Same names that think the Clokes are happier with Buckley coaching instead of Malthouse.

Where would be his best bet of getting set up financially off the field. In Melbourne with one AFL player per square inch or in booming WA like Pav and quite a few others?
Or has that boat already sailed?
Surely with the lack of depth and the rag tag bunch of scrubbers that only made 2 GFs because of the master coach, there is more than enough cap space to accomodate everyone.
Pies will sign Cloke & Reid and then look to recruit a free agent. The latter may take 2 years but it will happen.

It's an interesting one.
If Collingowood can only stretch to 750k, for example, the difference is significant. and he'd be in a team that looks like playing finals, unlike GWS.
We'd be negligent not to ask the question of someone who fills an urgent need

With Cloke and Anthony together the Dockers will be unbeatable.
Woodside is Freo's major sponsor. Pretty sure they make more cash than Ch 9.
Free agency is all good and well but teams still have a salary cap. Theres a reason GWS and Suns have a higher salary cap than anybody else....because they are crap and will take years to build.
I'm not sure any non GWS- Suns list can really afford a million dollar player. There are too many other list sacrifices that would have to be made to squeeze that salary in and still keep the team competitive.
Fremantle with its distance it travels every week and injuries it tends to get needs to consider depth, even more so than a Victorian team needs to.

They do, oh yes they do.
He will be ours, oh yes, he will be ours..
hopefully
SO where do the AFL compensation picks come from to Collingwood ??, if Collingwood get two first round picks all other clubs fit in around the Compensation picks I guess . Interesting , if that happens Freo should push even harder should they have the money . Freo could save on housing expenses and House Clokey at one of there Hippie Communes too .

Not sure whether we are even a chance to get him - it'll be a business decision for all parties ... but I'm already enjoying the flapping and nonsense from Eddie
That interview on footy show at the start of the year said it all, if pies can't pay for him someone will.. He's gone reguardless in my eyes.
He's not hiding it as well as Ablett and scully
But the only way pies will keep him is if Eddie pays him from his own pocket and when talking about Eddie it's very possible.

He hasn't denigrated you in any food based analogies yet.
Wait for it.

Eddie should focus on EMT not being a complete bore.

I hope it happens just to see Eddie crack the shits big time.

Was just thinking that when I was reading the thread.
Would turn the Swans into a serious flag threat imo, their dysfunctional forward line is what hurts them the most. If they added Cloke along with Reid/Goodes it'd suddenly be monstrous.
Could they afford $1m+ a year though?

I disagree with these comments about Cloke making more money and having more success in the future by staying at Collingwood. IF Cloke went to Freo and led them to a premiership, he would be a hero for all time at a big club which is thirsty for success after sooo much failure!
SELFISH GREED and stupidity has caused all this, IT aint right for players, fathers, managers or whoever to demand as much $$$ as they can get in a team sport.
Pendles, Swan and Daisey all wanted more of the sliced up pie knowing full well that eventually their greed would see mid range and fringe players getting squeezed out like Macarthy, Leeroy, Neon & others.
Team harmony goes out the window when good honest battlers are getting scraps and performing just as well as Jolly, Daisey and co. Geelong and Hawks seem to have the right formula of sticking to a system that pays there good players 250/300k, its very good 300/400k and its very best 400/600k.
Pretty sure a bloke at Demonland like Nathan Jones must be scatching his head right thinking How come the club i bleed for thinks Mitch C is worth 800k and me only 300k.

Stop poaching Collingwood's forwards. Although the Tarrant one was good. Medhurst & Reid to the Pies and we get Tarrant back for Pick 44 5 years laster.
Free agency was driven by the players, through their union. That's what the majority of the players wanted. If Nathan Jones is unhappy he can put his hand up for a bigger contract to move to another club.
