Cameron Cloke

[eddiesmith]

Seems to have done his shoulder again

Was smashed into the ground, as usual despite there being 3 different free kicks there none were paid, and didnt get up, when he did he was clutching his shoulder, the doctor popped it back in on the spot and he was then carted off to hospital, unfortunately seems like his season could be over

Now leaves us with 2 total duds if Josh gets injured or Trav dropped, terrific

Of course I know there are some Pies supporters who would be happy that there is 1 less Cloke available for selection

As for the game, shocking conditions, rain didnt stop from 9am untill about 20 minutes gone in the last, then started again before the game was over, finished in the dark and the lights came on then were turned off a minute later

Hopefully be no Clokes down at Willy next week, Jason deserves a recall to the side with another BOG performance, didnt drop a mark all day, probably took about 10, all contested in the wet including his now weekly screamer

Rowe was also outstanding and Yakka and Davies alright

Cam was playing well, let rip with a 70m drop punt and took about 3 contested marks in the wet before getting injured after about 10-15 minutes into the 1st qtr

Thanks eddie! The last thing I expected was a Willi report.

That might be more than Cam's season. Too many shoulder issues for a big man is not a good thing. If it crippled the superfreak Carey, then someone of Cam's ability is all but gone unfortunately.

I don't care what it takes, but we need a ruckman. Whatever it takes!

Meeson from the Crows would be a good bet. They have ruck depth and could be interested in trading for high-ish picks.

Hall's a dud, Flaps is gone, Cam is all but gone, Trav is a KP player only, Richards is a walking injury and Josh is carrying the load all by himself.

I'd flick Flaps, Hall, Walker and probably Cam due to chronic injury (and let's face it, he hasn't show a whole bunch). That's 4 over 192cms!

It is bad news. He was really in a troubled spot this year, most likely a make or break second half when assessing it with the staff I am sure. Played 2 not so convincing games before the break, and with this injury, his career at Collingwood may well be over, but then again, he is a tall and Walker and Hall may well be gone at seasons end (we would all think).

Another shoulder injury, unlucky. Bit of a curse on the big man. Had surgery on one of his shoulders less than 12 months ago.

You would think 1 of those would keep a spot, only because of their size. Cam probably the best bet, which is actually not wanted you would think.

Delist immediately.

Delist immediately.

And here comes the Anti Clokes

Are you also one of those who are now calling for Travis to be traded?

 

[jefffff34]

I, for one, am calling for Travis to not be near the club until he loses at least five kilos.

Richards has to play next week, if we are ever to dominant a club in hit outs, its against St.Kilda.

Did Rusling play?

Good to see two players that would have been perfect for today's conditions playing VFL.

No, Travis is by far the best.

 

[eddiesmith]

Out of our list, our top 5-6 wet weather players were either in the VFL (Yakka, Booch, Rowe, C1) or dropped aka The Chad and Daisy

Rusling was very, very average, should be promoted this week if the Egan precedent is anything to go by

Egan - What a star!

 

[Coin_Toss]

It's fantastic to know (Jason) Clokey is pitching in commanding performances. He hasn't got a lot to smile about for the time being, knowing his spot is all but consumed in extinction. I hope for his sake he gets a game next week.

Cameron was on the up-and-up.
Atrocious News. Bad luck, Cameron!

 

[MarkT]

Bad news for Collingwood and Cameron Cloke. Could be it for him. He was under the pump anyway. 3 shoulders in 3 years spells trouble in a big way. He's lucky in that he's one of the few big bodied contesting ruckmen/forwards we have on the list but how many list spots can you allocate to Walker/C2/Fanning/Hall/Richards. I'd say Richards is a certainty to stay. The others are in strife. One or two will stay. I'd keep C2 for 1 more year and forget the rest myself but I suspect Fanning will get another year.

 

[eddiesmith]

The Seagulls lost tall utility Cameron Cloke with a dislocated shoulder and he is likely miss at least a couple of games.

Williamstown coach Brad Gotch said the severity of the injury was not clear.

May not be the end

 

[MarkT]

Who knows but it will make it extremely difficult for him to impress this season and for him to remain sound indefinitely. I was a supporter of his but unfortunately I now think the balance is against him and he will be gone in 2 years. Hope I’m wrong because I’d love him to get to where he looked like he could 2 or 3 years ago. I am not backing it though.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Where did all that weight come from? He wasnt that big in Round One!!!

 

[MarkT]

I have no idea what is happening with Travis but if he is on a weight gain programme and not running a lot he might be putting on some KG’s. What natters more than anything is how he turns out for round 1 2007. A bit more muscle and a bit less fat is what would be idea. That will be his third season and while still young if key position terms I think it would be fair to expect real contributions on a regular basis. So far he has really dropped away at the end of his first two seasons. At least early this year he was playing a role and making a contribution. He isn’t really worth his spot apart from the fact he needs games to develop.

As a second year player and a teenage key position player I’d expect a level of inconsistency and downright ordinariness. Next year needs to be a lot more positive though.

 

[bren_gc]

I for one would like to see us hold on to C2. I think his rucking, while not being superb, is sounds. He always tries hard in the ruck, even when out of his depth. He still isn't that old remember, so I think he is worth holding on too.

I can see him becoming a strong CHF/FF in years to come. He's not the quickest, but can take a good grab when he wants to.

I also think he should have been in the team ahead of travis in the last few games.

 

[Bojangles17]

Now that young Trav's been contracted long term to the pies his older siblings will be axed soon as their contracts expire which by my reckoning will be this season...

You seriously have no ****ing idea, but I guess you are hoping they get axed, the Tigers have been chasing them for years, and still are

But for your information if Cam and jases contracts are up this year, then so is Travis, all on the same length contract and that is 100% fact
