53 comments Good old Damir Cloke at it again. Commenter Martin Location Preston Date and time June 07, 2012, 6:55AM The media has a short memory - this is like Groundhog Day from DCloke. He did it with Jason , then Cam, has already done it withTrav previously - he is an 80s moron. Living in the past - stillbelieving he is on-field & using his hefty frame to intimidatepeople out of the way. Trav is a meek sort of guy - let him be old man Commenter Steelbreese Location around Date and time June 07, 2012, 8:30AM At the end of the day it is Trav who has to put pen to paper. He is25 and should be able to make a considered decision as to where hewants to play, and for approximately how long and how much (maybehe isn't too switched on though). It doesn't seem like David hasmuch more idea other than 'lots of money over a long period of timeor else...is anyone listening to me...can I approach someoneelse...???' Commenter Al Location Souf Yarra Date and time June 07, 2012, 9:06AM The arrogance and possible stupidity of Cloke senior. If Travsimply must receive more (and over 5 years) then the tattooedDanes, Steele, Daisy, Pendles, Reid et al must consequently receiveless of the pie. Doesn't auger well for team unity and flags. 5years is a long time in a contact sport too. The Collingwoodhierarchy must be so frustrated in having to accept a player ofTrav's ability being managed this way. Commenter Terry Location Mooroopna Date and time June 07, 2012, 9:29AM The hypocrisy of this position is outstanding. I would bet Londonto a brick that Cloke's form is not being affected by the contractposition anywhere near as much as it is being affected by the mediacoverage. Leave him alone, stop writing articles like this, anddeal with the reality of professional sports. This is not kid'sstuff. Almost every other sport in the world deals with playertransfers in a mature, adult fashion, and yet we weep and wring ourhands for months any time this situation arises. Give it a restCaro! Commenter Not Caroline Location Overseas Date and time June 07, 2012, 7:08AM waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Commenter JW Location Date and time June 07, 2012, 10:13AM I'm not a pies supporter but with all the bad talk about them aninjuries, it is amazing they are still around. Cloke should getover himself and sign up. Nathan Buckley is doing a fantastic joband taken the pies to a new level. Commenter Kendo Location Melbourne Date and time June 07, 2012, 7:11AM How true perfectly described talk about the ugly parent syndrome insport. David Cloke fits the bill to a tee. Go get yourself a joband leave your sons contract to a professional. Commenter fitzboy Location clifton hill Date and time June 07, 2012, 7:16AM Here we have the meddling father trying to enact his own fadeddreams through his son. Like an old and stubborn king, the dangeris he'll let the city burn rather than surrender it. He won't letgo, so we may have to let Trav go. Commenter pithyinsights Location Date and time June 07, 2012, 7:16AM Meddling father? What a load of ....! He, like any father, is trying to get as much cash as he can forhis sons future, would you do any different? He knows collingwoodcan't afford to loose his son because they have nobody who canreplace him, atm. Just maybe it's collingwood (what a surprise) being unreasonable.How many games has Cloke missed thru injury or form since 08, whichwould be 5 seasons ago at season end? So why not give him 5 yearswhen you can always trade him later, which these articles alwaysseem to leave out. That's right, they could give him 5 years andthen trade him next year if they really wanted too, so the lengthof the contract is a media taking point only. He wont be over paidbecause collingwood can't afford to, so even if they had to tradehim with 4 years left on his contract the money isn't going to putoff other clubs from doing a deal. David knows this, so doescollingwood, but it seems nobody in the media does because itdoesn't suit their "story". Also it is not Davids fault if Ross Lyon is willing to sell thewhole Freo footy club to get his son, is it! Melb haven't any moneyexcept what their given so they are kidding no-one, the same forthe dogs. Just another story meant to get people angry with David, instead ofa stubborn collingwood lead by a stubborn president who alwayslikes to be seen as being able to get everybody to march to hisdrum. Which he has, because there is no way in hell caro is goingto take on eddie everywhere and put this at the feet of thecollingwood fc, where it belongs.
