Gold coast seem to be being quite clever in their targets.

They are clearly going for guys that have reasons to leave beyond the simple financial incentives.

Ablett - family lives there
Cotchin - plays for Richmond
Brown - pissed about trade week, likely to feel the squeeze at Hawthorn
Cloke - had very tough 18 months personally, may want to move.

They are not just targeting superstars and mercenaries. Clever in my view.

He needs to leave Collingwood, he's not doing himself or the club any favors by staying and continuing to shank kicks. Leave, get a new start with a new coach and try and start anew.
 
Doesn't T. Cloke get the shakes when he thinks about the Gold Coast? He may become catatonic if he returns.
He was bashed on the Sunshine Coast.

It could still prove a deterrent to moving up there though.

Agree. they are not just going for the elite
 
Chat at the Herald Sun office:

Journo: Brown, Ablett, Franklin, Hurley, we've got some big names linked to the GC
Editor: Yeah but no Collingwood players, we need to sell some papers
Journo: Well who could we say the GC want?
Editor: Umm...Dale Thomas?
Journo: Nah, don't be stupid, nobody'd believe that
Editor: Alan Didak?
Journo: Nah we've sold enough papers due to him, the public will be getting sick of him
Editor: I've got it, Travis Cloke!
Journo: Tall forward, like Buddy and Hurley. Not really THAT great so Collingwood fans wouldn't be too upset to see him go...BRILLIANT!
 
TRAVIS CLOKE :eek:

Sounds like a load of BS to me - the boy couldn't last a week on the Sunshine Coast, let alone the Gold Coast...on the other hand, Carrara does need some new light towers ;)

haha the funny thing with this post is that you're probably right
 
It's been said in interviews on radio a few times the HS have given a directive to their journos to go out and discover who the GC recruits are going to be.

Between now and the end of the season I'm guessing another 25 players will be linked with the GC.

Some already 'linked' are...

Ablett, C.Brown, Hurley, Cloke, Harbrow, Franklin... any others I've missed?

Expect a large percentage of the following Essendon players to be linked to the GC at some point this year:

Atkinson
Davey
Gumbleton
Hille
Houli
Hurley
Jetta
Laycock
Lonergan
McVeigh
Monfries
Myers
Reimers
Slattery (x2)
Stanton
Still
Watson

Why all those? Because they're all our players who are out of contract this year.
