He is not forcing us to do anything. The club have calculated what he is worth (in their opinion) and the implication on the current and future salary cap.

No of course not, we'll get rid of our premiership power forward and leading contested mark in the game for a lousy 300K five years from now

Yep, stupid by the club but you will never get any support for that around here, most people have never liked the Clokes and love any chance to stick the knive in

David Cloke came to my daughter's school a week ago. He was dressed up as a sheep. So was Wilbur Wilde. Some would say David was a wolf in sheep's clothing. But alas it was all part of the Variety Bash. Travis wasn't there.

Is that right?

Fascinating if true, it would be pretty much the most credible evidence that exists for Cloke being gorn.

Make of that what you will. Not claiming it to be 100% accurate, just what Tom Harley said.

If he's telling the truth, why hasn't he made it public? He's a media darling isn't he? Why's he protecting Micky and Carlton? What's in it for him? A gentleman's agreement? Discretion? Why?

If he's lying, or making it up, what does that say about the regard media people and football people have for joe public?

Footy is a great game but the industry stinks to high heaven.

"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public"

On a lighter not, Goldsack on before the game was asked by Hughesy, "so what's Travis doing" to which Goldy said"he's not doing what you hope he will".

5 years is worth it in my opinion, anything to get some form back! He is still the best CHF playing the game in my opinion. I would HATE him to go to Carlton

I don't think there was anything in it. It was a throwaway line and Hughesy was just pestering him with questions
