Look Cloke is better than people are giving him credit for and is a decent CHF. We don't need a CHF we already have one who is going to be better than, or at a minimum, the same as Cloke. What we need is a FF and we do not need to trade for an older one. We need to build a strong forward line and one that is going to be together for a number of years 5+, Cloke isn't going to be that player.
If we are going to trade for a FF it has to be a youngish type forward who cannot get games at another club due to numbers. Preferably we start building via drafts for this, just as we have been with our midfield.
Not sure who you are talking about there mate? Cloke was an absolute gun and has been for most of his career. Oh brown… you really rate brown don’y you?
Not the type of forward that we need. His best football is when he leads high up the ground and takes strong marks. He’s struggled ever since Collingwood traded Dawes, as Cloke is now expected to play close to goal.
If we had both Cloke and Daniher, that’s 2 players that can’t play close to goal and play their best football outside the 50 metre ark. It just doesn’t solve anything.

I said that earlier and i still stand by it. They are essentially the same type of forward so it would be a pointless exercise and only hold JD back even further. Of the two i would prefer Joe, he is younger and has plenty of upside, Cloke is getting to the end and would waste a spot.

What we need is to get in a FF that frees Joe up.
Agree. I was hoping that we would make an offer for Schultz last trade week. As he would be cheap, he would gel well with Daniher, he takes contested marks, kicks set shot goals, plays well inside the 50 metre arc, and would struggle for game time with Dixon going to Port. He’d be a short term option, but that is better than nothing at the moment.
