View Full Version : Cam Cloke
Wht a bargain thisguy is turning out to be for us, had my doubts but he way he moves around the ground and his aggression is great to see, rather him than Bryan.

has been terrific. Love his aggression and passion. Awsome pick up and hopefully continues playing this way so then Ackland doesnt get a run.

Gee he is a big fella and works his date off!
Some people called him too slow early in the year
I thought he was super last year until injured and he has come back well.
He has never played a bad game for Carlton. Works so had.
Agree with comments above - had some serious doubts when we drafted him but he has been great. Tries hard, uses his bulk well, runs hard to provide an option. Great stuff!!

so true.... he runs the other ruckman to the ground... i reckon there is 5-6 times per game he works his butt off to get himself in open space to take a mark...

When we took control of the game Cam was in the ruck...Three taps to Carlton players i remember as a highlight...
Not blessed with skill but he busts his guts each week...

damn he leads all the time gives options to other players all the time... hopefully he can keep it up and stay injury free and a real good leader on the pitch

Actually think for a big guy his field kicking is good!

He bombs the ball forward too often but i actually saw him hit targets short today which is a good sign..
something for him to work on

He is 10 times the player Hackland is, rather him and his aggression than a player who wont chase, run, tackle or get a tap or give a option.

Its good to have him with us.Imagine how good of a ruckman he would be if he were 200cm.Has the body for hard knocks while Kreuzer,Hampson and perhaps even Aisake develop.He also keeps our embarassment Ackland away from public view.
He will be right up there in the B+F count after five rounds.
We couldn't have asked any more from him from the day that we drafted him.
That is what we need more of at our our club. Guys who are willing to work their arse off and give their all for the club.

Fev and Juddy get all the media but step back and try and picture what our last 2 wins might have resulted in had we not had a ruckmen that was competitive. With Ackland languishing in the VFL ,Hammo injured,Kreuzer learning his trade and Aisake not yet up to AFL standard ,I'm thankfull Cloke has stood tall for Carlton.:thumbsu:

Kudos to him. :thumbsu: His work ethic is top notch, and whilst I thought he'll struggle to get a game next year, if he keeps this form up, he well and truly deserves his spot.
Hopefully the shoulder doesn't give way.
