Apparently Carlton, Melbourne and Freo have shown serious interest. you can understand carlton being keen but I couldnt see how they would fit him in the cap.
stan do you think cloke is worth the money he wants??? listening to grant thomas on footy classified he said cloke is way overatted and should only be worth half of what he is asking i must say i tend to agree but a little more than half of what he wants....
I think he wants 900K doesnt he? I'm not sure he is worth that but in saying that he is a very good player and very important to Collingwood especially with Dawes' form of late. But still hes not worth 900K. Just my opinion. I think he has done well to get a 700K deal especially if it turns out to be for 5 years. Really I think he should be around the 500 - 600K mark.
Also I think collingwood have done well to keep all there key players and remain under the cap. But still someone will be squeezed out I'm just wondering if it will be another John McCarthy type case. Whilst he is not an elite midfielder has been handy at Port. So I'm interest to see who gets the squeeze as they have a number of good young players coming through.
yeah i must say with all the injuries the pies have they have some very good kids coming through thats for sure....im sure they will find a way of keeping all their stars as over the years i cant recall the pies letting good quality players go....as to travis i hope he does the right thing by the club and doesnt just chase the $$$$$...
Can't have the Cloke family holding Collingwood to ransom.
