That's just plain cheeky BT.
Probably tempting fate but he comes, he doesn't come-I don't really care either way.
Fox Sports: Jake Niall:
TRAVIS Cloke has come to terms with the Western Bulldogs and will join the club on a greatly reduced two-year deal, contingent on a trade.
The Dogs and Cloke’s management have agreed on a two-year contract which will see the Collingwood forward paid a fraction of this year’s $800,000 plus salary. Cloke was contracted to be paid close to $450,000 by the Magpies but the Bulldogs will extend his contract by a season while paying him significantly less than that.
The only small sticking point will be the return that Collingwood will receive for the former All-Australian. It is unlikely to cost the Bulldogs much in terms of draft value given that Collingwood have recruiting priorities and need to open up salary cap room.
Sources suggest Cloke will be traded for a draft pick outside of the second round, although there is a chance the Magpies will request a player who has been deprived of opportunities at Whitten Oval.
... Our next pick outside the second round is pick 59.

Bravo.
Will be good to have another big body in the forward half.
Great stuff. I'm excited to get Clokey.
I was initially against the idea but I've warmed to it. The clincher will be whether Clokey will actually be able to kick goals. We don't need/want another unreliable forward
Wasn't recruiting a player on that list of things you had BT?
He doesn't have to kick goas or even get a kick ,just take the best backman with him and let Stringer , Dickson , Boyd ,Crameri etc monster the 2nd and 3rd best backman.
Trav was still covering 15km a game at AFL this year and Crameri does likewise or more. They're both club leading goal kickers who cover over 30km combined a game. That a bloody huge asset to insert into side, leaving aside Tommy developing and Stringer & Dickson (who can then stay deep forward ala Gia) get the lesser defenders.
