who turns up to the Bob Rose lecture whining about a rumour from some internet site
And really I couldn't care less who you think you know at the club to massage your over inflated ego

People here will use his poor form as an excuse to say thats the reason he was not taken up by another club.... but the rumour file started weeks ago.
I've stated this before and will say it again
Collingwood have the last say and if they match any offers Cloke has to stay.
We hold the trump card... because we only have to make room in the salary cap for Travis's increase... whereas another club has to put aside and make room for around the 800k plus in their salary cap.
We then equal the offer and the other club is left with an 800k hole. Risky business for any side to be in.
Trav to stay.

My eyes aren't embedded far up my clacker like yours, I can see for myself without being told.
Thank your lucky stars I refuse to post on our board on bigfooty, I'd make a mockery of your sycophancy on there too.
You're an embarrassment Nash Rising/Baltimore Jack.

I've always believed he wanted to stay. I don't think his poor form is due to him not caring because he's going to another club either. I blame the massive focus on his contract and his inability to deal with it as major factors. He's not great at handling pressure. Unfortunately the club may now think differently and not be so willing to come to terms. He/his father may have cooked their own goosenulla wrote:I'm with you MadonnaANNODAM wrote:I still believe Travis will stay.

How much is Cloke worth now?
Melbourne have dropped out of the contest to sign Cloke.
The record books for 2012 will show Cloke was sub standard in a team primed for a flag tilt. Flag tilts don't come around every year.
Given the lost opportunity in 2012 what is he now worth to the Pies in 2013? Let's assume contract talks will resume at season's end.

Not true. If we match he does not have to stay. A trade can be negotiated or he can go into the draftnulla wrote:I'm with you MadonnaANNODAM wrote:I still believe Travis will stay.
