2 year deal on the table for Cloke

 

[StringyDog]

The Collingwood board will be such a fun place to be when they hand him over with salary relief for a fourth rounder.

Especially when they think this;

rocket said picks or players.

cloke to dogs for their first...we pay some of his $$

witts, oxley and dogs first for jom.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

we have picks beyond that to elevate R.Smith with?

Are we certain that's going to happen? We'd have to clear someone out to make room for him. Unless he counts as one of the three drafted players?

Yes rookie upgrades count, but I expect him to stay as third year rookie

So we could draft two and then upgrade Smith and be done? I reckon it will come down to the picks we have then, if we get three decently high picks to use I can't see us using one on a rookie upgrade that can wait a year.

Yep and Roake can be upgraded straight away to play if needed next year anyway with Wallis and Redpath on long term injury list.

Why is everyone so convinced it will happen then? Can't think of a reason to do it, and many not too.

Depends on our picks and what we think we could get. If say our 2nd pick is a 4th rd - smith may be a far superior option than anyone left.

Really we'd just be swapping a rookie pick for a late main list pick. Either way we have Roarke, just depends what spot on the list he takes up.

The only reason I can think of is that if we didn't we'd then need to do it next year when delistings might be harder and the draft better, so get it out of the way now.

Christ...

That is spectacular.

Because we have to delist him and redraft him

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Because we have to delist him and redraft him

Doesn't he have another year on the rookie list?

 

[StringyDog]

Because we have to delist him and redraft him

What......no he just stays on as third year rookie

 

[JTCWBFC]

Okay, so if we get Cloke, what is everyone's expectation for next year?

How would we structure up?

I can see Cloke being a permanent forward, Boyd sharing ruck duties with one of Roughead / Campbell / Whoever we Bring in.

Thoughts?

 

[Dogs Rule]

Cloke for a fourth rounder and half his salary paid...

Nothing to lose really.

 

[Testekill]

Especially when they think this;

**** me they're delusional

 

[Nath09]

But can we fit Cloke and Riewoldt in the same forward line?

 

[Testekill]

Isn't Dodo and the Dopers going to threaten every club with the PSD with out of contract players? That's his scumbag modus operandi. Just tries to be
the big tough guy at trade time when everyone knows he is just a campaigner of a bloke.
If Dodo goes down this track. Then they won't be able to get deals done in upcoming years. Clubs have long memories of shit blokes. They would be better off just giving fair deals for players off contract.

Yeah, Dodo talks a big game but it's all bluffing.

 

[Dogs Rule]

**** me they're delusional

Mad Monday taken a little too literally by their faithful.

Hic...hic...

I believe this is his last year as a rookie since he was drafted in 2013. You can only be on a rookie list for 3 years before they have to re draft you

He has only been on 2 years

 

[Ozil]

Was drafted in 2014.

This was his second season on our list
