Can JAson Cloke Make the Grade?

[hotpie]

........Constantly in the best players for Williamstown in recent months, I havent written Jason Cloke's career off yet. The way Maxwell is playing, there is potential for him to move forward or even into midfield or key position, creating space for C1 in the back pocket or back flank. He will definitely be a one position player, but so are a number of players in the team. He's got ot stay out ofteh forward line at all costs.

I think he's a definite keeper for 2006 and beyond if he keeps his form up. He may yet turn out to be a very good player for the Pies.

He is definatly still worth a chance,look how long it took Prest to settle into a senior spot.

[guess_who]

Jason and Trav are worthy of a spot on our list. Cam is not.

if you look at most of the teams , they have up and coming key forwards , so we are definately going to need some talls to play in defence.our backline has got to be the most underated group of players in the last decade in my opinion.they are not stars apart from jimmy clement, but beat theyre opponents on most occasions.wakes and presti are getting to the end of theyre playing days , and we will need to try and replace them , hopefully jason can become a key backman for us.

Jason would have got a game by now, but the backline is just so consistent at the moment that Mick can't fit him in anyway. I feel sorry for Jason, because he has been playing excellent football for Williamstown over the last couple of weeks.

I'm with Figjam but if anyone mentions Whitnal I'll shoot them with my Ben Kinner laser.

Cam doesnt play too badly, he just slow

If we play St.Kilda every week and he is on Hamill...

Dont bother, many coaches around the league see Jason as a good player and should he be up for trade, many clubs will jump at the opportunity to sign him.

Ya think?!?!

 

[eddiesmith]

Ya think?!?!

I know as a fact

It may suprise you that not all people hate him and think he is a hack, there are even some sane Collingwood supporters who can see he is a good player

 

[grayza]

i could see him playing this week on someone like Daniel Merrett

i feel he will definitely play again this season

 

[bucksisbest]

No good.

Exactly what i've been saying.

Cloke bagging seems to be the "IN" thing to do. Just wait til Travis has a bad game or 2.... his career will apparently be in ruins..

There is definitly a question mark hanging over Jason's head, but all is not over. Just a challenge for him to get back into the side and cement a regular spot. If he does, he will be a good key defender. If not, he will be gone within the next 2-3 seasons.

Cameron: 2nd season player, who has played out of position all year. How people bag him is beyond me. He's done some great things for a player of his experience. I have absolutely no concern with the way he's coming along.

Travis.. well i dont need to go there do i?

jason cloke is a rank hack and hopefully will get traded. just too slow & clumsy for AFL not to mention dumbest player ever

How many games has Cameron played about 18? Wait awhile, I'd say Jason can make it, and Cameron if given the chance too.

If he is a hack how would he be traded?

 

[Jabso]

Jason Cloke is showing good signs at VFL level (like showing the ability to peel off at the right time and good one on one aerial skills). He would be getting a game if one of Maxwell, Clement, Presti, Wakelin were injured or playing really bad but they are playing fantastically well. The thing is Jason Cloke is too short and too slow to play on most key forwards at AFL level if he was 4cms taller and a little quicker he would be a fine AFL player. However he is a definite keeper for 2006 because we have poor key defender depth.

I don't know about that - did you ever play?

 

[hotpie]

The thing is Jason Cloke is too short and too slow to play on most key forwards at AFL level .

So is Glen Archer

How is he the dumbest player ever? Jason has easily got great footy smarts, and wathcing play for Williamstown over the weekend proved it.
