Player Watch 32 Travis Cloke

[Bad Horse]

If we have Elliott and Fasolo fit, along with Moore and White, I think that's plenty of marking targets and all of them are infinitely better users of the ball. Add in DeGoey or Aish as half-forwards and we're looking better still.

And I would agree with you if we could guarantee their availability for the season.

I'm not sure recent history makes me confident on that score.

If he is not offered, and signed up, for another year then I will turn from "Buckley, great champion CFC player, but shit coach", to just "you're ruddy shit Bux, get out of my club".
Your call Nathan.

Had a very good chat to one player on Saturday night and suggested to him my gut feel says Clokey is gone, he told me Trav and Bucks aren't even talking right now.

sad but true

So I guessed right.

Wasn't hard to work out given his sisters tirade on FB.

was her tirade about the 22 push-up challenge?

Just what I didn't want, a high turnover of player trades. Would have thought this year would be one of consolidation.
In business it is recommended that you try to turn over 10% of staff every year and we seem to have exceed that over the past 5 years and will do so again.

What happens if we get Lynch now or the following trade period 17?

Bucks then = genius?

Cloke is cooked at the Pies, he is best served looking at his options reignite the fire to play and we may get a 2nd rounder for him.

The club will have a plan and short term pain is ok if there is a long term solution in place.

I've got no problem with short term pain.

My issue is that Bucks can't afford another year out of the finals. We need results.

Cloke moving really leaves our forward line thin and makes our list profile even younger.

I just can't see Bucks surviving it. If that's the case, then we should be finding a new coach now to look over the rebuilding process.

Let's hope there is something special planned here. If it's all a plan to get Lynch, then obviously I'm all for it.

In order to do so, we should try and get 2 first round draft picks this year, so we can look to trade out 17/18 first rounders for Lynch without falling short on the criteria of having to pick 2 first rounders in a 4 year period.

There are two Travis Cloke threads running. The other has more posts regarding him leaving the club, so I'll close this thread down.
