Malthouse, Goddard and Cloke

[saintbob]

What if all three landed at Carlton!!!

BJ grew up a mad Blues supporter.

Malthouse loves Cloke, and seemed to get the best out of him.

Cloke would probably take less money than Freo have offered to play under Mick again. Plus he wouldn't have to move away from Daddy!!!

Plus Carlton have already made offers to BJ and Cloke if you believe what's being said in the media, and I wouldn't put it past Kernahan and his crew to have already approached Mick weeks ago with this idea!!!

It would take a huge amount of trading to fit them both in, but it is a very real possibility.

[WellardSaint]

Cloke to Carlscum wont necessarily get Malthouse excited, i think if he'd already decided on coaching, that would be the sweetener. It would be highly probable that Malty, BJ and the Greedy One could end up at Visy Park.
Sad to see BJ leave, but if somehow we get a young, big KPP out of it, will make it easier to accept.

if the scum can afford Judd, Murphy, Cloke, and BJ, then the rest of their list must be making rookie wages...

no chance of them getting both, either way, its going to be an expensive year for the Blues....

Yep it would be complete farce, I will just about give away following footy if that happens.

How manny ambassador's do Carlton need??

[Teflon]

I hope they get Cloke.

I hope they sign him up for 5 years on $1m a year

I know he's a spud when the heat comes on

Agree
Cloke as a Blue is win-win. Makes the Filth angry for him leaving, and when he plays poorly in a Blue jumper, upsets the whole Blue army. Have to luv that!

Yup, and mick for $1.25m x 5....

Eddie will go hitherto unseen shades of purple and not rest until every scum skeleton and item of dirty linen is uncovered.

[chook23]

some discussion Freo and BJ

Freo offered big bucks for Clark.........but missed

[stinger]

i blame the scum press for ratten's demise......

i know some of you creeps post on here too..

tell me this......now you have succeeded in having ratten fired, who is going to be your next target..

you pricks are never happy unless you have at least one target in your gun-sights..

.you disgust me.....you really do...how do you sleep at night???

they can afford it

[gringo]

Either way all the successful clubs don't go wage crazy because it ends in tears. Ball to the Pies on big money means that guys like Cloke, swan and Pendlebury want their share. It's a bad precedent and long term hurts the clubs. i'm glad Scott has seen that as a way towards long term success. If they can find space after paying Millions to guys like that spud freo ruckman that plays reserves for them and then head hunt major stars something is a little fishy.

[70s sainter]

The thing is once you lose a quality player like Goddard how do you replace them again. If you're not going to pay top dollar how do we expect to pick up another gun player like Goddard . We won't finish bottom either so we can't pick them up in the draft. There is no point having salary cap money left over . There is so many factors at play . You have the players desire to finish with a premiership , the money on offer, the clubs location (state or suburb for that matter) , facilities, coaches, team mates. So sometimes its out of the clubs control. I'm confident in Pelchans record and I think he has a long term plan. It seems the club is heading in the right direction , unlike a few years ago.
Having said that we want Goddard to knock back larger offers from Freo , gws etc. this would be a great statement to everyone that the stkilda footy club is a great place to be.

Every chance. Have a look at their history

I see Greg Swann has categorically ruled out recruitng BJ to Carlton. See the bottom line of the article below re Ratten sacking.

I think Cloke and Mick to Carlton is a serious possibility - As is BJ to Freo.

If we can get Zachary Clarke and a pick around 15 (AFL compo) I guess Ill accept BJ going with sadness but I wont go feral.

Freo won't give up anything if he goes via free agency.

We re not talking about trading him to freo,
we re talking about him walking to freo as a free agent , which i think means we get nothing.

[Ralphy]

What about Fev are we in talks?

[St. Luke]

I really can't see Goddard moving on. I know the media have raised the anticipation he will, but I personally can't believe it. I can see him getting the captaincy next season and remaining a Saint for his entire career.

The free agency thing does dangle a delicious apple for those players who know it's a relatively short career in a cut-throat/unforgiving industry.

My money would be on Goddard staying. i think some people under-estimate what a team orientated bloke he is. Put it this way, I'd be incredibly surprised if he moves on.

[Thinline]

Thing is he's a chance at a flag with Freo.

They have THAT coach, the Melb monkey off the back and a fine, even list.

Goddard's a chance to go there for more money and play out his last five almost certainly in the upper echelons of the ladder.

He'll get maybe - MAYBE - one more shot at the prize at St K you'd reckon and more than likely on less money.

I hate this time of year.

[St. Luke]

True Thinline. Tough decision for him. Same work, better money, new prospects. You couldn't blame him if he moved. Loyalty doesn't pay the bills these days and seems a little outdated in a modern world.
