Player Watch 32 Travis Cloke

[Black_White]

"We normally like to see the gloves and test them in some fashion before giving approval,

In some fashion?
So they don't have an actual science based testing regime?
Or is it a case of "heck Trav's back, let's see what we can do".

 

[danielnajdek]

AFL tackling the hard issues...

 

[anshell]

I expect him to be deregistered over this,and for Collingwood to be stripped of all its points this year.Absolute scandal.

 

[migz]

Gotta say the afl can eat a fat dick for not approving his glove. The bloke finally finds some form and you pick on a glove? Seriously?

 

[Kappa]

He'll struggle to get a game next year

And some people think he can play good AFL footy into his 30s...

1 Good game the entire year and the rest has been majority utter trash, this is an experienced AA player we're talking about.. NOT good enough

You talk a lot of shit kappa. He will play plenty of games next year, if not for collingwood it'll be another AFL club!

Yes sorry... Travis Cloke playing in the VFL is completely stupid and will never happen... You're right, he's a great player.

Will only get better after 30 too like most players

He has been a great player for a long time, he is no longer great but certainly good enough to play at the top level.
But I guess you'll argue the point cause you always have to be right. The last month shows cloke still has something to offer

 

[ThePhantom777]

We should trade Cloke while he has currency. Get a first round pick and player for him.

was back to woeful tonight

Have you actually watched Cloke this year?

Outside of a handful of games most of his performances have been VFL standard and I see no reason he'll be better next year as he gets to 30

We could try get Fremantle's top 4 pick and Fyfe (injury prone) for him

His early season form was rubbish, but if you look at his stats since he has come back into the side he has been quite good.
Tell me, who would be doing a better job than cloke on our list? He is not worth trading and dwarves to be a one club player, you don't discard loyal servente after a few bad games

Two blokes called Mason Cox and Darcy Moore who will only improve next year

 

[Unknown Identity]

Didn't even realise he played tonight...

Mason cox isnt half the player of Travis cloke, compare the twos stats over their last 4 games and come back to me.
I'd be surprised if Cox actually improves a great deal more that where he is currently at

After watching Cloke tonight i'm thinking i might change my opinion on the Dawes thread.

Cloke is the worst waste of money I've seen since the Shane Wakelin shampoo ad.

Mason Cox averages more goals per game than Cloke in 2016

In his 2nd season he has EVER played AFL footy and you don't think he has much improvement left?? How can even... what... ok mate.

 

[Ketchup]

Delivery into the forward line was dreadful today. I give our forward line the week off this week because yes they weren't great, but **** me some of the kicks in I swear our midfielders and half backs were blind

Will will have nowhere near the career of cloke, he had 2-3 ok games but his last month in the seniors was more about Buckley being stubborn on cloke than what cox was giving us. Was very ordinary and had minimal impact on the game.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

His game against GWS was an exception to the rule.

He's so past it.

Yes, he didn't do much in his last few games as he was clearly not fit enough to play.

I'm sure his body was struggling coping with the demands of being a full time AFL player considering it's only his second year, when he was fit though he did some pretty special things consistently.

Amazing how Cox was so ordinary in his last month and he STILL averages more goals than Cloke who you are defending...

And guess out of Cox and Cloke who has more upside going into 2017 and beyond?

Not sure they are even playing for the same spot but I'd still be backing cloke in for the 2017-18 seasons

A forward line of Cox Moore and White with Grundy in the ruck doesn't have room for Cloke, there is competition there.

Yep, white is the third tall/ruck the same as cox. There's the answer
