News Cloke commits

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Everyone seems to favour Fraser to GC, mainly because we all think he will go (somewhere) & that's probably the best compensation scenario for us.

What is David "Ex Qlder" Hales contract status?
Josh might not even be on their radar.

This article doesn't tell us that he has actually commited at all, just that he's sure he will after the season. Wow the story you have when you haven't got a story.

Unless you are accusing Cloke of being a Nick Davis type liar there is no reason to believe Cloke is going to leave.

Josh is def gone, where he goes, is unknown. Hawthorn have inqurried, don't know if GC have. I'd suspect he would be on easily $400 to $450 K.

I don't know Medhurst's contract status but WC are interested. We can easily match Knight's offer, which is around $400 to $450 K mark, it just depends on how we facilitate the trade.

Why would WCE want meddars seriously.

^^^ They apparently have been looking around for a suitable replacement for LeCras to push him more into midfield...
 
Fraser for knights would be good for us but Adelaide might have something to say about that...

The other side of the coin is do we need knights? It would push someone like Blair out of our 22.

What would we trade for Medhurst? A pick? I don't see any exceptional need except for depth players or long term prospects atm.

Contracted for another 2 I think.

Anyhow, I have no idea why the GC would chase Fraser. Apparently they're more interested in ex hawk Campbell.

Campbell, seems like the obvious choice but i doubt they would rely on him solely. Still suggests to me they will look for one more mature age ruck. Hale would cost too much in draft picks & around the same dollars as Fraser.

So I'd HOPE they look to Fraser.

Yeah no doubting he is gone, the doubt is over whether we get something for him.

Hopefully GC/O'bree want to give the pies a present with a 3rd rounder for him!

The team that loses any uncontracted player to the Suns, receives a 3rd round pick as minimum compensation.
 
Great news. Cloke is cannot be replaced and if he left it would have left a big hole in our structure.

Boo hoo to all those that called for him to be traded earlier on in the season :thumbsd:

Maybe if you had watched Fraser a little more carefully, you might have understood why GC might want him for a couple of years.

Great news...although I am not going to take it as gospel until he puts pen to paper.


With him re-signed, it would make it more likely one of our depth forwards will be lost to the GC.

They are yet to sign any forwards of prominence but are beginning to put together a decent defence and midfield.

Medhurst or Jack Anthony would look juicy to them...as would Fraser.

So where is this other outlet to watch him? I only get to watch every minute of every game he plays.

Maybe I should start asking him out to dinner or something as you clearly spend a lot of time with him.

Does his wife know about this affair you seem to have going on?

Apparently they have a young kid they see as ready made named Zac Smith, and he is a beauty.

Glad to see Cloke's commitment to the Pies. Awesome!

So he has verbally committed to signing a contract with Collingwood???

Thats not a commitment... its a diversion. If he was commiting he would sign it.

So does that mean as he has said he will sign for Collingwood that we can offer him 30k a year and he has to take it?

This doesn't mean sh**

This. :thumbsu:

I think he will re-sign with us and he and his dad are being smart by putting it off to get extra $$$ with performance in finals but this is just rubbish. He hasn't signed with Collingwood yet so why start congratulating him. Congratulate him when he actually signs the contract.
 
I was told today that Cloke signed a few weeks ago, but the club didn't want it known for a few reasons until the finals.

He still hasn't signed anything, I think we all know that.

But there is almost no doubt that several week ago, he made a commitment to Collingwood, or else both parties wouldn't have been so satisfied that he put talks off till after the GF.

He has committed to us, he will sign a week or two after the GF.
