    I'm not a Cloke fan by any stretch of the imagination but he doesn't come with anywhere near the off field baggage of Fevola.

    I reckon we'll make a play for Tippett.

      Tippett will most likely go home to Queensland.

        Yes he probably will. I just think we will make a play for him and I think we'd be a pretty good proposition for him to consider.

        It's just a feeling I have.

          I hope you're right Jewels - would be a good pick up.

            Certainly would be, a player of his caliber would have made a huge difference in game like tonight's.

              I personally think it might have if given more time. I was always saddened by that

                I think he does have the potential to have the bloods spirit instilled and Plugger and Barry probably did fail the no dickheads policy but they were tantalising propositions.

                They chose to put their faith in Sam Reid as a long-term option. I don't like the idea of two big forwards on long-term contracts, especially when Cloke will come at a big cost at a time when we have a few young players whose value is rapidly increasing.

                For better or worse, they need to build around Reid. Cloke is not the answer.
                The cost is an issue, a mill a year is a stretch. If he could give us 70 goals a season then maybe.

                  I don't think so, it is just something that has evolved through the media, it has never been a policy. I am sure somewhere in the RWO archives someone has explained the basis of this "policy".

                    Mickey O makes mention of it in his book.
