Fair and mostly true, now get back to knifing JB...

I am no fan of Caro but she does make some very relevant comments. Despite all the injuries the Pies are defying gravity and are performing well. To gain the ultimate prize, many things need to go our way and the Cloke situation is an issue that can affect our chances.

Hurt our September chances? What? As if we'll even make it!

Isn't that right Caroline?

He misses so many soda goals, he should be damn well grateful hes getting /offered this $700K a season. He is no buddy-13 goals-Franklin, and hes no Peter McKenna either. Great mark, but misses far too many goals, in GF 1 2010, his misses could have been disastrous for us.

Couldn't have said it better myself......when you think about it, scoring points only gives the ball back to the opposition !!!! Lets not give it back to them by getting rid of Cloke?

I'll agree with everything except the last sentence. In both GFs he was out standing, scoring many inspirational goals. Also in 2011 gf he was quite good.

Regarding the article.. it states the pies have been extra good to the clokes. I wonder if his brothers feel the same way! Does anyone know what the author is referring to about the off field incidents that the pies have brushed away ?

I think all of them involved Cameron and a certain Ringwood nightclub

Accusations the media had that werent true so they claim Collingwood brushed them away, typical media beat ups

I would suggest someone at The Age decided that headline needed an article. What a joke.

speeding, driving while disqualified, shots allegedly fired into house, death threats

make google your friend!!

The first two were hardly brushed aside

Re: shots fired.. and even other incidents involving Travis like getting king hit werent something that needs to be covered up. He was the victim

It was a rudicoloys statement made by the author to insinuate that the clokes have been more protected than any other player

true, but someone doesnt usually fire shots into a house unless they think they have a fair size reason, unless we are talking Brooklyn, new York. (actuallyy been a bit of that action in Brooklyn Vic!)

WHAT concerns me, is that this seemingly never ending saga has the de ja vu feeling of " Ablett" all over it. Remember how the ablett fiasco bascially derailed and upset the Cats season of 2010, it just went on and on, like this. We dont want history to repeat itself, this must be cleared up by the Bye, at latest IMHO. !

Have a Bex or three, a glass of Chivas, and a good lie down. By the time you wake everything will be just fine. If its not, repeat procedure. If it is still not then keep repeating procedure until it is.

In the long run this might not make any difference to the Clokes but it will give the rest of us some peace.

AHHH... words of wisdom indeed. ! Good advice Ronnie ol son, but Im not exactly robinson crueso on this issue, im no orphan, have a look at the amount of posts on it, threads are bobbing up everywhere on Cloke. Fans are gnashing teeth over it, stress levels are high, its not just me mate. !
BUT, a cuppa does sound nice, and a timtam, think its a bit early for a chivas.

If he stays, he stays. If he goes, he goes. Acres of bandwidth of angst about it won't make an iota of difference to the final outcome.
