That's right, Travis Cloke is closing in on the world record for contested marks in the VFL/AFL.

The record is currently held by Matthew Richardson at 75.

Travis currently has 67.

A Beast of a man!
 
Assuming he plays every game he looks like he'll finish on about 90.

Essendon coming up, should add about 10 more that match.
 
Amazing season, finally turning into what we all thought he could be. (Well for me anyway!)

A nice record to break, well done Trav! :thumbsu:

Rauf Songa Songa took 183 in the Djibouti Premier Aussie Rules League in 2005. Trav will probably smash the Australian record though.

(sorry, pet peeve :))

Rauf, that'd be Songa's brother.

Songa Songa Songa, if my memory serves me correctly won the 50 metre butterfly at the 2003 Berlin Olympics, eclipsing Ian Thorpe's world record.

Back on topic, Trav has left the field in his wake this year in a Bradmanesque way.

He's been amazing.

Will be good to count them down, though is it a bit arbitary what's contested and what's not?

Wonder who actually judges these stats?? Is there an official stat keeper, guess there is.

The DPARL statistics are not recognised by the AFL/VFL since the break-away League has not been unified.
That's why the DPARL Premiers get a Belt and Macca's coupons instead of a Cup and a Flag.:)
 
Only 3 tonight for Trav but against a very good defender in Bock. He blew Bock up in the end but unfortunately for him the side switched off in the 2nd half and he didn't get many chances on the ranga.

70 Contested marks. 6 to go for the record.
 
Anyone else think it would be an awesome idea to somehow get highlights package of him done at the end of the season with JUST contested marks?
Only his best one's though :D
 
Carilse And Fletcher will be trounced

If course Fletcher will make the young fella take a man and not do it himself

Should beat the record pretty comfortably, but Bock easily did the best job on him of any defender all year. Hopefully doesn't hurt Trav's confidence being so comprehensively beaten for the first time this year.
 
He had 21 possessions, 10 marks And 2 goals

Bock was sound but badly beaten you're ripping that out of your ass

Just 1 contested mark today? That doesnt sound right

Nah it's right, and it's why the record is so tough to break.

Consider today, no one on the ground took more then 2 contested marks, from either team.

It has to do with what Champion Data classify as a contested mark, and their interpretation is obviously pretty tough.

Must have only been his mark to kick his first goal then

Always wondered what counted as a contested mark
