Crows Join race for Cloke

[Psyber]

Tippett not playing for Adelaide tomorrow.......I smell a rat! In light of the Cloke story you'd have to think that Tippett is 80% gone.

I'm beginning to think Tippett may eventually have to give up the game like Scott Stevens did.
Perhaps the Crows had better trade him while they can - before his next concussion happens...

[CUTTERMAN]

Giving it some more thought, if Tippett has decided to go back to QLD I'd be surprised if he wasn't playing this week because of it. Adelaide are going into finals and would want him playing regardless. However, if he is going I think Adelaide are in a good position to get something reasonable for him, while I doubt GC would give up Sam Day they may be willing to give up their 1st round draft pick for him and going on this years talent pool that would be great for Adelaide. If he was to go to Brisbane you'd think they may be able to get Redden or Brisbane's 1st round draft pick. Question, what did Brisbane get for Brennan and Rischitelli going to GC and have they used it yet?

[Coach Bombay]

The entire cloke family are pieces of shiit! Don't want them involved with my footy club. Cheers

[Squids]

I hope they get him.

[Coach Bombay]

I hope they get him.

Don't curse it

Would risk that for a guy whose had his head caved in so much in recent weeks? Massive risk there. I reckon Sibe is on the money and the lad may be in trouble. Hope he is not for his sake don't like seeing young blokes getting seriously injured on a footy field.

Do ya Squibber, thanks for sharing that with us!

[Baron Greenback]

Brisbane will never give up redden or polec. It will be a draft pick

I'd say they'd look at Polec.

[gossipgirl]

Surely Crows would only look at Cloke if we had a Reserves side

[tigermad]

Tippet would be mad to leave on his $$ and the chance of a flag in the next couple of years!! lions have no hope of finals action let alone making a gf ?as for cloke he will stay at the pies ?

He could be mad then as the mail coming through is that he will probably be leaving.

[Grafter]

According to Roo on MMM tonight, he thinks Tippo is 95% gone.

[the joker]

Apparently 4 mil over 5 years at Brisbane. Be stupid not to think about it. Would probably only get 1.5 over 3 years at the crows

[steakn]

So we've seen interest from Adelaide, Freo, Melbourne and whoever else

But why are Carlton not bashing down senior Clokes door to get his sons signature, they have a great bunch of small forwards, but only one decent but injury prone key forward.
Are they biding their time or do they seriously think the likes of Hampson, Warnock, Kruezer will generate enough of a genuine target to push them into the top four on a yearly basis. Don't get me wrong it's not all about the key forwards, but there aren't too many premiership teams without one or two.

Cos he's the football anti-Christ.

Seriously, we need someone like him. Not sure if we've got salary cap room to spend however that shouldn't worry anyone these days with the ability to have third party agreements ok'd by the AFL. We could pay him 100k and 2mill by Visy!

Another Travis Cloke thread... He aint that good.

[stan]

With beams just signing on, assuming he would have recieved a nice increase based on his form, means there is less cash now available for Cloke.

Who will be squeezed out this year?

Reported to be $515k a season for 3 years.
