I'm amazed this thread hasn't had the usual infestation of collingwood posters coming on and bagging the crap out of anyone who dares say anything derogatory about the pies.
Anybody know where I can buy one of those nathan buckley sook dolls on the footy show last night? You know, it was brought on the show by a collingwood fan and proudly paraded on national tv. Eddie was so impressed.

As long as they are playing for Collingwood, and not my team, it's fine by me.
My suggestion:
A slow of Clokes.
How about:
A Footy Show of Clokes.
That one must be true. I saw it last night.
Can't wait until round 1 next year:
welcome to the The Footy Show. bla bla bla big week bla bla bla
Our penalists tonight, ...Jason Cloke....Cameron Cloke....Travis Cloke...bla bla bla. Our special Guest tonight is player manager extraordinaire, David Cloke OA.
