I don't think that it is realistic to think of Jong as being worth MORE than Cloke.
I very much doubt that the open market values Jong as even being worth as much as Cloke.
If we are to do this trade, taking my own feelings about it out of the picture, objectively - if we got Cloke for Jong, and Collingwood pay the salary difference, then at face value, its a very reasonable trade.
This is most sensible. We are taking a risk that Cloke's drop off is due to Buckley and we can turn his confidence and game around. But Collingwood are taking a risk that the little teaser that Jong throws out a few times a year can be transformed into a decent footballer. Neither are dead certs from happening. So I can see an argument objectively that says they're both around the mark,
