and gibbs and we have a deal.

 

[bammac]

Marks inside 50 and goals scored from them would give a more accurate picture.

Quality.

 

[Ant85]

Also anyone that says David shouldn't be his manager you're wrong. He's doing everything he can to get the best deal possible for his son, there is nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

Can people stop posting this rubbish?

Every manager looks out for the interests of their player, but David is anything but a manager.

He's embarrassed himself, he's embarrassed Travis, and he's behaving poorly and amateurish.

He lacks the professionalism, wit and tact required to be a manager. And on top of that, he's family which skews his ability to judge what's best for his player.

A player manager demands a certain level of professionalism and understanding that David clearly lacks.

 

[Go Pies!!!!!]

David Cloke is a tool

If Trav is seriously pissed about not being in leadership group then Kick some goals otherwise POQ

Would take up too much space in the cap just to play VFL.

If Collingwood are playing hard ball now then who says they wont in the future.

 

[Snag Breac]

Trav should take a pay-cut, but with a goal-bonus built in to his package.

How much per goal? And double it when he gets 5 or more per game.

they wont play hardball if trav pulls the finger out and plays to his potential

 

[mattys123]

For those panicking, PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE IN FULL.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/104002/default.aspx

It has all of David's comments in it, and it puts everything in perspective.

David even agreed to drop the contract from 3 years to 2, so a deal is very close.

theyd only be depth players for us.. but carlton wouldnt win a game without them.

 

[didaka]

If he was serious about leaving, David Cloke wouldn't have waited to the last day of the trade period to start talking.

They would've been on the front foot a long time ago trying to get him a trade.


He might get Travis an extra 50 grand for this, and if so he's done his job.

I have no doubt that when Trav gets home he'll ink a deal and look it'll probably only be 2 years so he can have a go at free agency.

Hutchy recons his old contract was around 450 K and now were offering 400 with bonuses

Id give him 400 K and a 50 K bonus for kicking over 50 goals in the season + other incentives

Triple the goal bonus for every goal kicked in a final. Quintiple (is that a word?) it in the GF.

 

[rofltown]

it's just his 'manager' trying to scare collingwood into giving him a bigger deal

no wher in any of the articles have i seen any referance to carlton actually saying they are going after him
