Cameron Cloke :S

[West_Lever19]

i think they should drop him. last night he made several stupid errors that either cost carlton goals or st kilda pounced on and kicked goals.

what do you all think??

 

[blue gunslinger]

On that criteria we could drop the whole team. If there is a better player to come in sure but he is doing his best with what he has. Is learning still and having a go. Was not alone having a bad night
I say keep him in.

 

[gbatman]

Yes, no good against quality opponents, Kosi and even King killed him. Has a poor defencive game and is no good as a key position forward.

No clean him out, bring in Hampson or even Jacobs, develope these guys at least they are genuine ruckman size.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Can't really argue with that

 

[West_Lever19]

i definetly agree

 

[Alpha1]

I think we should give Cloke a go at CHF he has a big body and lots of guts he is not a ruck man. Yes we should bring in Hammo or Jackobs that way we can play Cloke in the forward line. We are crying out for Big key players at the moment ant it can't hurt to try him at CHF.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Don't think he is mobile enough. He would just get into Fev's way unless he anchors in the goal square when Fev get on his bike

Jacobs is a rookie listed player isn't he?

I like the idea of Cloke at CHF.

Bryce Gibbs made two errors that led directly to Saints goals.

He was one of our best.

Poor logic.

Clokey is no more than a trier, but he does compete. Made less errors than Waite, Russ.........FFS even Juddy chasing Gram was worse.

Poor game by the Team in general. Without Cloke our thin ruck division looks anorexic.

Yeah i agree with ya there,give Clokey a run at CHF to see how that pans out.

 

[OZBomb]

I think there's people ahead of him who need dropping. Didn't cover himself in glory, but he's not Robinson Crusoe there.

I agree with the CHF/FP theory.

 

[The Real Deal]

Time to bring back Ackland? haha

 

[rolandinho]

i thought we looked really good in the geelong time with him at CHF. He was a positive in a game where there weren't many. On at least 2 possibly 3 occasions, he marked across the HF line and delivered lace out on to FEV's Chest. His kicking is exceptional for a big man also. Bring Hammo back in and give cloke a good go at CHF, we can always rotate Kreuze through there if its not working out. We need one of them in there if we are going to play edwards as a target, as he cant create a contest.

 

[pumped]

Really like Cameron. Think he has heaps of passion and strong committed attacks on the ball. Also has good skills for a big man. Would not want to see him dropped this season.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

He is one of very few who show heart week in week out...


Is there a better option for him...

Jacobs is not up to AFL standards, regardless of how tall he is... Hampson is still learning the game... out of the ruck contest he is a wasted player on the ground ATM

 

[Kramer1]

Stupid idea...those calling for Cloke to be dropped need to get a better grasp of the game.

On Friday he made a couple of mistakes, but also had 11 touches, 13 hitouts a goal and six tackles...hardly a disaster. I actually thought a couple of his palm downs to advantage were first rate, and he had a thumping hit out that cleared the square.

Perhphaps people are judging him by different standards, but he offers a lot more than the Kruez most weeks. Jacobs is rookie listed and will not be elevated. Hampson has looked well out if his depth and is very much a project player.

Cloke is still our number one ruckman by some margin.

Which is why they are into Warnock and will make a big play for him at seasons end if they cant steal Brogan cheaply.

 

[Bluebear]

Clokey needs to get a bit more physical and lay a body on some on the mids.

Actually Fev does as well.

If there are guys blocking his space, don't try and jump over them.......run through them (legally of course).

Takes a bit of courage to keep putting yourself in front of a guy the size of Fev when he is at full tilt.

 

[HBF]

I to like the idea of having Cloke at CHF, but i'm not sure what his tank is like, and how quickly he'll blow up playing in that position. If Hampson is ready to go again at senior level, I would do that for sure.

Cloke will never win you a game off his own boot at CHF, but what he will give you is an honest contest, and he will work his guts out all day. Worth a go I reckon. We've got nothing to lose.

actually cant remember which game but Buckley says his tank is amazing (or something similar but in same context) for a big guy during the commentary!!

might have been the 2nd pies game!!!

How dare you disspell the myth that Cloke is not mobile enough to play CHF.

We are crying out for a 195cm+ player who can take a strong grab or hit a pack hard and bring the ball to ground playing across half forward.

'Mobility' has been the big word that the MC defenders have been hanging their hats on...now what are you leaving them with?!?!

hey not my fault....you would think they would have trialled him for a game, such as the freo game, maybe even the upcoming port game!!!

Wouldn't it be easier to say that he's harder to cover in the ruck for now and when Kreuze and Hammer can cover him he will play at CHF more?
