Tune in to see if the dogs can break the all time record for missed set shots!
We are out of options it seems. I'd rather Cloke than Butcher, Schulz and Redpath. Watched Cloke closely yesterday and his tank allowed him to find space in the second half. Still a shocking set shot kick, slow and fumbly.

Just hope we don't overpay. Anymore than a two year contract and a third rd pick would be cra cra.

Jack Reiwoldt...nice to dream but Cloke seems the reality :(

IMO Cloke would be good for Boyd in mentoring him. Boyd doesn't really have anybody. Also saves the club $$ by getting a player rather than a dedicated coach

If we get Cloke, him and Tom to have massive running pre-seasons and work together all pre-season.
Have Cloke become a mentor for Tom to help fast track his development. Like what Barry Hall did with jones

Agree with all of this.

I'd love to see Wayne Carey doing some work with Tom too. We saw the result that the sit down chat between Carey and Patton had on Patton's game on the weekend.

Could we offer you Kreuzer & Casboult for a package of your excess mids ??
Right now we'd take them.
Whispers are that Carlton are talking to one of our fringe mids that has played senior football this season.
Casboult wouldn't be in the top 5 worst kicks for goal in our side which is just plain scary.

Casboult v Hunter v Dahlhaus

Not sure who I would have take a set shot to save my life?

Roughead is worse than all of them.

That's accounting for Hunter's right foot being purely decorative. He's a gut-running link player but his inside F50 disposal is very ordinary.

2011 Jones actually looked alright, he definitely benefited from having Barry alongside him.

Never realised that potential obviously, but Hall did seem to straighten him up.
To be fair once Hall left Jones Shat himself
It was a very short lived improvement from Jones...but I take your point. I'd be kinda hoping for a better improvement than Jones gave us. :rolleyes:
