cheaper to get Fev back, at least he can kick straight

Would be about 6-700k cheaper and probably more effective.

fev's done a PCL so he's cooked.

Just watching WCE. I'd rather offer Kennedy the money to come back. Be a very popular choice.

No, give Casboult and Mitchell specialist training. Spend about half of what you would have paid Malthouse on educating our young forwards!

Forget Cloke. Get the best development coaches/staff in the game.

Well said.

Having a coach of the Bullants hat plays the same way as the seniors will make a huge difference.

I have yet to read a good argument against getting him.

Talks of picks and going for youth, seem to miss the argument that he will cost us nothing in this regard. He is also young and would fit any age / game requirement you would need.

Money spent on him would have no impact on money spent in the football dept / coaches as they are completely separate, so no issue there.

People are saying they would rather 2 mid priced players, but this misses the point of free agency and trading. There are not free agents out there who fit our needs. Any young guns we want we will need to trade for and lose early picks.

There maybe an issue with salary cap, but these details are not known, so we can only assume we can fit this in.

We need a KPF, and Cloke is one the best going around, so I don't see why not?

Not bad.... I hope not if we get MM

Nah it's from the 66 GF commentary between Butch Gale and Ted Whitten (I think) when the saints got 1 point in front.... Classic commentary...

We'd all love to get Kennedy back, but we'd have to give WC Judd, Armfield, our first round pick and Malthouse's grandkid to get him.

Cloke - yes, he'd cost us a load in terms of salary cap, but other than that, we get him for NOTHING. Read in the team list - In: T Cloke, Out: Zilch.

No such thing as a free lunch? Not any more, in post-socialist AFL.
