You never give up but it's time to think about the future. And if I were at Carlton I'd be working damn hard to try to ensure that future included Travis Cloke.

No one really believes Cloke is going to Fremantle, despite Eddie's bluster on the weekend.

Ever heard of the salary cap? The money saved on Brock etc has already been allocated to Murphy, Gibbs etc. There is no million $ cap space......

Read the article makes some sense

Warnock 400k
Brock 400k
+ Plus Dead weight
Joseph
Russell

Could maybe get it done.

Malthouse and Cloke next year would be something!

Sorry Eddie, you've been at war with us since the 70s!

It's a blog piece...WTF is this doing in the Age? WTF is this doing on TC? About as much chance of Carlton offering Cloke a 5-year deal as there is me being offered the keys to a DeLorean by DocBrown.

NO NO a thousand times NO.

The boom recruit is not something you can keep looking too.

Judd was one and it was necessary but EXPENSIVE.

You don't insert a Cloke salary in a cap and just hope everyone else will play for less.

There is already a massive issue with how our boy's work together, having two blokes on more than a significant number of the rest of the team put together won't create a team that works together.

There is no white knight, there is only hard work. WCE, Geelong, Pies (Ball and Jolly are not that expensive) Bombers, Adelaide, Sydney should give us a clue as to whats required.

I heard a little whisper this morning that we are into a different Collingwood player in a big way. The strategy appears to be that Cloke is gunna push up their TPP and somebody will have to fall out the other end. I am told that the player in question is a midfielder, but have no idea who it might be. The same whisperer, said that yes we want Travis and believe we will prevail, but not the one you guys are discussing. One way or another we will get a hard bodied experienced mid from another club. We will see!

Dane Beams. Collingwood havent budgeted for what he will be worth by years end. Would command approx. $450k.

Might not be bad to get Boak and Beams! :smoking:

Who knows, but let's face it, we have a lot of dead wood, that you would expect to be traded, retired or delisted at the end of the season. We have a heap out of contract at the moment. Depending on the mooted Head coaching moves, if there is a change; you can guarantee that there will also be a cleanout of other coaches and certainly the list will be culled. There are plenty of guys on here who could point out the likely movements.

When you can't develop - you have to poach. We don't have an alternative. Put your faith in Andy McKay. It's the only way.
