Our game plan is OK - try Cloke at CHB

[PeeKay]

There's nothing wrong with our game plan. We seem to get hold of the ball enough. It's what we do with it is the problem. No wonder we can't kick goals. The kicking and handball to players up field is pathetic and has been like that all year other for the games agaist Richmond in round one and St Kilda. We have been fortunate enough to grind out a few wins which has hidden the facts of our poor ball handling.
The question is will some or all of our players improve in this area with a further pre season under their belt and some extra weight and muscle. They make mistakes when they are under stress or a little tied.
The other note I would like to throw in is (now don't jump all over me) maybe it's time to try Cloke at CHB. It is an area where we fall down as we don't have a big strong marking CHB. Maybe he's a little slow but I'm thinking he might be worth a try there for the rst of the year. If we can get CHB fixed then we are on our way. I think we can fix CHF a little easier than CHB.

I'll take 'Things doomed to fail for $400', Alex.

The answer is 'Oh my god! We're all going to die! No defensive work at all for a CHB!!'.

Is it 'Cloke at CHB'?

Yay! I win!

Except we all lose.

Kreuzer would be way better, but we don't want to waste him.

Ah gotta appreciate a fresh game show response.

FFS...What did Jon Mc'enroe say... You cannot be serious!!!

You want a strong marking CHB.... "Newsflash".... he aint a strong marking anything and would be embarrassed at ground level, he is not even courageous.

 

[jonoman89]

What a great idea. Reiwoldt would have 30m of space every lead.

 

[Tanks_Alot]

I'd have to disagree with this strongly. Cloke only plays a few 'good' games a year, the guy is 24 and IIRC has not strung 2 good games together. He would get killed at ground level and doesn't have the pace or the engine to apply pressure and chase our defense will leak goals through him. Also when he does get the ball, he's not the brightest player and is prone to turning it over.

IMO the club took a low risk gamble by picking him up in the pre-season draft. He was still quite young at the time and he could have come good so it was worth the risk, but if we are to move forward I believe his time at our club is done unless he can earn his spot back and chip in with 2-3 goals a game being played in our forward line, but for some reason I don't think he is capable of this.

You lose. You should have answered "Who is Cameron Cloke?"

 

[krayfesh]

Damnit. Well, lets see what I bet...

A spot in the finals?

Oh no!

On the other hand, maybe it's not.

 

[Gibba]

That's one of the dumbest suggestions i've ever read in this forum. The only position that Cloke would be of any use would be deep up forward, where he has been kicking goals for the reserves. He seems like the only player (and probably Setanta) that is capable of taking a contested mark in the forward line.

 

[BlueSnake]

I think the universe just exploded.

 

[blues4flag]

What could possibly have led you to believe that Cloke could hold down CHB?

 

[juddsentant517]

****ing awesome idea
the guy has been kicking multiple goals in the forward line and is in career best form in the magoos. I know, lets move him to hte other end of the ground, surely that will, um, actually what a pathetic idea

 

[Salaryman]

Carlos Hits Buttocks?

 

[serenityNow]

lmao

dumbest idea i've heard.

Cloke does 2 things well........

1.Kicks the shit out of the ball every chance he gets.

2.Ducks for cover and braces for impact evertime he runs under the ball (attempted mark)

Neither of these would be of value at CHB.

If Cloke cant get a run with Irish injured, Kreuzer in ruck,Waite out for the season, Fisher farting around at ground level....and whoever else.......then i reckon its curtains.

 

[bluekidjoe]

I think the universe just exploded.

hahaha, agreed

 

[Sin City]

The bloke gets outmarked by Jordan Lewis and you want him taking on Brown and Franklin?

 

[Mister Carlton]

No comment.

Hmmm... nah, I'm gonna have to jump all over you, sorry PeeKay. Horrible idea. For so many reasons I won't list them all.

 

[Mister Carlton]

If he came up against Buddy...I believe that it would be worse that what Setanta did to him.

 

[The Exorcist]

Probably not the wisest comment I've read on BF, but let's not get too tough on the thread starter and treat him like he's treading water in a sea of ******ed sexuality - he's opened a suggestion, hasn't bagged anybody, and has pulled one out of left field which isn't necessary a bad thing at all.

Clokey does try, but the problem with Clokey is that he's just too slow, especially at CHB, where the opposition would run off him and we would be decimated. With Clokey at CHB we'd be lucky if the AFL didn't delist us.

Clokey's best bet is on the forward line where he probably deserves another shot, he's actually been a great servant of the club and deserves a bit of respect.

 

[Mister Carlton]

I still say we need to get Fev away from the forward line and let others have a go at kicking goals. Al la nearly every other side. We need variation.
Therefore try Houlihan at FF and put Fev SOMEWHERE else. Fev's still a good footy player but we need to have him somewhere where his "moods" don't matter as much.
Houlihan is quick, has strong hands and can kick a ball. He may not be Fev but I think he would be a better TEAM proposition than Fev.

I'll just leave this here....

So wonderful website!

Do not miss it!

Cathy Whoever, do you think we come to BF to buy sporting goods?

This really pi**es me off, SBS used to have a forum for the Tour de France - better than the BF one - and a few idiots decided to start advertising so much that SBS shut the forum down. Everyone was pi**ed off with the advertisements, too.

Just so you know Cath, I'm a fan of mercy killings

Mmmm, looks good.

Will be doing the degani bike ride up around Kinglake in the next few weeks, so will be sure to drop in after the ride and see what's available.

Do they do new legs, heart, etc? Even seen Stevo up there? Do they have weight loss programs?
