Straight in to Marley Williams spot who "Hopefully"will be enjoying a one way bus journey to the weegals home. |
Word is he wants to go to Richmond. |
Surprised we haven't seen more actual announcements given the media speculation on players like Williams, Frost, Brown and Witts. Cloke got it out there fairly early. |

We don't have to get Clokes salary off our books when we just got Swanny's, Caff's & Tooves off it. Clokes would have dropped substantially if he stayed because he apparently didn't meet certain criteria as well. That is a hell of a lot of TPP savings right there. If we are moving Cloke on I'd say it has zero to do with getting his reduced wage off our books & more a case of lets see what we can get for him. |
Yep, even the recent signings of Treloar and Howe wouldn't have pushed them beyond 95%. |
We are looking to sign free agents though. This is why we'd like the extra space. |
Liking and needing are two different things. It's likely that we'll need somewhere between $800k-$1m to sign both Mayne and Wells and we'll have more than enough capacity already with the underspend and the departing players announced to date. Just the wages of Swanny, Tooves and Macaffer would be more than that. |
There will be longer term planning than that and likely other players coming in. We obviously don't see Cloke as a critical part of our team, so clearing more cap space is a bonus.
Cloke's asked to leave and it's 99% that'll happen.

He's not in their best 22, so only crying for himself.

Jong would be pretty pissed off with the welfare, seeing he has not got a premiership medal, he will want out now id say.
