Cloke should get rubbed out for 3 weeks [although I will be happy as long as he gets 1].
What worries me is the influence the Magpies and Essendon have over the AFL. Such clubs cost us draft concessions with the consistence winging.
I would be annoyed if the tribunal starts weakening to these clubs like Jackson...and some clubs get favourable outcomes at tribunal hearings.

He will get off as the AFL wants a Victorian team to win the flag. He should get 2. There's 2 weeks in that. He was never going for the ball. You don't misjudge things that big. He had his eyes on the ball but the intent was to hit Edwards who was having a good game.
Can't disagree with that assessment Special.
The swinging arm came from undreneath and collected the poor bugger a beauty.
Cloke should get done big time for that little effort but why do I have this conviction that the powers that be will excuse it on the ground of "making a realistic attempt to spoil"??
I remain yours cynically..........

It was an ordinary effort by Cloke, and I'm sure Tyson Edwards is a sore, sorry boy at the moment. HOWEVER, I would like to see Cloke get off for two reasons:
1 - Nobody deserves to miss the chance to play a Grand Final.
2 - I don't want Collingwood to have any excuses when we bury them!!

I dont have any sentiments that the Grand final should be reason not to suspsend someone.
The week before the game, you shouldnt be doing anything stupid that would land you in hot water. Good players need to be disciplined or face the consequences.
It was careless/thoughtless, more than anything else.

Looked a lot like 99 PF with Crackers and MacCartney. Doesn't matter what he meant - he got it horribly wrong.
Stand by for QCs.

Should be incarcerated for the term of his natural life. Either that or a severe talking to.
