Cloke's a bigger size and a thumping kick, but Fisher has it over him in every other department.

If you had to choose only one, it depend on which way you looked at it. Fisher would be the safer option, as he's basically proved himself as a consistent performer and looks set to become a star. Cloke on the other hand has the X-factor. His two main attributes I mentioned are probably the most dangerous combination an AFL player can have. If he establishes himself, he'll dominate. Probably more so than Fisher.

Fish is the man.

It all depends on how much his body can bulk up as to what level he reaches in the AFL.

If he can put on a bit of bulk i see him very similar style to Tarrant.

The last Cloke looks by far better than the other 2 already.

Fisher is a very good player, but has to get out on the park. Was good late in the season, 13 goals in 7 games is a very good effort.

There are two reasons why i choose Cloke. He has shown enough from his first season that he is going to be a top class player and lived up to more than his first year expectations, and that I am a Collingwood supporter and have a stronger opinion as I know what is in store, compared to Brad.

This thread is pretty pointless if only Carlton and Collingwood fans reply.
Obviously Carlton fans prefer Fisher and Collingwood fans prefer Cloke.

The thing about Travis Cloke is that, well, he's a Cloke. Anything could happen next year just like it did with Jason.
Or he could play 333 games and kick six goals in a premiiership side like his old man.

Nah, cant see him moving to Richmond... Or Richmond winning a premiership during the span of his career for that matter. :D

Cloke hands down, although Fisher will be a good player if he stays injury free. If this thread was Waite Vs Cloke you might have a more even debate, I'd still have Cloke though.

At the momment: Waite > Fisher > Cloke.

How does that make a Waite/Cloke comparison more even?

Waite has shown some remarkable skills and ability but hasn't demonstrated that he can harness those traits to become a consistent performer. Whilst neither has Cloke, it makes for an even comparison..

Waite is currently a better player but Fisher isn't.

Cloke is 18 and, without and research, I'd say Waite and Fisher are at least 21. What were those two doing at Cloke's age?

I can understand Carlton supporters wanting to hang their hat on the little talent they actually have on their list, but any impartial observer will tell you Cloke will be more valuable than these two put together.

I'd argue with this if it wasn't so stupid.

Any impartial supporter will tell you you're a **************** with a comment like that.
