I've never read Synbad's posts....at a cursory glance; they've always seemed to be incredibly longwinded and rambling.

And today; I've commented very blandly with 3 words as a reply to a Synbad post for the very first time in 7 years...... and a Moderator has stepped in to flex his newfound muscles...... .

Absolutely unbelievable!................ .......

But if anyone dare say anything like that to you, you report them straight away? I don't see why you'd be angry about it?

Warby..... goodness gracious.. Casboult is going to become Cloke.... can u telll us in what way Casboult can be develioped in to Cloke???

My posts are long winded.. maybe cos my claim to fame isnt posting up links to the Herald sun????

Or saying Casboult might be the next Cloke...

Cloke is a pretty good footballer you know... theyre talkin g about him as a one million dollar a year player...
Casboult will be lucky to play 30 games...

That is not true.

I'm uncommitted on Cloke - would like to see what else is on offer over the next few weeks.

Also, we have young talls, albeit under-developed. The big question for me is how will they progress under a different development regime ??

5 mill on 5 years is a huge gamble.

If we were offered 3 and 20 now for Marc Murphy, would you take it?

What did Murphy do to you Rhino?

Thought he did well do come back and play clearly underdone and undersized.

Last year he was very very good. Won coaches award if i remember correctly. That usually says something.

Plenty of better targets than Murphy.

If we are talking this years National draft I would say yes but would ask for a swap of second rounder draft pick as well.

I think we all know that CLoke will make us a better team.

He will come at a huge cost though that will leave us in a heap in the future if we win a flag or not.

So its a gamble. Do we take a punt or play it safe and hope for the best.

It is a huge gamble, but with a few players like Judd, Simmo, Scotland, Waite & Carrots all 28 plus, our premiership window isn't that wide, hence MM has come on board. Cloke is expensive but proven, and can't really see guys like Casboult, Mitchell holding down key positions when we're going for a GF in the next two years. Too big an ask & too risky. Got to remember that we're competing against Hawks (Franklin & Roughhead), Geelong (Hawkins & J-Pod), West Coast (Kenney & Darling), Adelaide (Tippett & Walker).

all good points, TE

still like to wait a few weeks though to see if any other options arise

IMO Judd was twice the player Murphy is when he left West Coast Agro. So they'd bre crazy to take 3 and 20?
For the record, I wouldnt trade Murphy for the No.1 pick. Having watched the championship games, theres too many hits and misses this year. Too unpredictable.

Just don't rate him as highly as others do. It concerns me that he's our most important player, yet so mentally fragile. 3 and 20 is a good return for making him a scapegoat for the season (far better than using, say, Gibbs or Walker instead).

I'd love to know how Mick rates him. Probably much higher than I do, but certainly curious to see how his role changes.

BV would you trade 11 for Caddy or keep it?

The coaches award says the coaches rate him very highly. They'd better better judges than all of us I'd suggest.
The kid was a jet earlier this year until injured. Probably the form player of the competition.
