And White in Best even more Damming

 

[Baird]

Just like hawthorn , swans , cats and norths 30 year old player .

you mean the 30 year old players who aren't playing terribly? Cloke is finished, will never get 40 goals in a season again

Not under the Mick Buckley zoning game plan . Our side struggles to kick 10gosls a game under Buckley sack Moore and most other forwards

 

[TheSierBear]

The good news is that Cloke's fifth year probably won't be triggered from here on in. $800K Saved!

 

[daicosdemis]

On the plus side, we could be Freo.

Why, do you think we are going to beat Carlton ?

How many accounts do you have?
How do you remember them all?

I have as many as it takes to get the winning culture back for the Collingwood football club ..

 

[Kirby]

So are we sacking Tapping too?

 

[spartan-magpie]

Coaches zoning makes players stand like witches hats jus like the afl side orders from above

I'm the only Spartan allowed here. I'm the number 1 Spartan too.

 

[HFF]

So are we sacking Tapping too?

We are sacking the entire football department.
Clean out is clearly required.

Are you actually serious?

I would imagine that they have a few players currently playing seniors that would ordinarily be playing vfl if not for the 12 suspensions.

A few, but we've essentially swapped Ryan Crowley, Jono Simpkin, Sam Michael, Mark Jamar and Nathan Grima for Elliott Kavanagh, Nick O'Brien, Sam Tagliabue, Tayte Pears and Ariel Steinberg in the side. All have shown to be upgrades so far.

Not really sure what cloke was meant to do today. He was given no supply.

Personally i thought it was a horrible decision to drop him. He hasnt been playing well, but neither have any of our forwards. At least he takes the heat off moore.

He probably faced a tougher opponent today in grima than he wouldve got tomorrow in gwilt or hartley...with an ordinary team around him. Not sure how that is meant to build his confidence.

I personally just wouldve given him a week to get over the elbow injury and have a solid week of training

To me, the decision to drop him smacked of a decision based on making a statement to appease the circling media and impatient fans.

I wouldve backed him in.

What's done is done. Now we have an awkwars choice with what to do with him. Its hard to bring him in based on that performance, but if moore and cox do nothing then we have no choice.

So Bucks Dropping Cloke is that he might be on his Last Chance?

If the bolded is true, then we have a lot more to worry about than Cloke.

 

[Kirby]

I think the decision to drop Cloke has far more to do with in house matters than just playing form.

 

[rand corp]

Sh!t meet f@n

VFL side with more than a few senior AFL players running around, given a fifteen goal thumping by the Essendon and districts thirds.

 

[Schwarzenackers]

I doubt anyone would enjoy anything you have to offer - such a repugnant face and personality. Well maybe pimply teenage virgins.

Personal attacks on a new poster for no reason. I suppose you beat up kids on the way from school too. Look out people tough guy alert!

 

[Pedro]

Why, do you think we are going to beat Carlton ?

Maybe not, but we are not the reigning minor premiers who are now zip-5 after being beaten at Subi by a side many predicted will win the spoon. Do you think we are worse off than Freo?

No I don't. In fact watch our list's performance improve out of site once fresh coaching staff come in.
Five weeks in and look at the difference at Carlton, arguably the thinnest list in the AFL.

Spot on in every way possible.
