2009 Season:
Cloke’s 2009 got off to a horrible start when he was attacked on New Year’s Eve while holidaying on the Sunshine Coast. He suffered facial injuries with fractures to his cheek, nose and eye socket. A few months later, gunshots were fired into Cloke’s home. Threatening letters were also sent to Cloke. All of this seriously affected him mentally and he received counselling. On the football side of things, Travis Cloke added 22 games to what now represents 100 career AFL matches at only 22 years of age.
While playing second fiddle to John Anthony as the main target inside 50, Cloke pushed further up the ground and in turn averaged a career-high in possessions (15.0) and tackles (1.7).
Career:
He played 15 games in each of his first two seasons (2005 and 2006) after Collingwood committed to selecting him as a father/son pick in the 2004 AFL Draft, and showed enormous promise, which culminated in his outstanding 2007 season, when he emerged as one of the premier centre-half forwards of the competition, winning the best-and-fairest at the tender age of 20. In 2008 he had to contend with a depleted forward line but still managed to lead the team in contested marks. The following season was a difficult one learning to contend with John Anthony receiving the majority of the inside 50 deliveries. He still managed 22 games to take his career total to 100. The son of former Magpie David Cloke, who played 114 games for the club between 1983-89, and younger brother of former Magpies Jason and Cameron (who now plays for Port Adelaide), he will be looking to take his game back to the heights of 2007 and better in 2010.
