| When the tall Swans forwards rip through the Dogs on Saturday, Cloke, for a short while, will look like the answer to their misery. |

I can't see how recruiting Cloke will be an appropriate response to a good game by Buddy |

| I read today that Lin Jong is unlikely to make the team for the Grand Final. I can't help but hope this increases our chances of recruiting him. to be honest, I was unsure about how good he was until I saw his brilliant and heroic display in the Dogs VFL. I reckon he would fit straight into our best 22 and give us that extra bit of speed, run and carry we need. Along with Wells, this alone could help propel us into the top 8. |

| ^^^ Or at least improve the VFL team's showing in the finals, if they get there next year. |

They can piss into the wind and let the urine blow back on em, for all the good he will do them.

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.

In all honesty, he'd be nuts to leave the Dogs wouldn't he?
About to go into a GF, and even if they lose, the window should remain open for a few seasons yet. And he's getting a game so......
Why would you leave that for Gold Coast?

You know what I mean E.
The Dogs are about to go into a GF and even if they lose, the window should remain open for a few seasons yet. And Jong's been getting a game so...... (Until his injury. And he might still get named tonight).
I just think he's crazy to consider the Suns who are bottom 6 material, or even our mob who dont look like winning any flags soon.

People understand the concept of money, don't they? And earning a living? And Boyd being on $1M per year for another 5 years? And the Dogs' cap being stretched to breaking point? Cool, just checking...

It may help, they were going OK when he toured the Holden Centre anyway, from memory he was still playing in their seniors.
He may just have driven his price up a little in recent weeks. |

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. |

He wasn't getting a game until the Holden Centre story then boom, straight in and not out until injured. Shows me that they have some interchangeable parts at the Whitten oval, and that Jong obviously is fine to play the role he is picked for. I mean there system probably has 10 people playing the same kind of role as him, gut run both directions, handball, kick accurately sidewards, short ahead or low inside 50. He also goes third man up sometimes.
